This brush is overhyped. It would be a good brush if it didn't shed so much. Lots of people say they use this for liquid foundation but it's horrible for that! It's way too stiff and sheds like crazy, I end up having to pick hairs out of the foundation on my face. I like the Illamasqua Highlighting brush as a dupe for the 109 and it works better for foundation. If you want to buy this brush specifically for liquid foundation - don't! If you like the shape of it, try the Illamasqua one, it's softer and buffs liquid foundation in perfectly and it doesn't shed at all. Much better purchase imo.
The 109 works better on dry, powder products.

my 109 ONLY sheds when its wet. when i wash it.
which tells me its not meant for liquid foundation, but i mean, whatever floats your boat. i know tons of folks use it for liquid foundation, but just like Julia said, you end up picking pieces from your face. fail. i just refuse to use it for that.

I tried using it for my foundation as well but it was not worth all the time I spent picking off all the hairs it shed. I mainly use it for highlighting and have recently started using it for blush application (I use my 165 for contouring) because it blends the blush in very well.

I used to use a 187 for my Studio Fix Fluid, but once I got the 109 I decided to try it out for my SFF (because my MA used it for the foundation around my nose and cheeks and it looked airbrushed)
Ever since trying the 109 for foundation, thats all I like to use. Nothing covers my scars and bumps better than the 109. It doesnt make my face look streaky, it doesnt shed on my face (maybe a couple hairs) and nothing beats how flawless my skin looks.
I dont like how small it is, and I dont like that I need 2 of them (one for foundation, one for blush) But Im open to other brushes, I may look at the one Misschievious recommended...
For now, Im gonna keep using my 109

I love the 109 for foundation but i stopped ever since i ruined my brush. After a few years it started to shed way too much and it just wasn't the same anymore. It it gave amazing coverage and i didn't have to spend long buffing the product in.
