What are the new brushes for? How do you use them?
I believe the 214 is a smudge brush, 226 is a crease brush, and the 165 is for more precision for powders/blushes?
214 is calling my name!
Hey christine,
I was just wondering if the 226 is less floppy than the 224!!?
Thanks!
I think it’s about the same, to be honest!
I am sooo eyeballing that 226.
Mine! Haha.
Holy crap -Chignon is MINE!!!
the bbabe l/s looks gorgeous, and the 214 looks interesting especially cuz mac has never come out with a brush like that i dont think
How much do the brushes cost individually?
I don’t have the prices on me, I’ll have to get back to you after I check my receipt!
The #214 brush is $ 23,00, the #226 brush is $ 24,50 and the #165 costs $ 34,00
I’ve just ordered the 214 and the 226, I’m very curious about the #214. I use the Laura Mercier or Nars smudge brush now and am very glad that Mac has finally released a real smudge brush!
Thanks for this info 🙂
I haven’t given the 214 a try yet, but soon hopefully!
214 is amazing.. i recommend for anyone.. it not only smudges, you can also use it to line!! essential for smokey eyes
Thanks for the input, Viviane!
Thanks Lushious Babe, christine & viviane for getting back to me about those lovely brushes.

I must try on all of these lipsticks.. they are beautiful!
Christine, how does Chignon compare to Pomposity? Do you know?
Nope, not similar at all, IMO!! Pomposity is really frosty/shimmery, and it is a brighter color in general.
I’m glad MAC has come out with the 165 – I have a Shu Uemura brush that is similar and it is the best for precision highlighting, especially with very shimmery products like the MSF’s.
I really like the 165 🙂
Could you please tell me which Shu Uemura brush is similar to the Mac 165?
Thank You
hi can i just ask what camera you use to take these makeup? thanks.
Nikon D90
Chignon l/s looks good!I have a similar brush like 214, it’s from Nars. It’s really good if you want to smudge your shadow or liner at the lash line and makes very precise line too!
Nice! A lot of people seem to have the NARS brush!
i got the strawberry blonde lipglass and im going to buy allsfair lipstick 🙂 its very pretty
Nice lip choices, Dedra!
That 214 is so cute!
i only got meself Blow Dry…
