    MY Holy Grail for Buffer Brushes!! It's so soft and it gives you the perfect coverage:) It's kinda pricey though but it's worth it. It can last you a lifetime if you take care of it properly :)

    The MAC 182 is my all time favorite face brush. However, it only gets 4 lippies because the first 2-3 times I washed it...it bled black and the inky smell in the brush was overwhelming. I was so...

    This brush is great! I use it to apply my MSFN as well as to blend bronzer and blush. This brush is a must for any makeup collection. The only problem is that it sheds a little bit which is very...

    sigh.. I had such high expectations for this brush. When I bought it I did not immediately use it and as a normal practice, I wash all my brushes before use. When I washed my 182, it lost a lot...

    I LOVE MY 182 KABUKI BRUSH!! MAC is well known for those deliciously soft brushes and this is one of their softest by far. Out of my collection of brushes, this is in my top 3 most used. It's great...

    I really love this brush. It's super soft and it seems like it gets softer as you use/wash it. I was it gently with johnson&johnson baby shampoo and it fluffs right back up again which is great. I...

    This is one of my fave make up brushes. I love the way it's so incredibly soft, and nice and dense to buff in my face powder nicely. I use it mostly for applying face powder to set my make up, but...

    Ok, first of all, this brush is INSANELY expensive. $42 for a brush made my head swirl for a few minutes. After I regained consciousness at the MAC counter, I decided to purchase it anyway (I knew...

    Oh how I love this little brush! Big and poofy - it's great for blush! Benefit also has a cute little brush that is similar. I never noticed a bad smell or shedding from the brush! haha

    I love the 182. Mine is about 5 years old, and it still works great. The numbers are still on it and still looks new. It's a really good buffer brush. I use it with my studio fix and other powders....
