I'm feeling a little dumb here girls, can someone please explain how any liquid or gel like foundation would work with the 109? I don't have a 109 but I have a 116 and they'd be slightly similar, right? I used my studio sculpt last night with my 190 and it was fine, out of the bottle it was thicker/more gel like than studio fix but the 190 spread it out in an even layer and it looked just fine. I too, like miss bailey can see how I would go through a studio sculpt bottle significantly quicker than studio fix. I'm still unsure as to how I feel about it, but I guess I'll have to play a bit more.

Is it worth getting a 109??

Oh, also, I was kind of naughty and didn't remove my make up last night and my foundation is still perfectly in tact, so that says something pretty good about studio sculpt's staying power!

hmm.... well i guess since #109 has natural bristles, you will get fuller coverage because it's denser and whatnot.. as opposed to #187 which is not that dense if you know what i mean...

but the thing is, #109 tends to absorb liquid-based products - that's the downfall... as opposed to #187 or #190 which are synthetic brushes..

however, #109 is a lot better than #187 when it comes to blending.. as in, i use #187 to stipple the foundation on myy face and then blend it into myy skin to get a flawless look using #109... what i love about #109 is because it's small enough to get into small parts of the face, like around the nose area..

still not sure if #109 deserves to get the 'must-haves' title.. but yea...


and now i really want to try studio sculpt...!!

i want to get some stuffs CP'ed for SS ( lollipop loving and maybe one shadestick and one MSF ) and #222 + soft brown e/s

any recs for a trust-worthy CP'er??

the #187 is goat hair and synthetic fibers ,#109 is all goat hair

I'm pretty sure I've decided on the 109 over the 168 for blush/contour! Mainly contouring though. Gotta watch a few YTs to compare first!

It's weird, I never knew anything about the 109 and then it started popping up everywhere with so many raves! Instant lemming.

Urgh! I hate the 168! I think its useless the 129 is much better for blush and the 109 is the business for contouring.
I dont like using my 109 for Studio Fix Fluid but I love it for Studio Sculpt I think because the foundation is thicker you really need to blend it well and the 109 does that better than the 187. However I also kabuki my face with setting powder as well just to make sure I REALLY dont have any streaks. I dont think id use anything else, except maybe the beauty blender, id like to try that but I dont have it yet and have a slight aversion to buying things online. Dont ask why there is no answer.

Thanks for all your help guys! I use my 116 for blush and contouring, but I can see how I could definitely use something better for contouring. I also feel like due to the natural fibres in 109 it would absorb the foundation, but the contouring use sounds great! As for blending for a flawless/streak free finish I don't think I'll find anything that works better than my 182 kabuki, I couldn't live without it.

I used to use my 109 for blush and it was okay but I now primarily use it for highlighting and have switched to the 116 for blush. I think the 109 is just the right size to highlight my little cheekbones and it always blends so nicely. I've always wanted to try it for foundation but I have never really had a liquid one to try it with. I'm going to get MUFE Mat Velvet and go to town though

hmm... i love the #168 for contouring myy cheeks... and #109 for contouring other parts of myy face - jawline etc and highlighting because it's smaller so it's great for a more precise application...

for blush... i'm currently using ecoTools blush brush and MAC #129...

as we're now talking about brushes... do you guys think #134 is worth getting?? i'm looking for a big powder brush.... some prefer #134 over #150...

I use 190 for foundation and then I buff it in with the 187... works well. If you apply foundation directly with 187 it will suck up your foundation in the bristles rather than actually applying to your face because of the microfibres.. so I find buffing it in with 187 post application with 190 works much better.

I kept telling myself that if I really wanted it then I could wait until I got to the pro store and get it then.

Shit.

Thats ok hun, I know the Adelaide store has it if I really want it but thanks for the offer!!

There was one in the clearance bin for USD$22 so I have sent a PM about that... should work out cheaper than buying here even with the shipping...
