If you are buying this expecting it to be a dupe of the MAC 187, please don't be fooled. This brush is HUGE and will not perform like the MAC brush. Also, the bristles are not as soft and since the bristles are big and long the brush will be all floppy and too large for your face. I did buy this, on sale at SDM, but I never use it and it just sits collecting dust. I hate this brush.
