hehe I was going to reply earlier but I haven't tried BE before.
I have however used it with Urban Decay's Mineral MU.
I just unscrew the little buffer pad and dip my 182 in and tap off a little and buff it on. If I buff it straight onto my skin I find it looks too matte and kinda weird. So I either put Strobe Cream, Stuido Moisture Cream, or a nice spray of Fix+ first then buff it in. I've also found that using the MU off the lid is good for more coverage.
Yay more text! haha I use the 182 most often for MACs Invisible Set powder which (amazingly) sets my Hyperreal-esque MU perfectly! It still looks semi-dewy and fresh but not glaringly so. ^_^

I use this for applying my BE makeup. I like it. I was using my BB kabuki before that and I think that both brushes work about equally.

OMG, I would NEVER use the 182 with any liquid or cream product! However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 109 for liquid foundations, cream blushes, etc. The 109 is like a much smaller kabuki IMHO. I've had mine for a month and use it daily to apply liquid foundation. I'm going to buy another for cream blushes soon.

I've been asking this same question and I finally did a Live Chat with Amy from Mac. She said the 182 works great with mineral foundation! now I want it and it's sold out everywhere!!!
I guess I'll just have to get it online...

I use bare minerals foundation and use the mac kabuki with it and I absolutely love it. I was using the brush that came out in the set of bare minerals makeup and it was horrible. It would leave red itchy splotches on my face since it was so rough and you had to buff it, and it didnt distribute produt evenly. The mac brush is so so soft, and it evens out the product a lot more to make it more natural looking. For me it was totally worth the money because i use bare minerals almost every day.

Unless they have changed this in the last month or so these are totally different. The only similarity is that they are short and stumpy.
The 180 has white bristles, the 182 is supersoft and has brown bristles.
I use my 182 everyday. My 187's have been relegated to the back of the drawer.

Thanks for the pic! Hmmm judging from that picture I think I would prefer the 180 to be honest. Well, I'm having the 182 transferred from another MAC location so I can compare before I buy.
Which one of those 2 do you think gives a better "airbrushed" finish? Which one is better for buffing?

Sorry I was rather vague there wasn't I, lol.
I use my 182 for applying and buffing MSF's, and blushes with sheen. Which I always used to use the 187 for. I find it really buffs it up properly. You know giving that healthy glow.

I just got my 182 thanks to my sister who found it for me at her MAC counter
It is seriously the best for buffing in mineral foundation. My skin looks flawless and not clumpy or streaky at all. Plus the brush is really dense so it picks up product, but it is very soft so it doesn't scratch skin.
