MAC 190- The Perfect Foundation Brush?

The 190 is MAC's basic paddle-shaped foundation brush with synthetic fibers. It's nothing amazing- I just use it for initial application of my liquid and cream foundations... It does exactly what it's supposed to do- apply and distribute the product. But then if I want very even coverage and a flawless finish, I'll buff it out with either the 109 or the 187. The 190's size is perfect- It's big enough to get all over your face pretty quickly but it's small enough for detail work... Sometimes I'll use it to apply cream products like moisturizer, primer, cream blush or cream contour and highlight products... It's a good brush to have if you just need something to put your foundation on, but it's not completely necessary... And there are better brushes out there for foundation application. I just bought it to use with my MAC liquid foundations... And of course, we all know MAC brushes last a long time because they're very well-made, even though you can probably find something out there that'll do the same thing for much less... Let me know what you think about MAC's 190 :]

MAC PRO-LONGWEAR FOUNDATION: MY HOLY GRAIL!!!!

I am very happy to say that I HAVE FOUND MY HOLY GRAIL FOUNDATION!!! I have tried very many over the years, I've tried cheap drug store brands, and I've tried the most expensive department store brands. I've had custom foundations made at spas, and I've ordered foundations from all over the world. I'm glad to say, however, that I actually picked up my HG foundation at my local MAC counter that I shop at every week :]

Over the years, I've been looking for a foundation that not only looks normal, but that offers good coverage as well. I prefer a matte finish and I love the idea of buildable coverage, just because I wear less during the day, but put a lot more on when I go out at night or take pictures, or feel like I just apply a little bit more to be happy with how it looks.  Oh yeah, I also wanted something that would stay on ALL DAY.

This stuff is AMAZING!!!! I've always loved MAC foundations, even though I know that not too many people out there seem to like them. I don't seem to have a problem with breaking out, and I feel like MAC foundations always have a super nice finish that never really get too cakey on me. I love how this stuff seems to blend SEAMLESSLY into my skin. It gives me that perfect matte yet glowing look. I guess you really don't need to set this stuff with powder, because it sort of feels powdery once it sets on your skin. I don't get oily/shiny when wearing this stuff anywhere near as fast as I do when wearing other foundations. And, it has an SPF of 10, so it helps protect your skin too!

Pretty much, I love how MAC's Pro-Longwear Foundation looks, feels, and lasts on my skin. This is my favorite foundation ever :] Anyone else use this stuff? Is anyone else ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with MAC Pro-Longwear foundation? Tell me about it :]
