168 vs 169

[kayley123]

I have both of these brushes, the regular 168 from the permanent line (got it during the F&F just a bit ago!) and I swapped for a brand new LE 169 from the Raquel Welch Collection--I am wondering about opinions on which is better and why...If I only keep one of them, which would you recommend?

I have both and I really like both. The 169 brush is slightly bigger and more fluffier.. the 168 is is a bit more dense. I like the 169 for contouring and the 168 for blush/highlighter. it depends on what you will be using them for

I agree. ^^ I have both and I use them for two different things. I even use the 168 for foundation application. My Mineralize liquid foundation looks awesome with the 168. Its also good for highlighting. The 169 is more precise which makes it good for contouring but if you could only have one then definately the 168
