I get shedding when using my powder foundation, and I even noticed the one the MUA at MAC used was shedding as well, if that helps you out
The amazing 109

I've read somewhere that to minimize shedding you should not press the bristles onto your face ie, use it with a light hand.
I only use mine to contour and apply msf's or highlighters.

Do you guys think the 109 could beat a kabuki in terms of mineral foundation application (esp. coverage!)? I
my EDM kabuki, but you can never have too many multi - purpose MAC brushes!!!

I LOVE the 109, i got it about a month ago and use it to apply foundation & contour, it really does contour WAY better than the other contouring brushes such as 168. The 109 brush blends like a dream, im seriously in love with my 109 brush.
Only thing is that it does shed but when you wash it regularly with shampoo, it helps, well at least for me it does.

I was a die-hard kabuki user for my mineral makeup, but since I've gotten the 109 I only use the kabuki if I'm in a rush and need to cover more surface area, faster. With the kabuki I found I was almost grinding the brush and minerals into my skin as I buffed; I applied a lot more pressure than I do with the 109. Maybe it's the longer handle or smaller brush head or both, but it's a more delicate touch. It still provides plenty of coverage!

I have washed my 109 brush after every use because i don't like having left over foundation gunk build up and then putting the brush back on my face the next day. But then again, I don't wear foundation everyday. I wear foundation about 2-3 times a week but I always use the 109 for foundation application. It has held up well so far. Just don't get the wooden part wet. Like others said, this brush does shed tiny hairs all over your face which can get a bit annoying. If I use less pressure, it doesn't shed as much. That would be the only con.

I bought it and I tried it with liquid foundation and I don't like it at all for that. It sheds sooo much I'm constantly picking off hair, and it makes my face look streaky...Pretty good for contouring though, just wasn't what I was hoping for. Meh, wish I could return it. :/ I think this brush is kinda overrated in this thread tbh...

I had the same exact experience while using liquid foundation with the 109. It's horrible for applying liquids but it is my HG blush & contouring brush.
