MAC pressed blot powder

[nunu]

Hey

which brush do u guys recommend for the pressed blot powder?

im currently using the 136 brush is the 1 im using the right brush?

I use the blot powder as well, and I use the 134 or the 136, and sometimes even the 182 if that's all I've brought in my purse. You can use any powder brush for the blot powder.

Just remember to try not to use the powder pad thingys that come with the powders, because lots of bacteria builds up on them and its really hard on your skin, especially if you are re-applying multiple times in a day.

I dropped my blot powder a few weeks ago and it shattered

I need to get a new one a.s.a.p!

you can use the 129 or even 182 with a lot of buffing! But it's best to use a domeshaped fluffy powder brush

I always use the little puff thing when I am not at home since I dont carry my brushes with me! I guess i'll have to get a mini 129. Thanks for the info I never knew that.

Yeah I never used to either, but I find that my break-outs aren't as bad now that I've started using professional brushes that I have the ability to wash lots. =) there's nothing better then a clean brush.

I suggest a good kabuki brush. I tried to use it with my 187, but it's way too soft for a pressed powder

I use the 129 Short Hand that came with last year's brush holiday sets and love it. But you can also use the 180 or the 182.

I also use the 129 from last years holiday set; it works great for me.

I try to not use the puff/pad thing that comes with it very often, usually the only time I'll use it is if I don't have a brush on me and I really need to re-apply.

I use the 182 with my pressed blot powder

 

[blindpassion]

Yeah, the 182 is great for pressed powder, especially on the go.

Yes, you can use it for that. However, I don't like it for setting my undereye concealer as I find it's too drying for that area.

Most powders are fine for that. Mineralize skinfinish natural looks particularly good I find.
