I'll use mine for blushes; I already have an awesome foundation brush.

How to use the 187

Alright guys i bought the holiday face gift set and i was a little disappointed when i got my package cuz the brushes were so small. anywho i have heard a lot about the 187 and was really excited to get it but am a little confused as to how to use it. Why are there two layers of hair? What is the purpose of the black bristles that end before the brush does? are the black hairs supposed to make contact with my face?


sorry if these are dumb questions, but tia for those who know

Re: How to use the 187

the black bristles aren't supposed to come into contact ur face, well, when i use the brush it doesn't at least (unless i'm using it the wrong way )

Anyways, i use the 187 to apply my MSF's cos with this brush, it applies ur MSF (or blush or whatever ur applying) really lightly. I guess the black bristles are there to make the brush less dense. I'm not too sure though, i'm just guessing

Maybe u could check out this thread on the 187?

Re: How to use the 187

there actually isn't two layers. the white hairs are white all the way down, same with the black ones. the black ones are just shorter than the white ones, giving the look of a hair that is black at the base and white at the top.

the short black ones are there to space out the the white ones. this cause less hair to pick up product and less product deposited on the face. this makes foundation and highly pigmented products to go on shearer.

you can use it to apply cream/liquid foundation (giving an airbrushed looked), cream/powder blush (highly pigmented goes on lighter), MSF (it was launched with these initially), and pretty much any and every product you can imagine.

Re: How to use the 187

Hi I also got the Face brush set and my fave brush is the 187. I use it for my SFF foundation. I pour a bit on the back of my left hand, dab the tips of the brush into it and stipple (dab lightly all over) onto a section of my face. then when the brush is almost dry, I buff the fdn lightly all over. After I apply cream blush and my eyeshadow base, I again use my 187 to buff in my pressed Blot powder. I wash my 187 every night and it's gotten nice and fluffy. I love it so much I'm ordering a full size with my next order (mac.com or macys.com) Hope this helps!

PS I've also used this for blush and it's amazing how easy it is to apply deeply pigmented blushes.
