MAC Brushes Dupes

If you’re just getting into makeup and don't want to break the bank on brand name brushes.  Paint brushes are very similar to makeup brushes and the majority of them are sold at affordable prices. 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 that I’ve compiled:
