juicy: which macy's in SF is this? I am in SF too..

I'm going to check my counter this week to see if this will release early. Perhaps I can convince them to sell to me earlier as I'm going to NYC on Sat to work a fashion show for Fashion Week (if nothing changes). I'm supposed to be working with Deborah Lippman's group of nailtechs.

Hi!!

Glad to see you posting!!

I saw the 130 brush in real today - it is tiny!

Even smaller than the 188.

I would not use it for liquid foundation or MSFs. But I think this brush will be awesome for cream blushes.

 

[only1angel]

Smaller than the 188??? Is that possible? ahhahaha. Shoot, I guess I got all excited for nothing

I was hoping it would be bigger. Guess I'll stick with my Dior powder brush for liquid foundations until I find something better. I already use the 188 for cream blushes, so I won't be buying this brush now as I was only looking for a liquid foundation application brush.

i love it's size! it's good for highlighting and contouring too

i have only used it with cream products so far... but i might try it with liquid foundation even though people say it's not so great with that

Thank you for the info....I am really on the fence about it now...smaller than the 188?!? I use my 188 for cream blushes and I use my 109 for contouring and either my 187 or 116 or the 190 for foundation and the 131 for MSFs...not sure what this brush could add to my collection that I don't already have something else I can use....

I'm betting it'll be awesome for full coverage on trouble areas such scars and large pores or as Lou said, for contouring and highlighting.

I don't care it's tiny, I'm getting it!!

 

[Swirlgirl]

OMG! It *is* tiny.....Gah,. as hard as it is for me to skip a MAC brush, I think I'm going to pass this one! The 188 is about as small as I go for a face brush!

 

[*JJ*]

here are a couple comparison pics of the 130/187 brushes:

i like that it's tiny

and yes it is very firm and dense

it was quite expencive in the uk though - £27 but to me it is worth it because i will get lots of use from it

my sample of the foundation hasn't arrived yet

if it's not arrived tommrow i may ring mac again

i don't want to pester but i'm really not keen on buying it before i know what colour to get!!!

 

[Susanne]

I still have not made my opinion about the 130 - I think I have just expected something else! But this does not mean this one is bad now

Mmmm, that's too bad!!

You should definitely give them a ring, you are a valuable costumer who has every right to be happy with her purchases. MAC should not dare to make you unhappy!!

i too thought the brush would be different, more like the 188 i guess.
i don't consider the 130 a must have for everyone. i love it and i think it's amazing, but if you don't have this foundation or creme blushes i think you can skip it.

Susanne:

Do let us know what you think about the 130 when you get the chance to try it out with Studio Sculpt foundation or the new foundation.
