MAC Brushes 130 and 187



MAC Brushes 130 (left) and 187 (right)-
I feel like I wouldn't usually do a review on brushes but I have been loving these 2 so much that I couldn't resist! I will start with my favorite, the 130. This brush is smaller than the 187 which is what I like about it. I use this one for my liquid foundation every morning. Both can be used for liquid foundations but I feel like the 130 can blend it in easier and you get less streaks and can get a more precise application whereas the 187 is larger and harder to control. I will put a dab of foundation on my face where I want it then use my 130 to buff it in. You only need the smallest amount because it blends it so nicely. All in all I have really been enjoying this brush and it is my favorite of my MAC brushes. Another favorite of my MAC brushes is my 187 which I use to blend my foundation for a more finished look after I've put it on and blended a bit with my 130. I also use this for my blush and my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in "Soft and Gentle". (which I will do a review on as well) I feel like this brush is better for blushes and highlights and products of that sort but that is just how it works for me please keep in mind that it is all trial and error and everyone has their own opinions and just because something works best for one person does not mean it will be the same for the next. For me this brush is the perfect size for putting things on my cheekbones and great for blending things as well. Both of these brushes are incredibly soft and I love feeling them, they are just so lovely! Quick Beauty Tip: Do not ever blow on your brushes if you ever pick up too much powder on them, gently hit the brush on something to get the extra powder off instead because blowing onto your brush gets the germs from your mouth onto your brush which you then put on your face and get the mouth germs all over your face.
I have had some shedding with these brushes but a lot less then most other brushes that I have used, every brush is going to shed a hair every once in a while. I have really enjoyed using these brushes and it makes applying my makeup much easier.
