My wonderful mother gifted me a collection of spectacular old mac brushes from the 90s. They are in amazing condition and I'm confident they're genuine, but MAC must have changed their numbering system at some point in the last 20 years because none of the numbers match the current brushes! Ideally, I’d like to establish what brushes from the “OLD” numbering system correlate to which of the new ones! Can you help?!
25 – eyeliner – sable – cream liner brush
17 – lip – firm sable
140 – angled shading (small) – squirrel – shading corners of eyes
141 – angled shading (medium) – squirrel – blending crease or shading
144 – eye shading – fine badger/pony – base brush or eyelid below crease
107 - large shading – weasel/nylon – base eyeshadow
13 – duster – white goat – excess powder duster
143 – pencil brush – badger/pony – control for lining or shading crease
18 – shader – soft sable – concealer
33 – crease – dense sable – shading & creating defined crease
36 – tapered – soft squirrel – blending crease
190 (not old, don’t need info thanks)
148 – angled (large) – pony – contour cheek, temple, jaw
2.S – blush – squirrel – cheeks
101 – large powder – soft goat – face, body

ORDER IN PHOTOS: 25, 17, 140, 141, 144, 107, 13, 143, 18, 33, 36, 190 (not old), 148, 2.S (so curious about this one!), 101
Please let me know what OLD number you think correlates with what NEW brush number! Thanks everyone for your help!

I would love to see this forum get active again, with vintage Mac collectors sharing info and collections!! I’m looking for info on really old shades of shadow and blushes… I literally have the shade “White” in a big pro pan, and the shade “Cheek” which I’m not sure if it’s a blush or shadow! Currently I’m trying to find any info on the shade “Gris” But I’ve only found one post on here, listing it as a satin. But I’m always on the hunt for these shades to buy…
