MAC makeup brush question?

Question

Which brush would be best for applying face powder like MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish. The 134 Large Powder Brush or the 182 Buffer/Kabuki Brush?

Answer 1

I have the 182, and yes it's best suited for powder foundation application. I find it's too small/dense to set foundation.

Answer 2

Depends on how you wear it.

As a foundation then the 182

For setting make up, the 134

Then the 134 it is.

I find that kabuki brushes rub off the foundation you already have on.
