The foundation brush was painfully scratchy. The duo fibre has a much smaller head than the original and it flops all over the place. No control. The concealer brush is a different shape and...

edit: okay, i take it back... The 168 sucks. I actually laughed at one reviewer who said it took the foundation right off her face. Well... I was applying an extremely pigmented blush today and...

Basically, the quality of the MAC brush sets are always different from the full sized-regular priced MAC brushes. Most of the brushes that come with the sets are made in China(poor quality) and the...

The worst purchase of 2008. And I bought it before the sets were on sale. Cheap material, bad quality, horrible sparse and scratchy hair... If I could see them at a store I would never even think...

I bought this brush set around Christmas at Nordstroms because they had it for $35. It comes with the 187, 190, 168 and the concealer brush ( I forgot the number). I think it was worth the money....

I bought this when I got the tip Nordstrom was selling these for $35 before the Christmas holidays. My real reason in buying this was to get the 187 brush, the other stuff was just a bonus. Plus...

The brushes in this set are the SE versions (meaning machine mass-produced, and not hand-made like the full versions), so expect it to be a little scratchier. However, for the price, it's a pretty...

I got this set as I was attracted to the short & stubby handles, especially the 187SE (skunk brush). The first thing to do is shampoo all of them for sanitary & removal of loose hair. The 187SE...
