I bought this brush after not having good color payoff from some of the MAC Sheertone blushes with my 187. The 116 brush is made from animal hair dyed black, shaped into a somewhat flattened (just...

Very pleased with this blush brush, like all MAC full size brushes it's wonderfully soft and fluffy. I bought this to use for my darker shades of blush since the very popular 129 is a tad too big...

I've been looking for a good brush to use with my sheer, pale powder blushes. I normally use a MAC #187 for normally- and highly-pigmented blushes, but that one doesn't work well with very sheer...

I've had this brush for a good 15 years. It's never lost form or shape, no shedding, and it picks up color and distributes it very nicely. I marked "yes" for buying this product again, but in...

I love using this for blush, highlighting, and (gasp) contouring. It's flat and small so it applies to the apples of my cheeks great. The 116 also picks up color nicely. It blends well too. If you...

My first blush brush was 129 which the MUA picked for me. I used it for about a year but I felt it's too big for my face. Then I found the 116 and I like it a lot more for precise application, and...

I absolutely love this brush. It gives the perfect controlled application of blush. I highly recommend it. Update: 3/1/08: Had to change my review because this brush sheds. Every time I use it a...

I was pleased to find this brush because, although I consider it expensive at £21, it was less than half the price of some other blusher brushes I looked at! But maybe economy doesn't pay in this...

I "borrowed" this one from my mom a while back, and I consider it mine now. =) I already had the 129 blush/powder brush, and I thought that one was the HG blush brush. However, I had a makeup...

I recently purchased this brush for the purpose of having more control in blush application. I already had the #129, but needed something that was more densely packed. With my makeup brushes, I...

This brush is awesome for blush! I've used big fluffy brushes, which give me a nice light application, but are just too big for my face. 116 is a small brush, and gives me the control I need when...

I have the larger one and I just bought this three days ago. Its soft and very easy to use. It picks up colour well and gives my cheeks a very natural blush. I like that its smaller so I can...

Thought that because of the name I would love this brush. I didn't. Hairs were ALWAYS all over my face, and it wasn't that soft. bummer.

I absolutely adore this brush. I've had the 129 for years and was ok with it, but I really wanted something smaller to concentrate the blush on my cheekbones. This is the brush for that. I'm a...

I like this blush brush over #129 which is too big for my face, I like to use it when applying sheertone blushes, it applies it evenly and smoothly. With highly pigmented blushes I use MAC #187....

I favour this blusher brush over one that is more fluffy because I have more control over where I want my blusher to go. Initially I found the hairs were not as soft as previous brushes but then I...
