So, if you have the money to splurge, I don't think you'll be disappointed by the Tom Ford brushes one bit! They're soft, dense, and precise. I definitely recommend the Cheek and Cream Foundation brushes, and if you want softer brushes for the delicate eye area, you can't go wrong with his Eyeshadow, Contour, and Blend brushes. For those on a budget, I still think MAC brushes are very functional and still some of my go to brushes - esp. the MAC 224.
