    This one of my first MAC brushes, and I am thoroughly disappointed. In expected that the hefty price tag and brand name would mean superior performance, but not in this case! I have had better luck...

    The Mac 150 was the first makeup brush I ever bought. I used to hate this brush- It would shed like crazy every time it touched my face. Now I have learned to wash it and condition it with regular...

    I have had this brush for years. I don't find it at all scratchy like some other reviewers have noted, nor does it shed, but it's just not the most versatile brush. It is definitely good for...

    Wow, I can't believe MAC would put out a product this bad -- as others have noted, this brush sheds like crazy, leaving black hairs all over my face. What a waste of money.

    I've had this brush for over 5 years now and keep going back to in hope that it has somehow miraculously changed how shoddy it actually is for a MAC brush. Constant shedding and scratchy feeling,...

    This is the only MAC brush that I find scratchy. And I have a ton of them! I purchased it at Macy's for $42.00, not incl shipping. I would say that I am spoiled being I also own the 187 (everyone...

    I am disappointed by the quality of this brush. In general, this brush is not good quality. Hairs shed off the brush and I end up having to pick off the shedded hair from my face as I'm powdering....
