MAC 116 Brush



MAC Website describes it as:
Tapered for shading and highlighting cheeks and face with blush. The bristles on this brush are soft and form a full, rounded shape. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.

What I like:
  • the tapered shape is perfect for precise blush application
What I don't like:
  • expensive. I got it for Php 1700 from an online seller
  • it sheds :(
Is it needed or nice to have?

It's nice to have but it's a must for make-up artists who would like to cater to high end clients

Will I repurchase?


No. I actually find myself reaching out for the Elf Studio Line Blush Brush more for the reason that is has yet to shed. To tell you honestly I was surprised to see the Elf brush outperformed this MAC brush.

  1. I'm wondering why for 1.7k this sheds... I've used thebodyshop's marionnaud, japonesque, and elf brushes. All way cheaper than mac and none of them shed.

    I've also seen a lot of reviews on the mac duo fiber brush and it sheds too.

  2. True. My MAC 109, the first MAC brush I bought, sheds as well especially when used to stipple foundation.

    The shedding more or less set the expectation for this brush. However, investing on good brushes has its perks:

    1. you could resell them at a good price still
    2. it justifies your rate when you bump up your professional fee in the future
