The Tartan's Tale Collection- Special Edition Brush Set 1




From top to bottom:

1)187- A duofibre brush is to apply liquid foundation .It's also called as stippling brush because you are going to use a stippling movements to achieve an airbrush flawless look to your face.It also great for powder/ cream blusher! This brush is most famous amongs all MAC brushes. P/S: I still feel a bit pricking when I use this to blend out my liquid foundation.

2)168-It is a contour brush but it's too small for me to contour a face... a bit disappointed too.. but it also can use as a blush brush. Because it's made from goat hairs, the bristles are more dense to grab more product and hold it in place to pat on the face (that means more sticking to the face). It won't be too soft bristles, so don't expect a superb smooth n soft feeling during application. If I compare with my Jill Stuart brush with same made from goat hairs... the Jill Stuart's wins!

3)252- It's a shader brush also but I'm surprise this is a bit harder than regular one.. The sales girl says it's made from squirrel's hair but I don't think so~ Incredibly, it wont have pricking sensation during application. In MAC manual says, it can be use for both powder shadow and cream shadow..

4)219- Actually this is the most i want to try out from MAC... The crease blending brush but I'm not so happy with the performance because it cause pricking sensation during application! It also made from goat hair, suppose to grab more product to blend.. my cheap pro blending brush is even better than this!

5)209- An eyeliner brush... you know.. nothing much can say. Just a regular one.

Overall, I think I do not like the goat bristles... it's too hard. The duofibre did create some mildly pricking sensation during application but it's alright for me as I expected. I'm happy with the big full size of duofibre brush which I crazy for it for so long...I would say, cheaper brand can perform as well as MAC. Depends on what kinds of brush you want ~
