When I got my first MAC brush set, which is the Heirlooms set, the first thing I thought of when I saw them is that they looked a lot like the Essence of Beauty face brushes that I have. So are EoB brushes dupes of MAC? Let me show you the pics to compare. May I remind you that the MAC brushes I have are SEs, not FS so they are smaller than the FS brushes.
Here is a look at my MAC 168SE (left) vs. the EoB blush brush (right):
Here is a look at my MAC 168SE (left) vs. the EoB blush brush (right):
The MAC is of course, smaller because it's not an FS brush, but they look very similar right?
Here is a look at my MAC 190SE (left) vs. EoB foundation brush(right):
Aside from the size difference, the EoB foundation brush is more pointed.
Here is the MAC 194SE (left) vs. EoB concealer brush (right):
My EoB is unwashed so it has a lot of residue but without it, it looks pretty similar to the 168SE. The EoB concealer brush is wider, though.
They look really similar don't they?

yeah...they really do look alike..
i heard the Essence of Beauty got good brushes.
it goes to show that there are a lot of brushes out there.
I think that's the main reason why i haven't had a single MAC brush yet... XD
I have been checking ebay for these but I don't think anyone's selling it these days. You're lucky you have a ton of these wonderful brushes.
wow..more wonderful NON - MAC brushes? aaaayy
thiamere, yes the EoB brushes. I don't have any FS brushes. the heirlooms set is all i have because i got it at a low price.
tish, i found these on ebay! hopefully, someone will sell these again sometime.
nikki, these are good brushes. i'm not sure about it being MAC quality though. i'm not a brush expert.
Crystal, the angled blush brush is the 168. 194 yung concealer. Nabaligtad mu yata
hi anonymous, yes, nabaliktad ko nga. lol! although i noticed it right before reading your post. i edited it already. thanks for the reminder though!
MAC brush dupes:
Ooo they do look similar!
Kanebo:
Do you guys have Kate (drugstore Kanebo line)? Kanebo is slightly more expensive here, Blanchir is a drugstore line in Japan but they are selling it over the counter here >_<
Coastal Scents:
I know what you mean about the shipping! It's more expensive than a few of the products combined, but I couldn't resist the allure anymore hahaha. If I do get wind of a free shipping code or something, I'll be sure to pass it to you ^^
i have some EOB brushes and i think they are pretty good for he price
mac brushes...its a love hate relationship for me, i got a few too but some are very good and some not so much XD
blair, i'll message you about this.
yumeko, i heard that not all MAC brushes are nice too.
hello! :p
where did you purchase essence of beauty brushes? omg I am super intrigued how do blog people find so pretty brushes XD
gia, i found these from ebay. they're not available locally though. just be on the lookout maybe someone will sell them again :P
I have a few EoB eyeshadow brushes I got from a friend in the US. I'm not sure if they're dupes too although EoB is the save version of POSH brushes which I think is made by the same company.
I love EOB brushes. They're Posh brushes without the red handles. Good thing I have a CVS drugstore right by our home. My faves are the two detail/crease brushes that are softer versions of the MAC 219.
nikki, lucky you to have some e/s brushes. i want to try them too.
aileen, i probably won't be able to get those until i go to the US.
