I got it in a kit and didn't like it at all. Guess it's only good for contouring, wich I never do. I rarely use it.

I only have two Mac brushes so far, the 187 and this one but I think the addiction has already hit me. It's like crack for cosmetics! These brushes are well made, little to no shedding problems and...

The #168 is a lovely soft brush. Perfect for contouring!! Works well for blush and for highlighting. It is definitely worth the price IMO. With some TLC, this brush should last for a long time....

I debated between this and a few other blush brushes, but this one reigns supreme. I love the 168! It is so soft and applies color nicely.

I use this for contouring and highlighting. It's pretty perfect. However, I feel like I need to clean it all the time. Maybe it's the white hair... but it gets dirty very quickly.

I bought this to contour..obviously. I was happy at first because I was comparing it to the fact that I had nothing at all to help contour. But then I realized that I paid 32 dollars for something...

I have the 168 se that came in one of the MAC brush sets. It works pretty well for applying blush. It's firm yet soft. No complaints about this one.
