Make up brushes all serve the same purpose. Whether they are expensive or cheap they will do the job intended and do it well. What most people don't know is that they also need to be cared for. Make up brushes need to be cleaned with warm water and soap, rinsed thoroughly, shaken to remove most of the water and allowed to dry with the bristles up. No matter what brushes you purchase they will last longer and continue to do what they were intended to do. Be beautiful!

Very happy to help you out. Eventually you will find new products and accessories as time goes by. My makeup box is full and not all from the same line either. Some expensive, some middle of the road and others are very inexpensive. In time you will find just what is right for you. As for recipes and choices for your 2 year old there are some things that I would need to know. What he/she likes, doesn't like, is allergic to or what you feel they shouldn't eat. We can talk about this through the private message so we don't violate any rules. Being new I am not up on all the requirement just yet. Still reading through all the lists. Plus, what you may say about their eating habits and such may not be for everyone's ears. Will try and help you and try to make eating easier for both you and your child. I have been down this road before for many years and understand your concern very well.

I am currently using bundle beauty's brush set. I got it on amazon and it is about 18 dollars. It has already like 12 or more brushes. I can't remember the actual number since I use the other brushes rarely. I think it's a deal already! It is cheaper than the brushes I see in malls. Happy mylotting!

I was like you half a year ago, looking for cheap makeup brushes that works as good as the expensive ones. Of course, we don't want to spend much on makeup brushes when we're just starting our makeup collection. I recommend the makeup brushes from Forever21, they're durable and made in good quality. I bought mine just last year. I wash them every week ever since I purchased them, but with all the washing, they had never shed even just one strand. The quality is nice! Doesn't shed its strands even with frequent washing. And they come in cute girly designs! My brushes are all pink but their handles are colored blue green with rose prints. It look cute and my friend envy me for it.

The best makeup brushes that are affordable are from Ecotools, Sonia Kashuk, Everyday minerals, and Real Techniques. Usually each brush is only 5-10 dollars.
