You can definately wear it, but VERY light handedly.

I use a fiber optic brush with Merrily, and one dip is enough for that natural look

Maybe I'll get a feather duster brush to try. I never tried a feather duster brush before

The 109 Small Contour brush is absolute magic with these blushes. It is such a versatile brush

You goof. I think I forgot to tell you it's pronounced suh-NAY-iss.

Yeaaaaaaaaah. LoL Im a weirdo I guess

you crack me up weirdo!

and you can swirl it with no worries! i swirl, pat, tap, dip and swipe.

and 2 #109s can definately be justified. that's why i have 3!

I have two of those bad boys.
Seriously.
They are basically the only brush I could justify owning two of.

^^^First of all, I missed you blind. You light up my life.

Second, the 109 lights up my life as well. It is my HG brush for sure. I think Audrey has basically hit on the nose with the point that you have to use a light hand with Merrily. No matter what brush you use.

 

[Julie5]

Thank you girls so much I am going to try it with these brushes and see if it works

Absolutely right! I take back what I said about the 188 being THE brush to use for the pigmented ones like Love Thing and Merrily... because I haven't TOUCHED either of my 188 brushes for weeks! I've been using... *gasp* the 181se!!

Yep that's right. A kabuki... with the two most pigmented blushes in the collection... on NW15 skin haha

It works

You just have to make sure you don't pick up too much product- touch the brush LIGHTLY to the blush, then swirl it on the plastic insert and apply! Works like a dream

 

[Sanayhs]

...I might have been in MAC today, playing with Merrily and admiring it.

I only left with a couple of pigment samples, though! (Antique Green, Mega-Rich, Blonde's Gold).

 

[Miss QQ]

I didn't get Merrily in the end, and I have decided not to get it. How ironic, because when I said here I want to get it, I heard lots of praises on how lovely the colour is. But then the underlining point is that it is tricky to apply. Especially so for me, since I put makeup in the morning before work, always rushing

.

 

[Heiaken]

I got Merrily because I didn't have a red blush and I really like the texture of the mineralize blushes. It can be tricky but not overly, once you get the hang of it there's nothing to worry about

I've been using the 182 too

 

[~Crystal~]

YAY!! My Gentle arrived today!! I love these blushes- I can't seem to choose between them!! I keep alternating- Merrily for a few days... Dainty for the next few once I try it again and see how gorgeous it is- then Love Thing for a couple of days... and now, I'm sure, Gentle for another few days XD

These are some of the BEST MAC products ever made!!!!

 

[Moxy]

I'm still in love with Dainty myself!

And Gentle is next on the list to get, once they're repromoted.

Oh I adore Dainty too, its perfect! You'll love Gentle too, its great.

I really like the way they look on my skin, they are seriously the best blushes I have ever used. I neglected NARS completely since I got these.
