This is my HG blush brush. I've had it quiet a few years and it's still going strong. I tried the MAC 129 but it was a little on the big side for me. This one is smaller and paddle shaped. I...

My favorite blush brush! If you want concentrated, precise application of blush, this is it. It is great at picking up pigment and product. If you want more of a wash of color, this might not be...

Blush brushes are tricky. They can come overwhelming large or too small. I think getting one that fits your checks size perfectly (slightly smaller than it) works well and gives perfect control. I...

I have a small face and bought and returned this several times over the years, I felt it didn't have enough movement in the bristles and was too defined in its application. So I've used big fluffy...

I bought this brush over three years ago and it's still SHEDDING! It probably sheds 40-50 bristle strands per use. This is extremely frustrating as I'm constantly picking bristles off my face,...

This is a lovely blush brush. I tried the 129 and found it a bit too big for my cheeks so I returned it. This brush fits perfectly on the apples of my cheeks. Its dense bristles picks up and blends...

I love MAC brushes, but I'm not a fan of this brush. It is in between the size of the 129, and the 109. But, It has kind of a paddle shape, so I find it hard to apply blush with. It's made of...

This brush isn't great. Mine is still shedding TO THIS DAY (I've had it for 6 months), and it applies alright but the amount of shedding is just off-putting, and also gets in the way of...

The size is perfect. Perfect for small faces, more precise application, blending and sculpting. The form is also good, a rounded but flat on both sides slightly tapered brush. BUT I dont like...

I've suffered major blush woes in my life, mainly because I've never found a brush that applies it exactly where I want and gives me complete control to use. Sigma, Real Techniques and Bdellium...

I've been investing in MAC brushes, and I've been happy with every single one of them. I use the 116 for blush, and it works great. I haven't tried other high-end brush lines, but all my MAC...

This brush is great for contouring and applying blush. The hairs are very soft. My only problem is it sheds...not as bad as the 129, but still, when I spend $34 on a brush, I don't expect it to...

This brush is way too scratchy. It doesn't distribute the pigments well. There are a brushes that are cheaper and work so much better.

This brush is small enough to be precise, but fluffy enough that it doesn't leave a stripe of colour. It picks up the perfect amount of powder blush, and it blends the colour on beautifully. Very...
