Would welcome all feedback. I've warched tutorial after tutorial and unable to " get it". I usually end up with a mess in my face! I've dotted, done circular motions and nothing. I like the idea of pushing the product into skin. Also with blush and highlighters which are powder so maybe that is why I don't have ad much problem with them. Can someone break this down to me like a 6 y/o? lol..

I'm using the MAC 187.that I've had for years, but never used.

@ Ciara..I've tried using it with Foundation and CC & BB Creams. MUFE HD & Estee Lauder Foundation are the brands. I don't think it's the product, I think it's the person applying it. me! You never know though!

Wow, Jackie Thank You so much! Like I said purchased this brush more tham 10 years ago, now older and hopefully wiser I know there are numerous alternatives. Would you mind suggesting a non MAC brush that you know works? What about rhose flat topped brushes? Going to do makeup soon so excited to try again. When you are applying foundation do you stipple or use circular motions or both. Watched Wayne Goss video and he said when you stipple you don't use circular motions, but have watched other youtube videos that do both with beautiful results! Also can I use the same brush for bufging blush, hogjlighter etc..into skin or would ypu recommend another? I need to but new face brushes anyway.

Oh wanted to verify face brushes needed. Is it angled contour brush, blush brush, powder brush, stippling/ flat topped brush. concealer/detail brush, and kabuki brush?

I don't see much use from Kabuki brush but I could be wrong! Thank you so much!
