I love this. I use it to apply bronzer/contour and to apply blush. I find the 129 is to big for my cheeks so this helps me get the blush were I want it. It's soft and all around perfect. I haven't...

DO NOT PURCHASE! As far as MAC brushes are concerned, I will never re-purchase a MAC brush ever again. I even chatted with one of the "reps/make-up artist" on their website and asked if it was a...

I am going to be a minority and say I HATED this brush for buffing in foundation. It made my foundation blotchy and I didn't get that flawless look that I usually get with other brushes. I was...

Wow, this buffs in foundation better than the MAC 187. I mean, the 187 still buffs in foundation but not as much as this BABY!!! It buffs it it in to flawlessness, til it almost looks like skin!...

Not my favorite brush. Does shed a little but not as much as some have told me. It is soft and brushes my finishing powder on nicely. However, I have seen other brushes at more affordable prices....

I orginally bought this for brush application, which is not what I've been using it for. I thought it was what I wanted in a blush brush, but this is incorrect. I now use it for all my contouring....

This is definitely a great brush for contouring and buffing. However, I have a face that is more petite so I much prefer the 165 for contouring. The tapered top allows me to get into the hollow...
