This brush is big and fluffy. The bristles are soft. It feels pretty sturdy. I was given this as a gift from a friend. I don't see anything special about it. I just use it to put powder all over my...

I love this brush. It's so fluffy and dense. It has a long, sturdy handle and it just feels luxurious using it. The bristles slightly taper and the ferrule is not completely round. It's not...

I decided to purchase this brush after I couldn't find the Stila "big and fluffy" brush ANYWHERE. Great decision! I like to "pat" rather than "buff" my product as it results in a lighter, more...

This is one of the first MAC brushes I purchased. I picked it up as I needed a decent sized brush that would be suitable for applying powder to set my foundation, and this brush is perfect for the...

I actually use this brush everyday for bronzer! Occasionally I use it to apply loose face powder but my favorite is applying bronzer. I am not contouring with this but just giving a wash of...

I love this brush, so much so that I own two! I use one with my prep and prime transparent finishing powder and I use the other to apply my bronzer. I like it because it's fluffy enough to apply...

I love how this brush applies MSF natural. It gives just the right amount without the cake. However, it sheds like a sick dog. The bristles are soft but I have felt softer and I think that's why it...

I personally wouldn't buy this brush again. It seems somewhat pointless.. Maybe it's because i have the 134. I don't know if this is just my 150 brush, but it's really scratchy. Not quite worth the...

I'm surprised that this brush is getting such low ratings! I love it! I find that it applies setting powder/bronzer perfectly and do not find the bristles scratchy at all. Mine is really soft...

I really like this brush and use it almost everyday! However I give it 4/5 because I think that MAC's 182 is better for powder and overall much softer as sometimes it can stab you in the skin...

bleh... this is a pretty average brush really. Totally not worth the $50! I don't know.. the bristles aren't very soft at all, but it's not like if they were scraching my skin either. The brush...

It's great but not all that great. I have other brushes that are definitely softer than this, but I do love the handles, it looks really sturdy and not cheap at all. I just wish that it's a little...

I love this brush to set my foundation with loose powder, it isn't the softest brush Mac has ever made, but not as scratchy as some people say. I think it is over priced though. I got no shedding...

I must say, I'm definitely awed with this powder brush from MAC. It's very soft and very easy to hold and to control. It applies loose powder evenly all throughout my face and very durable. I must...
