Dupes for MAC Brushes!

Makeup brushes are great to have, yet not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford ones that professionals use.  Especially if you're just getting into makeup why would you want to spend a ton of money on something you don't really know much about?  Paint brushes are very similar to makeup brushes and the majority of them are sold at affordable prices (especially if you get them at craft stores that have coupons!).  Don't get me wrong there are great makeup brushes that aren't that expensive (E.L.F. and Sonia Kashuk to name a couple), but some paint brushes out there are of MAC quality.

The following is a list of dupes (duplicates) that I've compiled:

If you're at the craft store and notice brushes that are quite similar to the Loew-Cornell and are cheaper than you can certainly get those instead.  I hope this list helps!
