This one?  I've got a 1-word review...CRAP!

It's a little too floppy and it's now losing hairs like crazy and I've only used it for about 2 weeks.  CS brushes are so hit and miss (more miss than hit).  The ONLY brush out of the 8 brushes I've bought in a year that I had liked it is the Bionic Wide Buffer and that is super soft and I love it.  I'm thinking of getting another one of it but not any other.

I guess I am the only one who can't blend with stippling brush.I have the MAC 187, Ive tried numerous of times stippling and swirling ( not harsh), bahhh my skin enhances flakes together with the foundation even though I moisturize and exfoliate my skin decent enough.Until the youtube m/u guru, gossmakeupartist said that combination skin and dry skin should lean towards damp makeup sponges instead of foundation brushes.I guess its very much true, I bought beauty blender right after that, and use it to apply foundation, my foundation looked really good, no flakes or watsoever and when I set my powder, it sets nicely( wthout lifitng the flakes)

Also a update on this.

I purchased the Etude House Duo-Fibre brush and I LOVE it.

The brush is crazy thick. The handle is shorter than I thought it would be and the bristles are WAY denser than I could've imagined. Great for stippling, but I still need to practice my technique to get it down.

Is there any Youtube vid that any of you watched to teach yourselves to stipple?

I have an Etude House one too. Not sure if it's better/worse than other brands since it's my first stippling brush but so far I love it!

Enkore makeup has a couple videos on stippling that helped me, i saw others but i prefer enkore's.

Wow!!! Thanks for the info! I was thinking about buyin it just to have but I think I'll pass now.

 

[magosienne]

I've received my stippling brush last weekend, i've used it a couple times and OMG ! It's so soft ! The bristles are definitely short and very dense, so it's really easy to pick up liquid foundation and stipple it on my face. I used to apply my foundation with a regular brush for 30 minutes (for just the foundation), now i can have my face done with primer, blush, powder, under eye concealer and setting spray under 15 minutes. Yay !!

I haven't tried it with mineral foundation, but i think it will work fine too.

Which brush did you buy?

 

[SadAng3l]

I really like the Sigma 187 stippling brush which is more or less the same as the MAC 187. Also the Sigma F80 Flat Top brush is very good too.

 

[reesesilverstar]

I'm back to say, anything you do, STAY AWAY FROM WALMARTS STIPPLER!!!

It has to be THE worst most craptastic, forget shedding, clumps falling out, smelliest brush I've EVER come across. A total waste of money.

 

[breathless]

i only use my mac 187 =]

 

[RoxyJ]

I just received the E.L.F. Stippling brush, I just washed it today, so I haven't tried it for foundation today. It's a bit smaller than the MAC 187 and not quite as dense, but it's super soft and pretty comparable to the 187 especially for the price.

 

[internetchick]

Just curious, but if you haven't tried it what about it makes you think it is comparable to the 187?

 

[SalonClearwater]

Mac 187 is good.I like it more than any other...

 

[hopeful1983]

Studio Tools have a GREAT, cheap stippling brush around $4-5 and Sonia Kashuk also at Target retails for 12.99.

 

[sparklingirish]

Any updates about the E.L.F brush? I'm looking at buying it as it's far cheaper than the MAC one but I'd like to know if it's any good first! 

 

[luckycharms]

^ I love the ELF small stipple brush. (Just ordered 5 of them- they had a sale on their studio brushes)

I like it better than my MAC 130. If you're asking about the larger stipple brush from ELF, I don't know. (I ordered one of those as well, but haven't gotten it yet.)

Any other suggestions ?

I've started using a Sephora stippling brush (finally remembered i did have a stippling brush in my stash

) to apply my foundation. Super easy, super quick, love the results but OMG ! It's everything but soft, my skin almost feels itchy after using it. I really wonder what i'm going to do with this, i don't like it to apply powder on my face, it's too hard for foundation, i would say it's a waste of money but luckily i bought it for really cheap. It's easy to clean, although i did squirt some black colorant when washing mine (which to me isn't a good sign of quality).

Ha, I wonder if that's the same one I have.  I got the Sephora Pro Stippling Brush (the silver handle, part of the series that was discontinued a few months ago) and sort of hate it.  The white fibers are really stiff and poky, feels like i'm trying to apply product with a face brush meant for exfoliating!  I'm not sure what to do with mine either, it came in a set with the MUA brush belt.  Maybe I should use it to apply exfoliating face wash or something, hehe.

I got the Sigma F55 as a replacement, it's really soft, the bristles are sparse rather than dense, and it's smaller.  I use it for cream blush, contouring, and applying finishing powder.  Only thing I dislike is that the black hairs bleed when I wash the brush.  No shedding though.

I am currently using a Sonia Kashuik stipple brush and love it. I've switched to that from the elf brush.
