    I bought this brush at CCO so thankfully I didn't pay full price ($42) for it. I expected it to be soft like MAC's 129 but larger. Unfortunately, it is not. It is larger than the 129 and is a...

    I was very disappointed with this brush. I picked it up because I was very happy with the shape and when a SA applied my foundation in the store it worked wonderfully. Although I am pleased with...

    I prefer this brush to the 187 when applying my pressed powder foundation. I didn't like the flat end of the 187, and with this brush, I can actually see how much product is on my brush. Also, the...

    I am surprised by the bad reviews for this brush. I have had this brush FOREVER and use it frequently (though I do give it a rest every so often) and I absolutely love it. It is my HG face brush...

    When I first wrote this review in November 2008, I gave the MAC 150 a thrashing: Firstly, it was rather expensive (40euros). Secondly, it kept shedding, and for 6 months straight, I used it...

    Ohh I'm so suprised at the low rating!!. I love my 150 powder brush. I find this brush to be extremely soft with no shedding problems. I always reach for this brush for my blot powder and bronzers....

    Jesus Chriminy! Everytime I look up a MAC product on here people are too negative. Your expectations are too high. Its a make up brush for freaking sakes. All powder brushes are a little bit rough....

    Scratchy, expensive, waste of money. UPDATE: After washing it twice the bristles have become VERY soft and quite floppy, and have fluffed out so that it doesn't pick up so much powder. I am upping...

    I call this the crazy brush - because it sheds like crazy. The shedding part is extremely annoying. Other than that, it isn't soft and pokes my skin. This brush is relatively expensive and does not...

    I really don't know why everyone that reviews this brush says it sheds so much. My 150 is amazing! Even after washing, it doesn't shed. My powder looks a THOUSAND times better when I use this brush...

    This expensive brush is a major disappointment. The fibers must be synthetic which makes the price unjustifiable. After each wash, it's starting to look more and more ate up. My mother suggested...

    This is a great brush, don't really see why there are so many negative reviews on it. It does its job well, and is great for touching up those traditionally hard to touch up places like the nose. ...

    I bought this thinking it would be a perfect brush for all-over powder application. Wrong! It was fine for the first few uses, but the longer I've used it, the worse it gets. It sheds like crazy...
