I purchased the ones Sue (gregzgurl) mentioned from Amazon. I love and use them all the time.

I bought the Yoseng brushes mentioned by gregzgurl, and they work great. It hand to have all the different sizes for working in different detail areas.
Then I sprang for the Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes because of their colored handles; all of those brushes are the same size. TE Blender Brushes
Although I doubt I really need both sets, I like having the various sizes as well as the single-color ones for when I'm in production-line mode.
I saw some recently at Dollar Tree, where everything is one dollar. I didn't purchase them, so can't tell you about the quality. I have a set I purchased inexpensively on Amazon.

I saw those on TE but I have too many other things on my wish list to spend $40 on them!
Check your local Walmart. I saw some a week ago displayed at the end aisle of makeup.
When I purchased some there a few months back, they were not in the makeup section, they were on an aisle of what I call Strange Products...it’s a Long aisle that separates a series of checkstands at our store. It has stuff you see advertised on tv, local college sports trinkets and other eye catching weird items.
Anyway, the package contains 4 brushes, as I recall, and was under $5.
Before finding these, I purchased a larger set of the Yoseng (sp?) brushes on Amazon.
The brushes work great, I’ve had zero shedding of bristles from these cheapies and they clean up easily when wiped with a baby wipe or microfiber towel.
I too bought a set on Amazon. Search for either 'Professional Make Up Brushes', or what seems to be the newer term, ' Toothbrush Style Make Up brushes'.
I used mine last week to make these backgrounds through a stencil.
You don't ned to get lots of these brushes, to swap between colours, just scrub the brush off on a microfibre cloth.
The yellow was done after the purples, as you see, no ink contamination. I would warn though, and I'm pretty sure this will apply to the expensive 'craft' ones too, the neck of the brushes is quite thin, so when you want to apply ant pressure, either to darken your inking, or to clean of, hold either the actual brush part, or very close the head.
I found mine in the store 5 Below actually. TJ Maxx/Marshalls has them as well. I bought one of the expensive ones from a craft website to test against the cheap ones I bought - identical results.
They also have this set at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if you want a set with the different colored handles. Not quite as many brushes as the TE set, but considerably less $$. I like the white bristles - it's easy to see what color ink might still be on them
I bought the ones cbet just mentioned. With the different colored handles it's easy to use one brush for that color family. Of course, those of you who know me, can guess that I haven't actually USED them yet. lol I was so happily surprised when I got them. For some reason I thought they were foam. (They were so cheap I didn't mind.) DD had to show me they were actually brushes. smh In my defense, it was really late at night when I read the thread that talked about them and ordered them. haha
