Great Brush
RoleModel (100 reviews)

I've used this brush with all kinds of different liquid formulas and I love that I can always count on even coverage without streaks! Starting in the center of your face, use circular motions to buff the foundation into your skin, and don't forget to blend into your neck and jawline! — 11 months, 4 weeks ago

I HATE it for FOUNDATION.
makeuploverx (7 reviews)

I do notttttt like it for foundation at all. Leaves it so streaky. But I use it for my under eye concealer. I first pack it on with my fingers then dab it with this brush and it works good! But for the whole face, no! And it gets dirty soooooo fast! — 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Best for Bad Days
kaitlyn_mary_bigleywillametz (18 reviews)

This is the best for days when my skin isn't having it's best day. It's great for full coverage without making the makeup look too cakey. — 1 year ago

Like a Sponge but without the Waste
Jamilla007 (117 reviews)

The MAC 190 is a great foundation brush, especially for cream foundations - you can lay down a very thing layer yet get good coverage and not look masky. Perfect! — 3 years, 5 months ago

Does Not Leave Streaks!
TzoneGal (90 reviews)

This foundation brush works well with any foundation (right now, I use it with Lancome liquid foundation). It picks up just the right amount and does not leave any streaks. You have to brush it a bit more around the nose area, but overall, a flawless finish. It builds up really quickly, so clean often, or you'll have a dried-out hard brush. — 3 years, 7 months ago

Nice brush
bellsnshells (24 reviews)

I like that it saves product compared to using the included sponge, the bristles are soft and never shed, either with applying makeup or washing the brush. I have had my brush for three years and its still working well, which makes it worth its cost to me. — 3 years, 7 months ago

Flawless finish
dharve03 (62 reviews)

This brush, applies foundation to your face softly and evenly. I am fully pleased with the quality, and that there is less product waste. The money I save in foundation, has more than paid for the price of this brush. I highly recommend it. — 3 years, 8 months ago
