This is the only shu brush I have (so far), but I can still say that the quality is better than MAC. Not only is the weight of the brush solid in my hand, it is also more dense than mac's version...

OMG this brush rocks! It's super soft bristles give you the smoothest application ever. No streaky foundation. Just flawless looking skin. I hesitated to buy this brush because of its price, but it...

The BEST. And I have tried them all. It is not flat, so no streaking. It is rather small, which I like, and compact (hairs), unlike the Trish McEvoy new perfection foundation brush. As most,...

I do NOT like this brush. I'm not sure what it is, but everyone seems to love this brush. Foundation goes on streaky no matter which way I apply it, and I never get a natural finish. And ever...

This is the one. Like finding your other half, or eating the last piece of pie in the fridge. You will fall in LOVE with this brush. Like others have said, it's not the foundation, it's the brush!...

a great multi-tasker! I use it mainly for foundation, either cream or liquid, and it gives a smooth, even coverage all the time. It can even build layers so it's great for full coverage as well. I...

This is a very expensive brush, but it's totally worth it. It is the ONLY foundation brush I've ever tried (and I tried many) that does not streak the foundation across your face. I use it with a...

The only brush that I use EVERY day! I've been pretty lucky as this brush has only shed 3 or 4 hairs since i've used it over 50 + times, and I'm pretty rough with it. I bought this gem from the...

This brush has taught me a lot, first of all never to buy Shu brushes off eBay no matter how authentic the seller claims it to be. I got one of these off eBay first, and was incredibly taken back...

This brush was a great buy. I use it all the time now. It is smaller than I thought it would be when I bought it (online). It is a short brush, with a smaller, densely packed head. But it is also...

Wow I am so sad to be writing my first negative review of a shu product, because I am a total shu junkie. I especially love their brushes--I own a few of them and they are amazing tools that I have...

This brush has made me a convert to applying foundation with brushes. Before, I just didn't see much difference between fingers and a brush-- and I preferred fingers as most of the brushes left...

This is hands down the best foundation brush out there. I've used other versions, including Bobbi Brown's and Giorgio Armani's, and none of them even comes close to the results that this one gives....

I have tried Mac's 190, Chanel's and Armani's foundation brushes. The Shu 18 blows them all away. I have since bought the Kolinsky 12s and love that, too. I will definitely be adding to my Shu...
