[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this brush - one side is lighter and the other darker which is very smart - it can be used with different shades of blush. Bristles stay in (good quality).

I tried buying other brushes because didn't want to pay the MAC $. The other brushes would leave hairs all over my face and didn't pick up the powder to my face. MAC brushes are worth it and last!

Much better than I expected. Soft and easy to apply powder and blush on my face. For me, it is very useful and I will recommend it.

This is perfect for applying blush, it applies the blush softly and evenly. I have been trying to replace my old, worn out blush brushes. I ordered the cheek brush which is similar but it was denser and stiffer because the fibers are shorter. This brush is much appropriate for cheeks.

I really liked this brush but unfortunately I found it to be very cheaply made. I washed it with Mac brush cleaner which removed remaining make up on brush, however using the brush after cleaning was awful! May face had nothing but hair bristles all over it!! It is so bad I can no longer use the brush. Highly disappointed, I thought Mac claimed their brushes were well made and didn't shed - maybe, as long as you don't clean it!!!!

This brush was recommended by a MAC makeup artist to use with MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. It's perfect! I get much better coverage than I was getting with my previous brush, which was large and fluffy. I've also noticed that it gives me a more polished look, just as promised. A definite must have and, as a bonus, the size is perfect for throwing into a makeup bag.

I bought this based on the recommendation of the MAC artist when I got my Studio Fix Sculpt & Shape palette. I actually had a different brush in mind, but the artist suggested this one based on my face shape and bone structure. She was definitely right on!! I've never in all the years I've been doing makeup, had a contour brush work this perfectly. Gave me just the right amount of chisel, without overdoing it. Very easy to blend and this is one of the softest face brushes I've used. I highly recommend this brush.

I use it with either subtle highlighter or blush and it's great! one of my favorites!
