While I love the MAC eye brushes - the 217 and 239 being IMHO truly staples for any makeup lover's kit - I have found that some of their face brushes didn't really worth the money, especially for...

I was hoping for a great brush too, just like everyone else here, and found that while this brush is pretty to look at, it just does not live up to my expectations. I originally loved it when I...

Should have read the reviews before making a purchase. Super expensive, sheds, and the bristles are pretty scratchy. I expected more from mac. Ive used much cheaper brushes that were waaaay softer...

I did not like this brush! As per other reviewers, the bristles come out all the time - on your face when your applying powder! To boot the head of my brush completely came off. Terrible brush for...

This is a good brush that might be worth $20 tops. It sheds like crazy and the handle is too long for travel and application control. I prefer Smashbox or Japonesque brushes which are more...

I wanted this brush because I saw Erin from Scandalous Beauty used to apply blush and I had to have it. I have 1 other MAC brush from ACW so this was a big deal for me. So I went to Bloomingdales...

This brush is the second one I've bought from MAC, and let me just say: MAC, if this is the kind of quality that you stand by, you reeeally need to eliminate your brushes all together. Or...
