The MAC 109 Dupe Brush
by Nazri on 24/08/2009I think I found the perfect dupe for the MAC 109. Well, maybe not perfect dupe since I don’t have the actual MAC 109 to make a proper comparison.
I’m talking about the Everyday Minerals Baby Kabuki brush! There are minor differences that are dead on but it worked flawlessly for me.
It looks like this,
I believed I watch Fafinettex3′s video on youtube and she said that, the MAC 109 is basically a mini kabuki on a stick.
It has that basic shape the 109 is infamous for. It’s like a dome shape and flat on the toppest middle part. The resemblance is strong ey?
I tried with my BB Creams.
It worked perfectly with the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream(Red tube) because the consistency of that cream isn’t so thick and I managed to buff ever so lightly onto my skin and produce wonderful results! However, the silver tube, the cream was very thick and I had a hard time trying to blend it all out.
This brush is my current favorite using with my BB cream. BB Cream are essentially like tinted moisturizer perhaps more thicker. I guess if it works for BB Cream, it shouldn’t have a problem working with liquid foundation though I have yet to try.
Take a few more looks!
Yes, the bristles are longer compared to the actual MAC 109. The other major difference is of course the length of that wooden stick. But seriously for just 9SGD, the price is amazing. As we all know, Everyday Minerals brushes are super soft, I’m not kidding. Look what happened to Kamelia when I convinced her to buy one! (I did right?) The bristles are insanely soft yet there is enough bristles to make the brush firm and it doesn’t give way when applying pressure.
Sadly, it has been discontinued by Everyday Minerals. I’m sure you can find it on eBay or by doing makeup swaps on Makeupalley or something.
