Best Brush for Blush Doubles

[Cygnette]

I know I'm kind of late to the party - but I've had my blush doubles for a while, love them to death, but find myself not using them that often because all of my blush brushes are of the big fluffy variety that would mix the two shades. (I have a fluffy brush and the Flirt Skunk brush already)

So my question is - what's the best brush that's small enough to pick up pigment from each shade separtately?

Thanks ladies!

What's wrong with mixing the two shades together? I would use any blush brush but instead of going in circular motions or across the dividing line(of the two colours) I'd go with the dividing line. That way you pick up both colours but dont make them mixed and messy in the compact. If that's what you meant...:|

Well, for the ones that I have (Tiger Lilly/Bloomsberry and Primpin'/Golden Kitty) I want to be able to use one shade on one part of my face and the other shade on the other part. But the brushes I have will only allow me to touch both at the same time.

So ideally, I'm looking for a brush small enough to swipe across just the one side and then across the other side.

I have a blush brush from the Body Shop that is kind of skinnier than regular blush brushes and it seems to work well with my blush double. I rarely use the colours separately though. I'm too afraid that one side will look more used up than the other.

I heard #168 was great for that, small enough.

Definitely the #168. While it's not super tiny, it's small enough that you can pretty much pick up one color at a time (the angling of the brush really helps in this respect). I love this brush, it's nice and soft, and you can pick up either a lot or a little bit of color.

Thank you both!!

The 168 is my favorite blush, highlight, and contouring brush. But I'll also plug the 116 -- the tapered shape really is terrific for targeted blush usage on the apples of the cheeks. It's MAC's premiere blush brush.

Thanks so much, I'll be sure to check that one out too. 8)

hey! the 109 is pretty small too but you gotta be careful cause it tends to pick up a lot of color....
