Achieving full coverage with 187?

[Doowop]

I am battling between getting the 187 and the 190.. I want a full coverage and I read that the 190 is best for this, but I also read the 187 gives that flawless airbrushed look. I like the sound of that, but is it able to give a full coverage? Also, is it able to reach into corners like under the wings of my nose or the sides of my nose bridge near my eyes since it's fluffy?

I suggest the 190 for full coverage. I own both brushes, and I usually apply fdt with my 190, then "airbrush" it with my 187. I find the 187 works best with tinted moisturizers or light fdts like Select Tint or Face & Body.

The 187 definitely will not give you full coverage, if that's what you are aiming for. It will give you a sheer-medium/sheer airbrushed, and light look. The 190 is probably better for full coverage, and if you use it in small, short strokes, you can still get an even coverage with it

For full coverage the 190 is your best option, imo. But the 187 is a great investment. I guess you could achieve a decent coverage (with the 187) if you were to layer on the foundation but I don't know anyone who would want to do that, not only for the sake of your skin but also for the sake of your wallet. Using all that foundation would definitely cost a pretty penny.

I can get pretty close to full coverage with a dupe of the 187. Go over your whole face once with a light layer and then over trouble spots kind of dab it on and blend in really short strokes.

Also, I know this is bad for brushes and this is why I use a cheap one, but using a hairband around the brush will give you full coverage. Not something I'd do with a really good brush but it works.

thanks! Looks like I'll have to go for the 190 then..

You can get pretty good coverage with the 187 if you stipple the foundation onto your skin as opposed to sweeping or brushing. I tried this last week and was surprised at how much the coverage changed.

right now im testing out select spf and am using the 188 brush (its so tiny!). Like aziajas, if i stipple it on and then work it in, i get very good coverage with it.

This is the best method to get a really airbrushed look with my 187, it´s amazing ... I dont own the 190, instead I have the Lancome one, which I think it´s pretty good too, but I love love my 187 I want another!! bcos this is really good to apply foundation, powder, cream blush, blush, MSF...anyway you maybe want to give it a try...
