    I haven't even had this brush for a week yet but I don't think I really like it. I've tried it a couple of times so far but it just feels like its harder to move across your face. I think I like...

    Meh. I've had this for over 4 years and use it only occasionally. You have to be careful to use very little foundation at a time and blend, blend, blend. Otherwise, it will look streaky. I don't ...

    This brush is great for foundation. It gives an even look and blends quite nicely into my skin. The size it nice too making it easier not to spend hours applying your face. I would not buy...

    Best brush for concealer ever! Washes well and does no shed. An amazing investment- great coverage for dabbing on spots or for the entire face. Amazing with studio finish pot concealer.

    I have had this brush for years and it's still in great shape. Forget using this with liquid/creamy foundations which leave an uneven finish. I use this for my MAC concealer (pot form) b/c it's so...

    I will have to agree with the other reviews on here about the streaks this brush leaves after applying my foundation because of that I don't use this brush anymore.

    I never use this brush. I am a liquid foundation kind of gal, yet this is never a brush that I reach for. Like many other reviewers, I find that this brush causes a streaky application, and I...

    I've had my 190 for 9 1/2 to 10 years now (shows the quality of these brushes). I still use it from time to time, but prefer the finish of a fluffy brush.

    I love this brush. I use it to apply liquid foundation and it's great when used with short strokes. It's smooth and applies the foundation really greatly. It's so much better for liquid foundation...

    I liked this brush for mineral makeup. I would dip this in and tap all the excess off to avoid the cakey-ness. But I don't like this brush for liquid foundation. I find it to be a heavier...

    this brush here is one of my favs! I love how well it blends my foundation and leaves a smooth non streaky layer of foundation. You don't need a lot of foundation with this brush since it layers it...

    I would not recommend this brush for the application of liquid or gel foundations after purchasing the M.A.C 109. As it may leave your skin streaky which isn't a good look. I have now resorted to...

    It absorbs all the foundation and just leaves streaks all over your face! The Ruby and Millie equivalent is a million times better!
