Focus On: MAC 195 Concealer Brush
MAC 195 Concealer Brush ($22.00) is a small, flat brush with synthetic fibers. It’s shaped like a severe, tapered dome. It was launched with Studio Sculpt, so it is designed to work with concealer products, but it can be used with any emollient product as well. I’m not a huge fan of this brush, just because I don’t feel it does a stellar job of applying or blending concealer. It’s flat and firm, though the bristles have give so they can bend easily. It picks up product and places it well, I just find that it can leave some streaks behind if you’re not careful. The best way to use this brush when applying concealer is using a tapping method rather than a pulling/blending method. I know some have complained about this brush being scratchy, though I have not personally found mine is like that. If anything, I prefer this brush for applying eyeshadow bases (paints, paint pots, what-have-you) over concealer.
How do you like to use this brush?

I find it is great for applying eyeshadow, loose and pressed.

I use this brush to apply concealer under my eye but I find that its hard to clean off the cream residue. Do you have any tips. Does it happen to you too?
thanks and I love your site!

I use MAC’s brush cleanser or Cleanse-Off Oil, both work really well at removing build-up!

I was told by an MA to buy this for pigments. I did and it’s awesome for that. I’m not loving it for concealer so I will try the 194.
