    Just got this brush for applying my MSF foundation and buffing! Works great! No shedding ;) However, I do wash my new brushes with baby shampoo and did experience the dye running out that other...

    For now, I'm giving the brush 4 lippies. It does feel nice and soft. It's the perfect density. It applies my mineral foundation beautifully. When I washed the brush, I did not notice any...

    What I like about this is its shape and density. Btw: mine did not shed. What I don't like about it is how scratchy it became after some washes (not too many actually - maybe 4-6). In the beginning...

    182 is just inside my drawer. I can no longer use it due to HORRIBLE shedding. The brush is very soft but it sheds A LOT. I am disappointed again with this MAC brush.

    I love using kabuki brushes for mineral makeup, powder foundations, and face powder. I was previously using the Bare Escentuals kabuki and loved it, but after 12+ years it was time for a new one. I...

    Excellent for applying bronzer to face and décolletage. Despite uber-soft bristles, ably picks up sufficient product to deliver uniform (non-streaky) results. Compact size a bonus, making it easy...

    It's very dense and picks up a lot of product ( maybe a bit too much) blends out into the skin well. It's soft but not amazingly soft. It feels itchy and makes the powder feel heavy on the skin. SO...

    Great for mineral makeup application. My only complaint is the shedding. Why does such an expensive brush sheds? The removal of goat hair on my face adds an extra step to my already long morning...

    I love this brush:) Its so soft & works great, just like every other MAC brush. The only reason I gave 4 lippies overall is because it was SO expensive. $50 made me CRINGE handing it over, but in...
