I love this brush. I was a bit hesitant to purchase it as I had read a couple of bad reviews. Yes it does take a bit longer to apply foundation with but it gives me a perfect no streak finish. I use it with studio fix fluid foundation. I have previously used a flat foundation brush with this foundation and also need to go over it with my beauty blender to get rid of the streaks. However with the …Read more

This brush is the perfect match with the MAC pro longwear concealer! I love it!

I pretty much hate this brush. I bought it for liquid foundation application. The actual brush feels way less dense than the ones on display (I bought it at a MAC counter), it's tedious to use, and the application is borderline streaky no matter how gentle your hand is. I tried it 3 or 4 times with both runny and medium-thick liquid foundations. You can get a mediocre application with a …Read more

I bought for my daughter the mac 217 for blending and concealing and the 188 for foundation, blusher and highlighting. This 2 brushes are just perfect to start. I have 15 mac brushes and use and love all of them. But to start I would highly reccomend the 188 and 217 or 224. I think I would prefer the 224 than the 217. But both of them do a good job. I myself use the 188 everyday and I just do …Read more

It does the job but I'm sure you can find a better one. It is really annoying that it sheds...

Once again I was recommended this brush the sales assistant for my mineralize moisture foundation. This is great for spreading and evening out the foundation and leaves me with a flawless look. The brush doesn't leave mcuh streaks unless I apply miltiple layers.
On the down side, I found this brush a little difficult to use around my nose area (probably the shape and denisty of the …Read more

I literally scoured the reviews to see whether anyone else has the same problem with this brush, but I finally gave up. Just like with my 187 brush, I have trouble getting this one clean. I've tried MAC brush cleaner, Dr. Bronners peppermint soap, head & shoulders (I've heard this can be used to remove hair dye, so I thought I'd give it a try) and Beautyblender solid, and the …Read more

Let me start out by saying that this brush is reasonably good, and I do reach for it nearly every time I apply makeup. However I personally find the bristles to be just a tad too long and that can make it a bit streaky. Also, mine really lacks any kind of density and keeps shedding but I think I may have just gotten a bad brush. The 188 that I bought at the same time has a similar issue with …Read more
