    Beautiful brush especially after wash. I threw my old real Techniques Brushes and I kept this beautiful brush in my bag to use it tomorrow for blush, powder and contour. I have the natural bristles...

    I like short handled brushes for blush with approximately this kind of density (Not too dense). I think short handled brushes give you more control and are more practical for storage. But, I barely...

    I used to think this was such a great brush, small enough to bring in my purse, soft, good quality... Until I found that there are so many better brushes available out there. This is by no means...

    I've had this brush for almost 8 years. It was my first MAC brush purchase (along with the 190 foundation brush and a stick foundation). It came in a very cute "limited edition" clear pouch that...

    I purchased the short handle at my local CCO and was supper excited to get this at a discounted price. I will agree this brush did shed for maybe the first 2 months with regular spot cleaning and...

    Spent $35 before tax on this at the San Francisco PRO shop upon recommendation from the MA. I am returning it tomorrow for two reasons: 1) like all the comments note it sheds quite a bit and this...

    Shed alert. It's super annoying. You have to pick it off your face almost each time you use it. I wasn't aware of this at first so would walk around with big fibres on my face. Super annoying. This...

    I went to buy the regular 129 brush but they only had the short handled and know I am glad i have this one because it comes with a little case so you can carry it around safely. Overall it is a...

    Wow does this thing shed. I don't understand how it still has bristles left. I use this to powder my face to set my foundation and I have used it for blush. It is a good brush but I can't stand all...

    The brush sheds like crazy, and doesn't distribute the product so well. Also, the short handle is not as comfortable as one might think. Out of all of MAC brushes in my possession, this one is the...

    I have this brush since forever (more than 10 years). It has been shedding a lot. I've never seen a brush shedding this much. The strange thing is it looks as if new. If it was a cheap brush, I...

    I'm not quite sure whether the 129 SH brush is the same thing as the 129 Power/Blush Brush, but I'm going to review the 129 Powder/Blush Brush. Whenever someone asks me what are my top brush...

    I use this to apply MSF Natural and to sweep Blot Powder. What I noticed is that after days of using it from a deep clean with conditioner, it is becoming a bit scratchy although it doesn't shed...

    Dont get me wrong. I use this brush daily. Unfortunately it is rough on my skin. Even my ecotools blush brush is softer on me. It's good for your bag when you need all the extra space, but...

    Love this. I use it daily to sweep my blush on then I swirl it just a bit to blend and love the look I get. It's super soft and never sheds. It's also good for powder and bronzer.

    I love this brush as an all-rounder I can use for any powder product when I am out all day and don't want to tote around 3-4 different brushes. I can use it for powder, blush or bronzer and it fits...

    I like the result this brush delivers, but I hate that every time I use it, it leaves behind a monstrous black bristle or two on my face. It's also not very soft. I wouldn't repurchase, but I'll...
