The J104 is really nice but not my absolute favorite. It's really fluffy so it doesn't pick up a lot of product, and if you're using any powders that have a mesh screen (like MUFE HD or RBR Diaphanous) it's not firm enough to push the screen down to get to the powder. I actually use the black fan for the hourglass powders and it picks up a good amount of product and gives me a little more control over placement.

I haven't used the white one, but the quality of all the white goat hair brushes I've tried from them is fantastic! It may give a slightly heavier application but I bet it would work really well for how you want to use it.

thanks I ended up placing my order after 3 days of research I went with the fan brush because I wanted to use it with my hourglass powders and the hg brush for the powders is similar and I only wanted it for the hourglass powder so I feel I went in the right direction I'm still going to get the j104 or maybe the s104 for the handle lol I can't wait until my goodies get here because I went with the fan brush free up my money to order some others I had my eye on thanks again for your thoughts on the brushes

Love love love I had time to play with it soooooo soft it going to give u a very light coverage which I love I used to apply my blush today so natural and soft I don't have the mac 188 wanted it for the longest happy i held off because I love this brush its the j4002

What size is the ita brush? I love the J4002 i want the j4001 but i keep forgetting to order. For those wondering, it is much softer than the 188 and has thinner and more dense white fibers. its more flimsy than the 188. I post comparison pics earlier in this thread

Ok..The Mac looks so fabulous in pictures makes me think I'm missing out on something. You've seen my current collection, what do you recommend?
