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 on...Read more

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 us...Read more

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 soft...Read more

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 says ...Read more

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 wa...Read more

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 wor...Read more

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 would ...Read more

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 recommend...Read more

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 otherwise,...Read more

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 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 use t...Read more
