As a poor student do i still NEED the Stippling brush?

[Sushi_Flower]

I've heard great things about it here and i thought ''would love to have it but i'm sure i can do without it as i've got a good blusher brush for my MSF". But today i got my MSF and although it didn't go on too bad with my blusher brush, i didn't feel very confident applying with it and did feel as though i could have easily put too much on. It didn't go on as blended in and sheer over a big distance like i would have preferred. I really want the Stippling brush now but would it really be worth me getting it as a poor student? The MSF itself was more than i should have spent right now!
Would the price of it really pay off or could i get a cheaper alternative or use my blusher brush in a better way? If i did get it would it be good for any other purpose?

Check ebay for the brush, I just bought one for $33.

It's deffinitely worth it IMO.

My 187 is my favourite brush. I already have one but I use it so often, for so many different things, I am planning to get at least one more when I have some spare cash.

Depends. I assume you're talking about the 187 and in that case yes (though Flirt has one comprable). I debated over getting this brush for days being a broke student myself and gave in - it was worth it, use the brush every day.

A fan brush can also be used for stippling. I find it harder to use than the `87, but you can get one at the craft store for under $5.

I'd suggest reading these posts, they pretty much cover exactly what you're asking:
