Silk Naturals - $5.99
Lumere - $16
Ulta - $26
Coastalscents.com - $??

So these are some stippling brushes i have collected over the course of a year or so. the newest one is the auraline beauty brush, which I am not too fond of. these prices are from the websites, not necessarily how much i got them for. for ulta it was free because it was buy 2 get 2 free and i ordered other brushes so it came out free. the coastalscents one is no longer on the website, they dont have the black on black but a silver one, which i cant say much about since i dont have it. I am still waiting for the MAC 187SE from the HK collection to come in, and the one from sigmamakeup.com to see how those compare to these brushes as well.

Density - you can tell from the picture with the view of the density of the white fibers on the brush that the coastalscents is the most FULL, and the others are pretty sparse.

Shedding - All shed black hair on initial and maybe even 2nd and 3rd washing, the lumere and AB had dye come out.

My favorite? Hands down the Coastalscents brush! too bad they dont sell that one anymore, im not sure about the silver handled one from CS. The most important aspect of the stippling brush to me is the amount of synthetic white fibers that are on the brush it self, and how full the black hairs are as well. On most of the stippling brushes, the white fibers are vary sparse, and you can tell from the first picture how it compares to the CS stippling brush.
