You just told me that you use mostly drugstore foundation, you don't seem very into makeup at all, and you balked when I told you the foundation I put on you was $48. Now I am expected to believe that you have hundreds of dollars of brushes at home just collecting dust?
Brushes will always make my job, and your job at home, easier. They save you from wasting product, and they help smooth makeup beautifully onto the skin, so that you will be happy with the results. Often women do not want to invest in expensive brushes, so they lie and claim to have them somewhere at home.
A better way of handling this is by admitting that you do not want to make the investment into brushes, so that your artist can teach you how to apply foundation with sponges or make suggestions for less expensive brushes that might help you. Otherwise you will go home and be stuck with a bunch of makeup with no way of applying it!
