I know this brush was intended for the MSF naturals, but I like it best with my liquid foundation. It's like a bigger, fluffier version of the 190, which imo makes it perfect for liquid foundation,...

I purchased this brush at a CCO recently - and love it. At first I was perplexed about what to use it for. I use it for applying liquid foundation and like its application much more than my Mac 190...

This is the best liquid foundation brush ever! Beats the 109/187/188 anyday. I am beyond pleased with this brush, no shedding at all. I do think it was a bit spendy, but all mac brushes are. This...

Perfect for powder or skincare products, great for liquid or cream foundation. A bit too stiff at first, but after washing it a few times, it feels softer.

This brush replaced the 190 as my tool for applying Select Moistureblend SPF 15 foundation. It leaves no streaks and builds coverage better. I find I use less concealer or Full Coverage foundation,...

On the website, it's described to be used mainly with the Mineralize series (it came out earlier with a collection), and it does put on mineralize skinfinish natural very nicely: it picks up powder...

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this brush. This brush is amazing in how it applies pressed powders and Mineralize Skinfinish naturals. It feels just like a powder brush, but in a...

This brush is part of the New View Collection and retails for $40. It looks like a bigger version of the MAC 190 brush and has a flat head with smooth, synthetic bristles. If you are familiar...

The syntehtic 189 brush came out with the New View collection. It's somewhere between a powder and foundation brush. The feeling isn't "soft", but more like smooth. It can apply all powders,...
