I love to use this brush for my MUFE Full cover concealer. Its much better than flat concealer brushes because it will evenly distribute product and blend it without packing on too much product. ...

I always heard so much about using the 187 brush for foundation and how amazing it is. When I finally checked it out in person I remember thinking...wait a minute, that's what I use for my...

I use this brush for liquid foundation, but I was told it also works for powder-multi tasking ability is always a bonus! I was recommended this over 187 because to do foundation with 187 meant you...

This brush is not a must-have in my opinion, but it's definitely a great one to have around! I prefer to use the 188 for pigmented blushes over the 187. They are basically the same brush, only the...

My MAC MUA was being the sweetest thing ever. I use Studio Fix Fluid regularly, and I was asking her which brush she would recommend for it. I was leaning heavily towards the MAC 190, but she...

Previously, I used the flat foundation brush. Now I know what I've been missing out on! The 188 brush is awesome. My make up looks flawless. The brush is well made. It doesn't shed and the bristles...

I love my 188 brush! I have both the 187 and 188, I use my 187 for foundation and my 188 for blush. At first I didn't even know this brush existed, because the 187 got so much attention on MUA and...

I am very fair and used to avoid blush because I always got "clown cheeks." For a while, I was even using a pink highlighter as my "blush." I absolutely needed a brush of this type. Now, I can...

This brush is the mini version of the #187. It is about half the size, and not quite as dense. While I prefer the #187 for applying blush, some people like this one because it offers more precise...

The last time I wore Peachtwist blush, my DH asked who pimp-slapped me. Today I applied it with my new 188 and just used powder, liner, and mascara. I was on my way out to get coffee and he asked...

I like the smaller skunk brush more than the #187, which I only use for powder (I don't use foundations). The smaller #188 is nice for applying blush like the Bobbi Brown pot rouges. Very pricey,...

I fell in love with my #187, I use it every single day, so the #188 was an obvious next purchase for me. It is a duo-fiber brush; the black hairs are goat, the white synthetic. It’s about one...

Being a huge fan of the 187 Skunk brush I decided to buy the 188 for blush, bronzer and highlighter and I love it. Yes, it's pricey but it makes applications fool prove, blends all my Bobbi Brown...

After great success with the 187 for creme foundation, I bought the 188 for blush (187 was too large for blush...in my hands anyway). I use GA creme blush, which is fairly dry and "picks up"...

Much smaller version of the 187. I only use this for MSFs and highlighters (pigments on cheeks and such) and it works well for that. I find it a bit too small for regular blush application (unless...

This is way smaller than the 187! But I love it! It works perfectly for highlighting! It is about 1/3 the size of the 187. It's soft and washes up like a dream. I am not sure I need more than one...

Being thrilled with the #187 stipple brush, I started thinking about buying another 187 just for blush, as I didn't want to get pink blush on the brush I use for foundation. And the 187 gives such...
