it has got to be 168!

I can't decide between the 109 and 168.

I use 168 for contouring and blush. Love it.

If I had to choose between 109 & 168 (both GREAT for contouring and other things), I would definitely go for the 109 because its very versatile. It does a great job no matter what you're applying, especially liquid foundation!

I am not liking the 168 anymore.. its 2 sharp and needs lot of blending.. i like the 168 for highlighter.. .. I am waiting for payday to go buy the 109 hehe

the 168 is great for countouring.

the bristles are so soft and it picks up more colour than most other brushes

I use 168 for both contouring and highlighting but I have to blend with my powder blush after contouring. I'm gonna get the 109 soon and just use the 168 for highlight

I like using the 109 or the 169 (LE).

I generally use the 109 because it's a small dense brush. It can really get into a small space well. However sometimes I use my 169. It all depends on what is clean and available.

The 109. I have the 169 but cannot get it to work. I can't get enough color concentrated on where I want it to go, I end up with an undefined brown face

For me it's the 138. It is LE, but I heard somewhere it might be coming back soon.

I love the 138 as well, and not just for contouring

I don't think it's LE.. It's permanent online as far as I can tell.

I agree, it's great for powder application, blush, MSF. Well worth its price.
I got it when it came out with the Sculpt & Shape collection, I'm glad to hear it's still available.

The 109 is a genius brush. Not only great for contouring - but I use it for highlighting and for applying liquid foundation. Worth it.
