A late night Tweeting session has inspired me to write this post. What would the choice be if I can only have 1 brush? Isn’t that a tough question? For those of you who follow FD Twitter, you would know my answer. That one brush would be none other than MAC 138 Tapered Face Brush.
This brush is a domed brush with the softest natural fibres I’ve ever know with a slightly pointed tip and round chiselled sides. I gave a nickname to this brush - Brush Obor because it reminded me of the yellow flame burning in a torch. If I have to choose for only one brush, I think I can live with only owning this brush. It is specially designed to enhance your sculpting and shaping technique due to its chiselled side. The soft brush will follow your facial planes perfectly and make shaping and contouring an easy job.
It is the perfect brush for using any kind of blush. If you caught me saying that it is the tools that make all the difference in the blush, not the blush itself – I can say that line, because I have this brush. No matter how sheer the blush is, this brush can pick up the powder and deposit the colour onto my medium shade skin. No blush have fail me thanks to this brush. I deposit the powder using the chisseled side and the pointed tip for buffing and blending the blush.
This brush can also be used for Mineral Make Up foundation and Loose Powder. Use the pointed tip and apply the product in circular motion. The tip can also be used to apply highlighter on your cheekbone because it’s not too big in size.
So you get; foundation, powder, blush, contouring and highlighting. The perfect tools for a flawless face. How can I not manage with only one brush?
Now I would like to ask you the same question, what would it be if you can only have one brush to choose?

ms. deszel, brush ini mirip ya fungsinya sama mac 187? hmmm.. klo mnrt ms. deszel, apa sih yg ngebuat brush ini lebih oke dibanding yg 187?
thx bwt jawabannya..
uhmmm mine wud be Everyday Mineral’s LHK aka long handled kabuki. krn bisa dipake buat gue apply primer, foundie dan blush yg berwujud powder. tp bisa juga buat pressed powders. mungkin buat liquids ga bisa kali ya, but since i don’t use em ya ga pusing.
i love love love this brush, im sure heaps of people here do too =D
sementara ini, MAC 109, Mal. Buat foundie, bedak, dll gue bs lah pake tangan/sponge. Tp buat pipi, 109 ini paling nendang di gue.
Tp gue jd tertarik sm 138 ini. Ini brush yg dulu lo puja2 kan yah Mal? dah lama nih ga beli lenongan…mulai gatel gue.
hmmm, with its pointy tip, in a jam, i bet this could also be used for eyeshadow
from the brushes i have, i think if allowed to choose only one i would pick ke ecotools blush brush. whenever in a hurry, i actually just use this brush to apply everything, starting from loose mineral primer, foundie (liquid/mineral) to blush, to loose and cake powder, even tried using it for sunblock (ceritanya mo disiplin ala dundan)…
Brush MONAS ini namanya.
Btw, untung cuman “if”
me likey all the “if-i-could-only-have-1….” serial…oklah this is for face…how about for eyes?
compromising the “if only 1″..hehe
Alice — Kalo buat eyes malah gampang: 217! Habis perkara!
@dundan: the HG brush ya ..blend blend blend…hehe
Hwahahaaha… sori baru baca nih, Mal.
Yep, 58 bucks seem to be worth it for this brush. If i don’t find any shoes that fit my heart till the end of this month, then: “MAC 138, come to mama.”
