The amazing stippling brush - a must-have!

Ever since I started wearing foundation, I've wanted it to look even, natural and of course - airbrushed! At first, I thought I had to wear the right foundation to achieve the look and I slathered on tons of liquid foundation. But after all the applications - still no flawless skin. Grrrrrrr.

Then came my "ah-ha!" moment - I realized application must be the key! So after hearing a lot of hype about the 187 Duo Fibre Brush from MAC Cosmetics, I had to give the stippling brush a try. But man were they expensive!

Luckily, MAC had a holiday kit with one in it, yay for me! I've played with it for a little while now and I am completely in L-O-V-E with it. Not only has it given me that wonderful airbrushed look, but it has saved me a ton of foundation. Gone are the days of sloppy foundation fingers and thirsty sponges that soak up waaaaaay too much of my precious Laura Mercier!

Not ready to fork out the $42 dollars for the MAC 187? Try one of these below:

Take that brush and spray MAC studio mist foundation on it and VIOLA. The best airbrushed look :) My favorite product by MAC so far ... ended up getting the brush from Sephora though. How ironic!
