    I love this brush! After searching for the perfect blush brush I have found it. It's the perfect size for applying blush on the apple of the cheeks. It's soft and feels great on my face. I am...

    This is the best brush for blush! I've bought many other blush brushes from dept stores and sephora, but always come back to this one! I have the short-handled one that is sold individually for...

    I have owned both the SH and SE version of this brush. I swapped away my 129SE and purchased the 187 stippling, which I was disappointed in, so I swapped that away and purchased the 129SH. The main...

    Not exactly the brush I was hoping for. The first few times using, it shed like a cat. The bristles aren't particularly soft and the curve of the top makes it seem as if all of the color is being...

    I like this brush coz it's small and comes with a pouch so you can bring it with you all the time. This is my first pro makeup powder/blush brush so I really can't compare much, but compared to the...

    This is a very good brush, I proudly tote it everywhere I go and use it for blush application every single morning and the occasional powder touchup. It is not as soft as my Body Shop face brush,...

    WOW! This is expensive... It worked just fine in the beginning, then I applied blush from the cheek and up into the hairline. Recently I've begun to concentrate a little more on my blush...

    I love the other MAC brushes that I use (foundation, angle, eye shadow blending and applicator brushes), but was surprised to find that this one sheds so terribly. For this reason, I would not buy...

    Love this brush - works really well with powder foundation, blush, and bronzer. Have had it for two years and it is like new. Love the fact that it is a manageable size and comes with the travel...

    I received this brush in one of the Holiday 2004 brush sets and thought that given the price, these would be of very high quality. Not so. My measure of a quality brush is simple: does it shed,...

    This was one of my first brushes. I was pretty impressed, to this day, it's still one of my best brushes. I still perfer #168 for blush though.

    Mine's the 129SE from the tailormade brush set. I'm very impressed with how effectively this brush picks up colour, no effort at all, and it deposits colour very nicely (in an idiot-proof way) onto...

    Cute, compact and does the job. My only complaint is that sometimes it prickles a little, but not enough for me to go out to buy another brush to replace this one. ***Edit 16OCT05: It often sheds...

    I just got this and so far I'm very impressed -- it's very soft and makes blending super easy. It picks up a lot of color, so I have to use a light hand for a natural look (which I prefer). No...
