    I love the 168 for applying blush. This gives me precise application of color and picks up the right amount of pigment. Gives a very natural look. The bristles are lovely and soft. I have had this...

    I use 168 mainly for cream blush. It blends cream blush very nicely so I get natural flush instead of looking like I put too much blush on. This brush makes applying blush so easy. Bristles are...

    I wrote MAC make-up artist an email asking for advice which MAC brush I should get for contouring my face but can also be used for blush. She recommended MAC brush #168 and she even told me to use...

    This was a spontaneous purchase for me, but I had just bought NARS blush in Angelika and wanted the application of this VERY pigmented blush to be precise. I have a tiny face so this brush does...

    I got this MAC brush because I wanted to try out an angled brush and also because I was so impressed with my 117 blending brush. The shape of the brush is excellent; it has the softness of the 117...

    I do like this blush when I need more color on my cheeks. However, if I want a lighter and more natural look I use the 129. The bristles on the 168 are baby ass soft. :)

    This is a terrific brush for contouring, highlighting, and applying blush. The head is compact, the white goat fibres are super-soft but dense, and the angle is fluid and natural for sweeping...

    I'd have to agree with the previous comment on this brush. I tried it several times and I still couldn't get the even application of my blush off of it. So now when doing contouring, I use #116...

    I bought this brush for contouring the cheekbones, and paired it with a Mac blush. I don't know which it was, but the blush just would not apply smoothly. I felt like some areas were darker...

    Best brush for applying MAC Cheekhues. In general, the white goat hair brushes are awesome for liquids and creams.

    The bristles are very soft, which is a good thing because I hate brushes that scratch my face. But the brush picks up far too much pigment and I have to blot off nearly all the pigment with a...

    This brush is my favorite for applying blushes. It has much more control and precision than the 129, and picks up just the right amount of pigment. It's not huge and fluffy either, which I like.

    This product is absolute wonders, the feeling of the goat hair is super soft. I use this with my MAC Refined Gold bronzer, and it disperses the right amount of color and such. MAC brushes all have...

    I'm not sure about this brush. I bought it at the same time as my Bobbi Brown kabuki, which is the best brush I've ever owned, and so this one I never really got into. It just doesn't apply like...

    **WOW**. I wasn't going to get this brush because I had something similar from Nars. The Nars brush is smaller but also angled, so I thought it woudl be similar. I also find the big fluffy...

    This brush is wonderful. I don't use it for blush (I have a round face and the 129 works much better), but this brush works great for contouring and highlighting. The color is deposited...
