Okay, so I decided to try the NYX Professional Flat Top Brush (Skunk). I compared it with my MAC 187 and while both brushes are soft, the 187 is really the best of the best. The 187 brush feels so luxurious on your skin. The NYX brush shed as soon as I ran my fingers through it. It also shed as I washed it and this black dye came off. I washed the brush about 4 times and the black dye kept coming out. I used MAC brush cleaner. I would say the brush is okay, I would not rush out and buy it. I don't like shedding and black dye running from my brushes. I will see how it works tomorrow when it's dry.
I'm glad I bought it at 20% off because I would be really pissed if I paid full price for it. Oh and the bristles have a strong chemical odor.
Same situation with the NYX Profession Brush The Big One Powder Brush. Shedding, Black Dye and strong chemical smell. Stick with the eye brushes and forget about the face brushes.
