This was my very first MAC brush purchase and a costly one at that. Unlike others, I don't find it scratchy. It may not be the softest brush in the world, but it's definitely not scratchy. Maybe...

I use this brush mostly for bronzer and MSF. But sometimes I use it for finishing powder. This brush can get scratchy, but a little condition will help. You will need to clean it often enough to...
