Need Help Choosing Makeup Brushes

I need new brushes, and I've heard nothing but good things about the Sephora Collection. However, there are so many options, and I'm trying to decide which ones to purchase. Please let me know your thoughts and personal favorites. Here are the ones I'm considering.

 

Foundation (Liquid): #47, #56, or #70 - Which of these would you recommend? Which of these is versatile enough to provide medium and full coverage?

Concealer (Liquid): #57 or #71 - Which provides a better application?

Bronzer/Contour (Powder): #79, #93, or #99 - Which is best for a seamless application that does not require maximum buffing?

Highlight (Powder): #98 - Any other suggestions?

 

Please provide some recommendations for eyeshadow brushes. Out of the options #13, #14, #15, #18, #19, #24, #26, and #27, which one or combination will be best for the base, transition, crease, and applying shimmer or glitter eyeshadow?

Thanks in advance for your help

Great choices, love SC brushes.

 

Out of the foundation ones you named, SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Foundation Brush #47 is my favorite, gives medium coverage.  Can also be used for contouring, highlight and blush.  I would also recommend SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Foundation Brush #64 .  It can do medium to full, and it's like a stippling brush. 

 

For the concealer, both are good.  57 is great for diffusing concealer for light coverage, or blending.  71 is good for under eye and getting into crevices (like around the nose.  Both are multitasking.  I used 57 for cream highlighting and 71 for eyeshadow.  However my current face concealer brushes aren't SC ones, they are Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Face 3.0 Targeted All Over Face Conceal & Sculpt Brush- For liquid, Creams or Powders and NARS #10 Radiant Creamy Concealer Brush  

 

For powder (finishing or foundation) I like SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Bronzer Brush #80 even though it's a bronzer brush.  For cream bronzer, I prefer SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Bronzer Brush #88 - 88 with 64 are my underpaint dream team

SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Blush Brush #99 is the best with cream blushes

I like SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Blush Brush #93 for powder (contour and brush) for the angle.  I have their older angled brush for this one.

 

Haven't tried them, but also noteworthy are the essential brushes.  Specifically I would look at

SEPHORA COLLECTION Essential Brush - 04 Cheek  

SEPHORA COLLECTION Essential Brush - 02 Concealer

 

Also other loved brushes aside from SC

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Full-Bodied Foundation Brush 110  

Saie The Base Foundation Brush  

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Face 1.0 All Over Complexion Brush - For Foundation, Blush, Bronzer & Powder (this can handle anything and everything)

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Powder Puff Setting Brush 170  

 

For eyes, I have almond shaped eyes, these are musts

SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Crease Brush #19  

SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Shadow Brush #15
