REMEMBER: THE MORE IDEAS YOU GIVE ME....THE MORE CHANCE OF YOU GETTING BEST ANSWER =)Mac cosmetics essentials?
Before i begin, i just want to say a little info but i'm sure you've got over it. Mac brushes are expensive, they are a investment but they are really good quality brushes and you could buy very cheap makeup and using mac brushes to create a amazing look.





Sorry if this is quite long, happy reading though





I'm going to state the brushes that are must haves and what they do then my opinion.





239 - the one the everyone loves, the most essential brush out of the whole eye brushes collection. This brush is AMAZING for packing all the color in your lid, this is definitely a no question ask MUST HAVE.





217 - Blending brush. Again this is another brush that everyone loves and very popular because it's knowing for it's multi-task brush. Not only does this brush blend, but you can use it as a highlight, and a crease brush love it~





219 - Pencil brush. This brush is soo good for people that loves doing precise areas like if you want to put eyeshadow on your lower lashline then definitely use the pencil brush, or if you want a hint of color in your tearduct then this brush it amazing. Or anyone that loves smokey eyes this is a must have brush because it works as a smudger, as a precise area brush etc





(239, 217, 219 are the must have brushes to start of with mac, they are very essential but if your on money tight then i would suggest you to buy the 239 and 217 cause they are the two brushes that can literally do your whole eye, so must haves!. But 219 is amazing as i said great to do precise areas and lining your lower lashline with shadow)!





--------------------------------------鈥?br>

now i'm going list some other brushes that are amazing but if your starting are these arent essential





224/222 - they are two different brushes however they look quite similar, they are both blending brushes and amazing. The 224 is more specifically for blending out your colors, most people buy the 224 for blending out whereas the 222 you can blend it as well as a making color on your crease. The 222 is an amazing brush for putting color on your crease





227 - large fluff brush - This is one of my favorite brushes EVER because it's so soft and its just amazing (i'm trying to use another word for amazing lol) i use this brush as a highlight but this brush is really amazing, if you go to a mac counter just touch the bristles and you'll love in love in it

I'm not sure if you want to know some of the mac face brushes but i might as well say it anyways. this group are the essential face brushes





129 - Blush brush - It's the best blush brush i have ever used and trust me i've used A LOT of blush brush and this is my favorite blush brush because it applies blush so well and it's very dense which can take a lot of color in it - a must have blush brush





187 - Everyone loves this brush because it's such a multi-tasker brush. This brush can use a foundation brush (most people use it as a foundation brush) to create a airbrush look which means a very natural look, it can use as a blush brush, a powder brush literally anything!





That's basically it for essential brushes but i'm going to state others





182 - Buffer brush or kabuki brush - this is literally my favorite brush out of all the face brush cause the bristles are super soft. Basically you use this brush to apply powder and buff it in your face, it's very dense so it can take a good amount of powder and blend it in your face





134 - Amazing brush for applying bronzer and powder, very expensive. I think it's the most expensive brush in all the brushes they have

Colors (eyes)





If you are going to parties, smokey look would be a good one or some other fun colors like purple, pinks etc





Smokey colors:


Satin taupe - it's a plumy brown, it's my favorite eyeshadow cause it works so well as a smokey look or a day time look





Carbon or black tied - if you want a matte black then choose carbon, but if you don't want so intense black then get black tied since black tied is like carbon but it has shimmer in it





Mulch, Woodwinked, Espresso - are all great colors for making the smokey eye look, they are browns fyi





Swish - is a pink with purple undertone, it's my favorite pink out of all the mac shadows they have just because it works so well with so many colors and AMAZING!





Sketch - it's like a dark burgundy purple color, so so pretty





Stars and rockets - It's a purple and it works so pretty with swish, love it!

Now for home gatherings - (usually you go for more neutral colors since it's a home gathering you don't want it to be so dramatic)





All that glitters - by far my favorite neutral, it's likMac cosmetics essentials?
brushes: definitely a pack on brush like the 239 or 242, and then a 217 definitely for blending in the crease, its my fav brush. but the 224 is really good also


face brushes, it kind of depends what type of foundation, makeup you use, so that's variable


blush - well dressed. it's like the number one blush





colors, you definitely need a flat black like carbon for smokey eye looks. it's also kind of hard to say what colors you want depending on your skin tone/wants/needs, but i'd probably say like woodwinked, satin taupe, shadowy lady, silverthorn...again it's hard to say, but try out some of these colors and see if you like it
