These are the brushes that always seem to find their way into the weekly wash and tend to be my most used. I did a brush post several months back (read post here), but a few things have changed since then, hence, new post. My washing routine is pretty simple. Swooshing the wet brush around in a glop of baby shampoo before rinsing. Every couple of weeks, I'll condition the bristles to make them softer. I'm not going to talk about every one of these brushes because it would be a ridiculously long post, even by my standards. But I'll point out a few standouts. 

Let's start with the smaller brushes, they tend to be the ones I start from because they're usually easier than foundation brushes to wash out. I never realized how many brushes came near my eye until I started listing them one by one. First off, the MAC 217 shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Basically, it's the perfect eye brush. It's also a really easy brush to wash, I initially thought it would be an absolute pain since it had white bristles. But nope, still good as new. The MAC 231 and Sigma E30 are the weapons of lower lash line shadow application, depending on if I want a more harsh line or a more smudgy Olsen-esque look. The most recent edition to the eye brushes is The Body Shop Eyeshadow Blender. I would always pet the brushes in The Body Shop every time I went in but never bought one for some weird reason. But a couple weeks back, I finally finished petting all the other brushes and bought the Eyeshadow Blender (why do I make it sound like I was adopting a puppy?). Despite the name, I don't actually use this brush to blend out my eyeshadow as it's a very stiff brush. I like to use this in alternate of the MAC 217 when I want a more concentrated eyeshadow application. It can also be used for crease action, but always followed up with a proper blending with the MAC 224.
