Focus On: MAC 184 Duo Fibre Fan Brush
MAC 184 Duo Fibre Fan Brush ($22.50) is a blend of both synthetic and goat hair fibres to create a flat, fan-shaped brush. It’s incredibly soft, lightly fluffy, and it doesn’t shed at all for me. It is a PRO only brush, but maybe they’ll bring it to freestanding stores someday. I like fan brushes like this one to apply a light dusting of loose powder or highlights (like an all-over highlight) to face and forehead, especially. I also find this useful in removing any product fall out under eyes. (One great tip is sprinkling loose powder underneath your eye, and then sweep it all away.) This brush isn’t in my top ten, but if your budget allows, it is definitely a handy and worthy-of-your-purchase kind of brush.
How do you like to use this brush?
See close-ups…
I don’t have one…shame on me.
Shame on you truly =p. This brush is awesome. Unlike other fan brushes it’s firm, not floppy, because it’s duo fiber yet it’s still light.
It’s a good brush, but it’s not like a superrr must have or anything
A great brush for applying bronzer to fair skin tones (like myself) and blending blush without lifting too much color off!
Thanks for sharing! I never would have thought to use this with bronzer!
I do want that brush!! I’ve been dying to purchase a fan brush and I hope someday that the freestanding stores will carry the 184 brush!
I hope you can get it soon!
AHH I WANT THIS SO BADLY!! The closest MAC Pro I live to is an hour and a half away. I have some questions about MAC Pro, though. If you go to the MAC Pro store, are “regular” people allowed to buy Pro only items such as this brush? Also, can you acquire a Pro card if you work as a director (my parents are both movie directors and I desperately want my mom to get a pro card!! Only if it’s possible, of course)?
Yes, regular people can buy whatever they want at the PRO store
I’m not sure about directors, but you can ask any MAC freestanding/PRO store (not sure about counters) for an application or you can visit macpro.com to learn more!
All you have to do is call the macpro store and you can purchase the items via phone:) No need for membership
I found this brush at my CCO yesterday and bought it! I was glad to replace my super old BeneFit fan brush!
Nice!!
Is this part of the permanent line cause I think it would be great with msfs!!
