The 190 is a basic foundation brush. Honestly, if you are going to opt for a brush like this, you can find a cheaper alternative like the sigma 190. Since buying my MAC 190 6 yeras ago, I no...

This was my 1st MAC brush and if it wasn't for this brush I would not have given studio tech a 2nd chance. This brush is really awesome when it comes to applying creme type of foundations/products....

While this isn't a horrible brush, it simply isn't worth the price in my opinion. I don't use mine much because the application takes a little more time than when I use my 187(LOVE). I regret...

I like this brush a lot, the quality is great, I've had the brush for probably 7 or 8 years and it's in perfect condition. I do find that it can leave liquid foundation streaky but I very rarely...

I like this brush...It's soft and makes my foundation look very professional. I would say that the Cinique brush is a tad bit better...it lasts longer! The only real negative to the MAC brush is...

I've tried so many brushes for foundation/concealer but this is seriously my HG. It doesn't absorb the product into its bristles, but instead spreads it so evenly. Not to mention its so soft! ...

I love this for applying my foundation. I bought the 187 as well because everyone said it is great for applying foundation, but I prefer the 190 over the 187.
