Hi all
I would love the large version of the fibre brush. My friend has one and I love it
I used the kabuki for the foundation then the large fibre for the perfecting powder and it gave me a nice (even more so) airbrush look

Foundation: 1: baggie 6: ebony: 7 glow
Fav blush: Steller
Fav Lippie: Symphony
Fav combo: cream 1st half of lid, 09:59 2nd half, chocolate twinkle in the crease with Blackheart over it blended out and vanillia on brow bone.

187 Duo Fibre Brush
A large full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of face powder or pigments. Use to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres.
18 cm
US$42.00
MAC's 187 brush is often considered to be the HG of stippling/duo fibre brushes. Due to its price, many have searched for dupes of it.

Hmmm.Thanks! Not for me. The Soft-Focus Face one (BE) that I use for finishers is all synthetic & no dye.

Sarah, have you checked EBS? They have a big FO Kabuki for $11
I use the baby version as a blush brush (and SN's FO as a glow brush)
*They also have an AOFB that looks very much like the mac one but it's out of stock right now. Listed at $25

I would love to have a dupe of the MAC 187 brush.
Has anyone tried the ones featured from EOB? I saw those on the site. I have the kabuki FO sitting in my cart (plus some others) but I am hesitating.
I do own two fibre optic brushes from Lumiere and while I like them, I don't want to order from there.

Well- I sent a sample to a brush manufacturer. It will take a week or so before I can find out if it's in my price range- and then to get them custom made it takes a few months. This time of year is their slow time- so it may be sooner- but I'm working on it!

I'm eager to know to... I LOVE my small FO brush that I got from Karen. And I just know I would love applying finishing powders and primers with a LARGE one. An all over face brush but without the density of those paddle brushes.
Any word? Please? With sugar?
