Focus On: MAC 191 Square Foundation Brush
MAC 191 Square Foundation Brush ($32.00) is a flat, square-shaped brush made out of synthetic fibres. It’s fairly firm, and the edge of the brush is fine and firm. Although it’s touted as a foundation brush, I prefer using this to apply creamy products like face primers, moisturizers, etc. I just don’t find it works nearly as well for foundation as brushes like the 109, 187, or 182. I do like the edge, though, because it can give you crisper lines when you want them, and it also lets you get into hard-to-reach areas like the nose. This is probably one of my least loved face brushes, just because I prefer so many others over it.
How do you like to use this brush?

I don’t have that brush and I will consider getting that brush sometime soon to use it with creamy products and primers.

It’s OK, but it’s definitely not a must-have!

I agree with you, I have this brush and it’s easy to apply foundation around the nose but I prefer other brushes for my face :)

Phew, I’m not alone!

I was stressing over not having this brush; I was thinking it would apply a very light application of foundation (which I like). However, considering it might be better suited for creamy products I might just pass on this unless it appears at the CCO and I can get it for cheaper.

It’s definitely worth holding out on if you can score it at a CCO!

I bought this brush over a year and a half ago and have only used it three times since purchasing. I honestly don’t know what to do with it. It’s pretty pathetic as a foundation brush in my opinion. I’ll try it with face primers/moisturisers and see how that goes.

LOL! I hope you like it with primers/moisturizers!

This brush is great for cleaning up the outer edge of the eye after shadow application for that ‘crisp’ sharp look.
The results are akin to that from the ‘tape trick’ but better, and it looks less harsh. Just dab the brush into some foundation or concealer and clean it up. Et Voila!
