All about MAC BRUSHES: foundation

Foundation Brush: This brush is used with ANY foundation formula (Powder-Cream-Liquid) to ensure smooth and even application all over the face.
There's no right or wrong brush for foundation, it all depends on what suits you best and gives you the best result.
I'm going to include the mostly used foundation brushes and I'm going to add which formula I THINK is used best with. As I said before, it all goes down to what you're comfortable with.


MAC 191 (Cream-Liquid)

MAC 190 (Cream-Liquid)

MAC 130 (Cream-Liquid)


MAC 188 (Liquid-Powder)



MAC 187 (Liquid - Powder)




MAC 109 (Powder) - Lots of people use this for liquid foundation
I don't cuz I find it really hard to clean natural bristled brushes with liquid formulas :$
TIP: When using synthetic fibre brushes with foundation, you will notice that they will tend to streak your foundation. Get a sponge, wet it slightly (optional), then start dabbing it all over your face to get rid of the streaks.
Here's a Comparison between the 187 - 188 - 130 Brushes
187 Brush is the largest in size
188 is the exact same as the 187 but it's slimmer
They both have longer bristles than the 130 so that makes them more harder (for lack of a better word) to control than the 130

I'm not in any way saying the 130 brush is better than the 187/188 :D I love them all, I honestly cannot pick a favorite.

MAC 131 I didn't find a decent picture of the 131 brush, but it's mostly used with cream/Liquid formulas. It is a duo fibre brush that has the same shape as the 190
