MAC Taste Temptations Collection (November 2012; December 2012)

You will love it.

I want that brush now because I hear so many good things about it

 

[BuickMackane]

Morning Glory Lustreglass is very similar if you don't want to CP for Perky.

Thanks! I'll check it out

 

[BuickMackane]

I have one on its way to me now! I've had a MUA apply blush on me with one of them a couple of times and it always looks PERFECT. I figured it was the artist, but I tried it myself once at a Nars counter and felt like it was idiot proof. Which is good, because I am a blush idiot.

That just about sums up why I ended up getting it. I have a hard time not looking like an off-duty clown with most blushes, so the darker and heavily pigmented ones were off limits pre-Yachiyo.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Yeah, that one definitely needs the Yachiyo touch! I drooled over it when it was released with LoL but I was too intimidated to even contemplate buying it. Dark blush + Pale skin + Utter blush klutz = BAD combo

I don't think I can use TT's Passionately Tempted with my regular blush brush either.

Try the 184. While you can still overdo it with this brush, it definitely has a built-in damage control. The 184 is a must-have for palies.

While I love it for bronzer I don't think I would like the shape for blush. To be honest I've never really tried it, because I already have the 131 and that's just love! Mac bring it back and make it permanent!
What way would you swipe with the 184 if you were to use it for blush? Would you hold it horizontal or vertical? I hope my questions makes sense

It's a pro product, right? Pro stuff aren't available on the NL website. Booo!

I actually have a GOSH fan brush. I got it in a sale ages ago, but I never used it because I didn't know what to do with it. It's probably not as good as 184 but I'll give it a whirl and wait for 184 to be repromoted in a collection

 

[BuickMackane]

Same here. I only have one bottle of Blue India but I do love this color. It's gorgeous.

Oh yes, Blue India is gorgeous. It was my first dusty blue as well, so it has an extra special place in my heart

But if I had any sense I would have got another LoL product instead of a BI backup. Heck, I would have got half the collection!

I got it in the Amsterdam pro store for €22 I think. If you have a change to go there and want to get it I do recommend calling first and ask for a hold. Just to be sure that it's stil there when you're finally in Amsterdam.

I don't think I'll go to Amsterdam any time soon but I suppose it would be a good idea to give them a call when I do

I don't know the GOSH fan brush, but give it a go and see how it works for you.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I tested Dirty Plum a month ago at the MAC Pro shop and i LOOOOVED it, but it already had been discontinued and now (sob) i can't get it (sob). It was soooo perfect!

When i couldn't find the MAC 184, i got the sephora pro fan 65. It feels pretty nice, but i haven't really used it yet for applying powdered face products.

Anyone know how that sephora brush compares to the MAC 184? (i'm probably just asking to start kicking myself for not getting the MAC...)

 

[Monsy]

smashbox has a really good fan brush

 

[dancepig]

I prefer the Sephora fan brush (the new version) to the MAC fan brush. The Sephora fan brush is denser. In answer to the question as to how to use it, I use it for heavy pigmented blushes and I use it for highlighting. I hold it horizontally and dust the top of the cheekbones. Hope this helps!

Thank you all for your suggestions and tips re: fan brushes!

Thank you all for your suggestions and tips re: fan brushes! :flower:

I agree lol that's one brush I never knew how to use or what for; the other thing I don't see how to use is the beauty blender and I hear so many good things about it
