Watched gossmakeupartist on YouTube to find this could be used for blending concealer in the undereye area. I tried it, and it worked well! Though it is quite pricey - I recommend you find it at a...

I've owned my 187 for probably 3 years now. While I do love it, I kind of got sick of using it every single day and wondered if I could get better foundation results with a different brush. For a...

After watching a video by gossmakeupartist on youtube showing how to apply your concealer with the 188, I went out to get mine. I've always have genetic undereye circles, and never really master...

I really like using this product for applying a shimmer highlight on my cheek bones. It only puts out a sparing amount, so it isn't overpowering. It's also good for applying foundation and the...

I've had the 187 for almost a year now but always contemplated buying the 188 also. I got it the other day and am pretty happy with my purchase. Getting the worst thing out the way first - the...

I haven't been giving this little brush the due it deserves. It's great for stippling on foundation for a more sheer finish. It's wonderful for cream or gel blushes. I have to use it more. I...

I like the 188...I just don't love it as much as the 187. I like my blush to make me look like I'm glowing, which the 187 does. The 188 to me seems much better for a well-defined blush placement,...

Perfect for blending my foundation or tinted moisturizer in between my eyes, around my nose area, and right above my eyebrows. Also great for very pigmented blushes.

I have both the MAC 187 & 188. Unlike many people I am not in love with my MAC 187 brush! It's a bit too big for certain applications. Which is why I bought the MAC 188. I love using this with the...

I've been using my fingers to apply MUFE Mat Velvet + and the result was relatively good. Initially, I thought using a stipple brush was a redundant step. But after reading so many reviews online...

I LOVE this brush. I don't know how I lived without it. It creates such a natural and yet airbrushed look and is small enough to get into the "creases" by my nose and eyes. Absolutely wonderful....

I bought this because the I think stippling is the best way to apply liquid foundation. I use my Sonia Kashuk 187 dupe to do the majority of my face, but places around my nose, eyes, and forehead...
