168 v. 169

So, I'm looking to get some new brushes, and one of the brushes that gets the most use is an angled brush. I'm curious, which one of these is the better choice IYO? Is there an angle brush out there that blows both of these out of the water? Lemme know!

i own both the 168 and 169 and love them both. i use 168 for blush and the 169 for contouring. the 168 has got a fuller 'head' and is better for the application of blush and i find that the 169 is great for contouring because it is narrower. i tried using the 169 for blush a few weeks ago and it went a bit streaky. i think that overall the 168 is more versitile because its fantastic for either blush or contouring. hope this helps!
