THE BEST MAKE-UP BRUSH FOR FLAWLESS RESULTS

I used to think my foundation looked good until I discovered this amazing brush from MAC. As this has been one of my 'must-have' brushes for some time I thought do a little write up...

M.A.C 187 Duo Fibre Brush £29.50

If you're looking for a face brush that will provide you with a flawless result that leaves you with an air-brushed appearance then look no further. The capabilities of this brush are fantastic, it can be used for applying liquid foundation, powder, cream products, highlighters, blush, bronzer and more.

This brush is a must for professional bridal make-up application as it is perfect for building the right amount of coverage but leaving the skin still looking fresh and natural with a light-weight result that lasts all day.

Unfortunately, it is quite an expensive at £29.50 but I can definitely say its worth it and a real investment. If cared for properly and cleansed regularly then this brush will last you years. The amazing flawless complexion you'll achieve by using this brush is something you'll definitely be willing to pay a lot for!

I find when applying my liquid foundation by stippling and buffing with this brush that my base actually stays on longer as you create a more even layer that blends into your skin. The great thing is that you can easily build your foundation by applying a layer at a time and concentrate on the areas that require more attention to get a great full coverage. If you use your fingers you don't have this kind of flexibility and you tend to apply a thicker layer all over your face. I have also noticed that I use a lot less foundation when using this brush as opposed to my fingers or other types of traditional foundation brushes.

This brush makes applying foundation so much easier, all you need to do is squidge two pumps of foundation onto the back of your hand then tap the brush into the foundation giving it a little swirl to ensure the brush is evenly covered then stipple/buff onto skin with circular movements. I start with the cheeks, nose, and then blend the excess into my forehead and chin. It may take a little bit of practise and getting used to but once you have the knack of it you'll be amazed at the results you'll achieve. Take a look at YouTube for some great videos for application techniques, here's one I recommend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrf8Or2ECEU

MAC describe this brush as "A large full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of face powder or pigments. Use to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres." www.maccosmetics.co.uk/

I just want to finish by saying that there are others available.. but they simply do not compare to the 187! Please note that there are a lot of fakes out there to so make sure you purchase this brush from your local MAC counter or from www.maccosmetics.co.uk/.
