MAC 187 Brush Knockoffs?

I thought I recalled folk saying that Sonia Kashuk had one, but I've never seen one at my Target ever.

Who makes a good knockoff on the 187?

Good topic. I'd like to know this as well. I heard that the new 187's aren't made as great as they used to be (i.e. bristles falling out and such...). I don't know this first hand, since I don't own this brush yet, but maybe someone can confirm this.

I was recommended the Flirt skunk brush on MUA, as Brianne said. Sadly though, I don't have any access to Kohls and soemhow can't justify $50 for a brush despite how much I want it

Not really a knockoff (but a little cheaper) I use Lancome's and I think I paid like $35.00 for it. I got it during gwp time too which made me feel a little better about it, lol. I also heard Flirt's is good and definitely cheaper.

I'm in the same boat as you.
 
Lancome #3 does quite a good job.I suppose the 187 must be lot better,but i get by with my Lancome one.If you think 50 USA dollars is expensive,in Europe its price is 50 euros=61 dollars.No way that i pay so much just for a brush.

I hate the lancome one, it's so small!!! a skunk brush neds to be big, otherwise there's no effect!
 
Re: MAC 187 brush knockoffs?

Yeah I went to look at the brush from khols, it was soft, but very small. I didn't like it at all. I would like to see a knockoff that is more comparible in size to the 187.

My 187 got stolen

Sephora stippling. I gave the 187 to Mom, bought a couple Sephora stippling brushes, they are exactly the same (I think Sephora's is a tad better maybe). Sephora's pro brushes are very well made.

Inglot sell a knock off 187 brush, MAC 187 brushes here are $85 whereas the Inlgot one was about $50-$60 (IIRC) if that helps with a comparison. I haven't used it but I felt it and it didn't feel as nice and soft as the 187, but it looked exactly the same.

I just bought the Shopper's Drugmart Brand QUO Skunk Brush (Bronzing Brush is it's official name), and it is DIVINE. Works almost as well as my 187, and it was waaay cheaper, so I don't mind getting it dirty. Super soft and amazing at blending.

Sephora silver Stippling Brush is a dead ringer and it works just as well.

FYI Sephora brushes are made by the same brush designer and factory as MAC brushes, so it's no surprise that the two are very comparable.
I fiddled with that flirt! one at kohls and it seemed like it would be too little to do much.

Re: MAC 187 brush knockoffs?

thank you macpixieo4! Do you mind if I ask how you found this out? I always thought Sephora brushes were as good, if not better, than the Mac brushes for half the price, sometimes even less. They are soft and pliable and work for me very well.. Does anyone agree with this? I have returned some MAC brushes because they just don't work for me as well as Sephora, Sonia Kashuk and some other brands...I guess you just have to keep trying to find what's best for you and your skin and technique...

Do you use your sephora stippling for liquid foundation? I have a 187SE and was planning to buy the full size sometime in the future, but if the sephora one is exactly the same then that's awesome! $10 cheaper!
