MAC Brush "Dupes"

Do you just shell out the big bucks for expensive brushes or do you opt for the less expensive duplicates aka dupes?

I’m currently looking for a duplicate for the pencil brush (i.e. MAC 219).
What’s available?

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

Less expensive brands. But only because I'm not that into makeup.

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

I think the Sigma E30 pencil brush works as a dupe for the MAC 219 brush. I have both and they give more or less the same results.

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

yeah...I found that one....but I'm looking for an artist's equivalent.....you know like the ones you can find at art supply stores....

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

I have a brush set I got from eBay ages ago which has lots of different brushes. Interms of expensive ones I only have a few from MAC which I use ( 5-6).

I was gonna suggest sigma but sonia kashuk one is pretty good too.

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

i have few brushes from mac...coastal scents..sonia kashkuk..real techniques and sephora... i m extremely happy with my sephora collection of brushes...and mostly prefer those over mac bruhses... the only mac brushes i use often is the fluffy blending brush and angled brush for gel eye linear..

never tried art supply brushes..

Re: MAC Brush "Dupes"

I think Sigma would have some dupes.

Senhora has seriously upped their game with their brushes. I was shocked at the quality and some of them have become my go to brushes.
