what do YOU use your 187 brush for?

[user2]

Everytime I go to my counter this funny "skunk" catches my attention!
And when it was recommended for applying the MSFs, I found it even more exciting!

I'm torn between buying or nut buying this one because it's extremely pricey (€55)!

So help me..
Do I need it or not?

 

[Sanne]

yes!
I was told that the short black hairs apply the color of the MSF, and the white hairs polish the sparkly parts. it's also great for (too) pigmented blushers, and bronzers. it can also be used for applying liquid foundation.

ditto what sanne said! it's GREAT if u don't want to over apply whatever product u r using.. gives a nice sheer flawless finish.. love it!

I LOVE this brush. I held off getting it b/c it is pricey ($40 US), but I finally splurged and ya know what...it's worth every penny. It's so soft and easy to work with. It makes blush, bronzer and foundation look flawless!! Such a GREAT investment!!!

I asked about this in recommendations but got no reply. The prescriptives bronzer brush is $32.00 and looks fuller to me. I haven't tried it but am tempted to get the prescriptives one. Check it out before you get the 187.

You definitely need this brush as it makes the MSF look so natural.
It really is worth it's price.

Probably not much help but I always hear raves about this brush. Am waiting for it as I won one on ebay(also won a large contour brush both for £25 which is about $45) , but I have no MSF to use with it

.sorry to hi jack VuittonVictim but I just want to ask can this brush be used with blot powder?

i love love love love LOVE my 187 brush.. i wasnt going to get it.. but.. my MA convinced me.. and now i use it for my skin finishes and pressed powders...

 

[Scrangie]

I bought it cause it looked cool and it was so soft I couldn't stop playing with it...

Total impulse buy, but now I'm soooooo glad I did it. It's perfect for any sort of shimmery product because it makes it look luminous instead of glittery...

Also perfect for blush, sometimes I have a heavy hand but this brush practically melts it into my skin and makes it glow.

This brush is a must have, in my opinion. If not for using, just for playing with cause it's like a fluffy little... bunny? Hehehehe.

Love it!!!

 

[Miss_MAC]

I must say this brush my hands down fave MAC brush. Its great for applying bronzer because it goes on mighter and blends in better...I also love using it for my MSFs too. I sometimes use it for my blot powder, but i havent tried using my liquid foundation with it yet...im scared to.

 

[anuy]

but its so expensive! even on ebay! *sigh*

 

[Demosthenes]

I have two!

I swear to god, the 187 is one of my favorite brushes. I keep one for studio fix (it makes me look so natural and flawless) and one for my blushes/skin finishes. When I have more time I'll probably pick up another one for blushes. It's so easy to blend and apply, and it feels really smooth. Definitely get it.

I LOVE this brush but I use it primarily for applying blush with the added benefit of smoothing and evening out my foundation, powder, bronzer application. However, having said all that, I wouldn't have paid full price for it. I got it from a CCO store for $32

 

[perpetuallycute]

The 187 is definately my favourite mac brush. I use it for the MSF, bronzer, and anything with any sort of sparkle in it. Its perfect!
Its very pricey, but its totally worth it, IMO.

Also, I've tried the Flirt! skunk brush from kohls because every one is talking about how similar they are - but seriously, there is no comparison! the 187 is just amazing!

 

[missBOMBcheLLe]

i <3 this brush so much i got another one today (aLong with some naturaLLy eccentric stuff...piggeees...and other brushes)!!! this MAC addiction is shure making me broke!!! anyone bOoking any commerciaLs?!? i'm avaiLable hehehehe

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Can anyone tell me how much it is at UK counter? £27?

Also is it wise to use the brush for different products in one sitting? As in use it to apply Blot Powder and then blush/MSF afterwards without cleaning it?

 

[Viva_la_MAC_Girl]

I love my skunk brush.. its for lighter apps especially with the Skinfinishes, blushes, powders .. a lil on the expensive side but totally worth it! You can also use it to apply foundation if you so choose goes on a lil lighter then the 190!

Hi,
I bought the Flirt version from Kohl's an hour ago. I heard it is typically the same brush as MAC's. The major difference is that it is only $6.00! Yay! My wallet loved that! The MA at Kohl's told me Flirt is an Estee Lauder company. You may want to go check it out. I don't know if this is with all Kohl's but if you buy 2 items you get a free black mascara!

 

[shellebell]

I have the brush, its so soft and gives me a light application of blot powder.
Sushi Flower, I read that it was about £27 and I use it for different products in one sitting. I got the 187 brush,168 large contour brush and 318 lipbrush all for £27 from ebay. All brand new and I love them all!
