The only thing I cant figure out is how to evenly cover the brush with the foundation? When I put the foundation on my hand and then tap the brush into it it only goes into a certain part of the brush. I tried swirling the brush into the foundation and it was a bit better but does anyone have a trick?

Don't apply the foundation directly into the brush or even from your hand. Dot the foundation onto your face, then swirl the brush into it. Don't start by pressing your brush into one of the dots either because it will just get all into the center of the brush. Just buff it in circles around your face and gradually work in the dots of foundation.

I've been using mine a lot for my MSFN's and my Pur Minerals 4-in-1 foundation (which is like MSFN but with "full" coverage...) . I'm loving this brush. It's so soft too...like buttah...lol

I called a MAC store in NY and the MA told me they were out of this brush at the moment but it was on order and a whole shipment of the brush would be in within a week. I said "are you sure the 180, i thought it was discontinued.." and she's like "I'm positive the 180... I didn't hear anything about it being discontinued, and I would know." So I don't know... any MA's know what's going on? I never called back because I lost the number and I don't remember which store in NY I called. (I called 10 that day)

I was wondering, how similar the 180 and the 183 are? Thanks

i was desperately looking for the 180 brush too, and i went to so many MAC stores and either the girls didn't know which one i was talking about or said it was discontinued (which i heard a lot of) but they told me to go to the PRO stores because sometime they have stuff that are discontinued.

I went to the PRO store in SF and they didn't have any more either. So they told me about the 183, which i purchased, the mua said that its the same as the 180 just smaller. I did compare it in the store, and thats all i really noticed too. I dont have the 180 to compare how it uses, but the 183 works really well!

I think I'm still gonna try to find the 180 brush just because its a little bigger and the handle looks really cool haha.

oh yeah, btw, I was on their website and they used to have the 183 brush on the site, now its not there anymore... :- /, why are they removing all the awesome brushes???!!!!

the 183 was LE to begin with, and it's since been RTV'd. that's why its not there anymore.
