The thing to remember when using a stippling brush is to be gentle with it.

And it also just makes me look jolly )Īnd I love my Mac 187, because no brush can brighten up my cheeks the way this brush can. Anyways, because my high cheekbones accentuate my round face, blush is key for me – it helps bring out the dimensions in my face.

I know that’s generally a good thing, but it was a pain in the ass growing up when I couldn’t figure out why sunglasses never looked right on me. I’m Korean, which means I have really high cheekbones. Why would you use a stippling brush over a blush brush or kabuki?īecause the hairs on a stippling brush aren’t densely packed, it can do two things that make it unique: 1) it does a light application of whatever type of makeup you’re applying and 2) if you’re using it for foundation application, its use can result in an airbrushed look. I personally use this brush to apply blush, since I use my hands to apply my foundation. It can be used to apply foundation, blush, and powder. The hairs are typically spread out from each other and have a soft/bendy feel to the touch. One of my fav makeup brushes is my Mac 187. Mac calls it their Duo Fibre brush, but it’s more commonly referred to as a “skunk brush” (because the hairs are white on top and black on the bottom) or a “stippling brush.”Ī stippling brush is versatile brush made up of dual fibres that are not densely packed.
