This is one of my favorite makeup brushes! I'm a bit of a makeup brush snob so most of mine are from Shu Uemura, Trish McEvoy or Bobbi Brown, but I do use a few select MAC ones and this is one that is irreplaceable!

The stippling brush is excellent for a variety of things from making foundation look more natural to applying blush. I tend to use it for blush, especially for my pigmented ones from NARS. It allows you to apply color and easily build it so it's not too heavy. Gives a lot of control over the look and covers a broad area over the cheekbones.

Definitely a must have and I prefer it to using a traditional blush or loose powder brush.

This brush is amazing for applying foundation. It gives a a seamless, airbrushed look. Your foundation never looks cakey and you can apply it as sheer as you want. Just put a little foundation on the tip and swirl in a circular motion on your face.

For the most part, I love this brush. It gets the job done, and it's as smooth as a babies bottom. The downfalls I will point out however, are the obvious big price tag all MAC Brushes come with, and the fact it does shed a little. However this brush sheds less than my buffer brush by MAC so this one is the #1 on my list of MAC Brushes I have tried. Goodluck!
