I have been a huge fan of M.A.C brushes for a long time, ever since my first touch of the fabulous brushes about five years ago. I have used and seen many of their brushes, but this one is by far the coolest.
The M.A.C 187 Duo Fiber Brush, or “The Skunk” brush as it’s known as it resembles a skunk’s tail, is the ideal brush for applying liquid foundation and giving you an airbrush finish. Best of all, it really works!
“It contains two types of hair; longer white hairs to deliver the product and shorter black hairs to buff the product into the skin” says National Training Manger fro M.A.C Cosmetics Robin McBroom.
“Effectively, the harder you press, the more blending you achieve. Apply the product to the tip of the brush and gently move it in smaller circles over your skin. The brush almost polishes the skin as it moves, resulting in a beautiful, seamless finish to the skin” says Robin.
I love this brush because you can use it to apply your liquid foundation and also to follow up with your pressed powder, which will help set your makeup. Another tip I found researching this brush online is that you can use it to dab foundation lightly onto the skin and then follow the dabbing with small, circular motions as Robin recommends.
It’s fab-dab-bulous and a must if you’re after polished skin that looks picture perfect.
Plus, if you’re a travel bunny, leave your 190 foundation brush and your blusher brush (which I’ll cover next week) at home and take only the 187 brush along. As mentioned you can use it to apply our liquid foundation, powder and can even use it to apply your blusher. Just make sure you clean it properly before each application.
This brush can be used with the following M.A.C foundation formulas
- M.A.C Powder blush
- M.A.C Studio Moisture Fix SPF15
- M.A.C Mineralise Skinfinish Natural.
