1. MAC --  No. 187.
Duo-fiber brush. Used for face & cheek’s or dusting loose powder. Extra soft fiber. Large flat topped, full circular. Can use as foundation blending that’s ( liquid or pressed foundation, mousse foundation ). It give a very light application, but you can build the coverage as needed. Being a duo fiber it does not pick too much product. You have to lightly dab the brush over the foundation, like shown below and then apply all over face. Done a swatch ( how it pick’s the foundation on the bristles )
