Focus On: MAC 116 Blush Brush
MAC 116 Blush Brush ($32.00) is a natural-haired, tapered, rounded brush. It is smaller than the 129 Blush Brush, and it also feels a bit denser to me. It’s an incredibly soft bristled brush, and it does have some give, but it is still firm. The smaller size of this blush brush relative to other popular blush brushes makes it easier to control where you apply your blush, and it also picks up a good amount of color and deposits it on your cheek without eating it up. Since purchasing this brush, I find myself regularly switching back and forth between this and the 129, and I think I am starting to prefer the 116. I also like this with pressed powder to dust all-over. If you’ve been looking for a brush for more precise blush application, I’d urge you to consider the 116!
How do you like to use this brush?

I use this brush to my foundation (Studio Sculpt..), first I spray some Fix+ on the brush, then I dip the tip into some foundation and buff it in to the skin. Hardly any shedding (like the 109) unless you press it too hard.
It’s awsome for this, gives a perfect almost “photoshopped” skin.

How do you like Studio Sculpt, Tina? I just couldn’t get into it!

I don’t have this brush and decided not to get it since I use my 109. If I don’t get the 116 that I want then I may get this brush. Can never have too many MAC brushes.

Not the 116…I meant if I don’t get the 130. doy.

The 116 is really fab for blush – I think after using it more recently, it might edge out the 129 for me!

The 116 was the first MAC brush that I ever bought, about 4½ years ago. The quality is great, in all those years it never shed one hair. Great brush to have if you prefer a smaller blush brush like I do :)

Looking at the closeups and my own brush made me seriously consider changing it.
