Brush for powder foundation?

[onecactus]

I just bought MAC's mineralize skinfinish natural in medium and plan to use it as a daily wear over my prep+prime.

What brush (MAC or other brands) would you recommend to use it with? I have the Quo blush brush which I think would work, but I'm not sure about using it both as a powder foundation and blush brush.

Thanks

I swear by Coastals Scents Kabuki on a Stick. I use it with both my MAC Studio Fix and Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powders...

Coastal Scents: Kabuki on a Stick (close to the Handy Buki Brush)

I like a regular, small size kabuki for my powder.

When I used MSFN as my powder foundation, I absolutely LOVED the MAC 182. It's absolutely perfect.

Any kabuki would work though - but the 182 is sooooooooo soft <3

I adore the MAC 187 for applying powder foundation. Works like a charm for me.

I second the 187!

I love Too Faced's Kabuki and MACs 129se. You can use both for powder, blush, and bronzer.

I really like Smashbox #19 for this.

An more affordable alternative is the ELF Studio Powder Brush.

Unless you want to clean your brush between every use, I suggest using a separate brush for blush and foundation. Just because you could end up with blus all over your face

I usually use a kabuki for my MSFN, I like the body shop's kabuki for its softness, but not for its ability to pick up powder.

I sometimes do that routine, prep and prime face and then msfn on my lazy days, and I think it gives a beautiful finish to the skin. However, my eyes are very watery, esp in winter and when my eyes run down my cheek I'm left with a foundationless stripe. Not very pretty

Try the MAC 182 kabuki, that's what i use.

Exactly what she said.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I think I'll look into the 182.... (although I've been spending quite alot of money at MAC recently... I'm broke!)

One more vote for the 182 or some other kabuki from me.
