#109 is my love!! i use it for loose mineralized to get more coverage, it also applies tech beautifully, in fact my manager asked me to touch up his studio tech one day (he only wears it on his cheeks and nose to even out his skintone) and i used the 109 and he said he had never thought to use that brush, but he loved how it looked and ended up buying the brush that day. you can buff on any liquid foundation with the 109 and it will look flawless and smooth. you can contour with it, use it for cream blushes and use it for you msfs. one tip though, ive had a few artists and some customers complain about that brush shedding badly so i asked them to demonstrate how they use it and each one was pressing very hard and buffing very roughly. so one of the artists that complained about it, i demo'ed on her the best way to use it which is by doing a light buffing motion, the tips of the bristles should just softly graze the skin to create the airbrushed look, using a light hand will prevent the shedding.

I ordered mine off the MAC website.
I think erine was just trying to mention that it isn't at counters, but thanks for reminding everyone it is available online.
I love the#109! I have 4 now: 1 for liquid foundations, 1 for powders, 1 for contouring and one for blushes/illuminating products.
I have been using it for years as a liquid foundation brush. It really gives a great application.

oh i forgot to mention, i use it for studio stick foundation and studio mist, just spray the brush and buff it on. also the artist that said she had a problem with it shedding and i told her to not press it down so hard but merely let the tips of the bristles buff her skin, said she tried my technique and now shes in love with her brush again.
i have 2 as well =)

I love my brush. I use it pretty much as an all purpose foundation, powder, and concealer brush. It's one of my top 3 brushes!!!

I used the 109 yesterday for the first time with my studio fix fluid and it was amazing!
I think that this might become my go to foundation brush rather than the 187. I am so glad I read this thread but I feel bad I have let such a great brush sit in a drawer for so long.

The MA recommended it and I didn't think much of the brush since it was so small. I picked it up when I bought belightful at the Fafi event and I love this brush now. It's great for highlighting since it's small and dense.
I just picked up studio mist foundation on Friday so I'm going to try the 109 with that -- can't wait!

i didn't like it as a blush brush (i ended up with two pink dots on my cheeks) but i used it to apply studio finish concealer on a few spots and it was great! i also used it for my satinfinish sample, even though the color was off, my skin looked flawless.
thanks again, TDoll. i never knew concealer could look this amazing!
