I had a brush with a skunk today! and yesterday. and the day before that. actually two skunks. The first was the MAC 187 Duo Fibre brush ($42), lovingly referred to by some as “the skunk brush.”
Beloved by bazillions of MAC-aholics (like me), this black-and-white classic has a way with foundations, in particular, and can produce an practically airbrushed look.

Have you ever discovered how often it appears as a repromote in MAC’s seasonal brush kits? Yup, this stinker’s a popular product, and I like it, too, but I choose its often overlooked little buddy, the 188 small Duo Fibre face brush ($34).
With bristles fashioned from a blend of goat hair and synthetic fibers, this flat-top circular brush, a member of the MAC permanent line, excels at lightly applying liquid and powder products. The brush head is about half the diameter of the 187’s.
Толкова меко!

It’s one of my many frequently used charm tools, and I reach for it daily to…
Apply liquid foundation. It’s not a heavy-handed brush and never leaves telltale brush marks on my skin, yet it’s still able to cover everything flawlessly.
Blend. I also use the 188 to blend under-eye concealer into my foundation, which I think it does seamlessly.
Apply powder blush. To give my cheeks a light flush, I swirl the 188 to apply powder blush on the apples of my cheeks. I don’t really use it for cream blushes or cream highlighters, though, as the soft, flexible fibers struggle to pick up denser products.
Apply powder highlighters like the MAC Mineralize Skin Finishes. I typically wet the brush first with a little MAC Fix+. together I think the pair give a really pretty glazed look to skin.
While the 188 and 187 can tackle numerous of the same jobs, the 188 just suits me better. I feel I have much more control with the smaller brush head, and it fits into the tight spaces around my nose and chin.

If you wear liquid foundations, liquid highlighters, powder blushes and/or powder highlighters often, consider adding the multitasking mini-skunk 188 to your makeup kit.
Your friendly neighborhood charm addict,
