What is the best brush to use with mac Studio fix foundation.. I am looking for a wide brush /

[Hinna]

Perhaps the 187 from Mac? Apparently it gives an airbrushed finish for powder/cream foundations and is good for pigmented blushers too - i should be getting it soon myself, can't wait!

for the sff i use the 187 brush. like it was already said, it goes on beautifully. you can also use the 190 brush. when i use it i pump out two squirts and dot it all over my face(cheeks, forehead, chin). then i use the brush to blend the foundation in using circular motions.

If you are using the Studio Fix Powder foundation then you can use either the 187 or the 109 if you want more coverage.

If you are using the Studio Fix Fluid foundation, you can use either the 187 or the 190.

Flirt's Skunk Brush. Its like $7 or something like that. They sell them at Kohl's.

Devin (or anyone else) - if I am understanding this correctly, you have a pumo for your foundation? I had no clue that they sold one for it. How much is it?

I think pumps are 3 dollars at MAC. I read it in a post here.

Check out Essence of Beauty brushes at CVS. They are on sale buy 1/get 1 50% off until 4/22/06. You can probably find one for $4.99-$7.99. I don't remember how much I paid.

the pumps are sold at the mac stores. the freestanding store in SJ NEVER has them they're like $3 or something.


i would use the 187 brush or the 129SH cause you can put it in your purse

[Marisol]

Thanks for the info!

that's good, too, but if i recall correctly, it's not as firm as the 187 which means you can't really buff the product in.
