your brushes are really expensive considering they are synthetic made brushes and not a name brand and I bought some and am not impressesd, they're not great, u can find great cheaper brushes at Sigma. I also have all the Mac brushes and all the most popular Sigma brushes and some of Korens and I tell u Sigma are the best ones to buy if u can't afford Mac. Mac is also not the only brand who makes a great duo fibre brush, I love my Laura Mercier duo fibre brush more than the Mac 187.
@studpolicesexy you're so ignorant it's funny, his brushes are NOT better than Mac. I have some of his brushes and I was disappointed in the quality. I like Koren but his brushes are cheaply made, not good quality and very much too expensive for what u get. Mac brushes are not synthetic brushes and they are great quality hand made brushes, there really is no comparison, even Koren can see that, why do u think even HE uses Mac brushes instead of his own, he knows, he's just trying to make money.
Open to anyone who knows... i just realized some of my mac brushes on the very bottom say Japan and France, I got a few of them as a gift and some I bought from the store.... hope the gifts werent dupes how disappointing...
I noticed its been a while since you last did a review on any of the Coastal Scents palettes and although I know there are other reviews on it by other gurus, I would love to have your opinion on them, especially the 42 matte / shimmer and the 88 warm. Is there a chance I might see that in the near future? Thanks a million in advance :)
Koren Great video and review. I picked it up the day the collection came out. I didn't want to miss it. 131 is a great brush and I've had no shedding. I've had some of my MAC brushes for 9 years and they are almost like new. I think this one will last just as long or longer. :)
Do not use conditioner cause you gonna get lot of buildup over time and your brushes will not perform as they normally would. Just wash your brushes with a mild babyshampoo. You'll have your brushes for years! :-)
I have been looking for a good synthetic line of brushes and I have been eyeing yours. Now, you mentioned that your brushes are synthetic; however I have heard that they have silk fibers in them. Silk is natural (and more importantly I'm allergic.) So are they completely synthetic?
nope - they are complete synthetic, with the exception of the Duo-Fiber Kabuki. I used to have silk, but I only carried and sold 1 dozen, then i decided to do 100% synthetic.
Thank you for all your super informative videos. I know you said you love MAC brushes, I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of Shu Uemura Brushes versus Mac brushes? I want to invest in a great set , but unsure of which brand to splurge in! All the best!
thanks for review koren :)) could you please also do review on something u got from makeup show called Ruby Room Be strong spray ,i just need to know where you get it from ?
wow!! thank you so much for the tutorial! I was contemplating getting this brush but I've decided that I'm going to get this brush as well as the 189.
Right on maracuchita83! Koren is thorough and I appreciate that! Luv u Koren... I got a pic w/u at IMATS... urlyktl wouldn't know anything about that!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
please talk less! u talk too much and u say the same thing 200 times! thats why ur vids r sooo long! talk less and just give the information one time! e-d-i-t-i-n-g!
luv u, but ur vids just got too long and with too much talking
dude, this video was seriously hi-def.... without even clicking the HD button! awesome camera!
WHOA $40 for a brush?! cheez-its! I don't see myself needing another duo-fiber brush anytime soon, but when I do, i'll totally keep this review in mind!
i like my 131 soo much i and i found that i didn't have any shedding when i deep cleaned it :) i fing that it is dense but it doesn't pick up too much colur and is goood for foundation becaus eit gets into the nooks and crannies:) i really would reccomend it :) the enkore makeup one is probably nice to but i would rather spend $40 on a brush then buy one for less then not being completely satisfied then spending money on the more expensive one but that's just my oppinion :)
so in order to stop MAC brushes from shedding i need to condition them? Is there a special conditioner for brushes or is hair reg conditioner do?? Thanks soo much this has been a problem with my mac brushes!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't think conditioner will prevent shedding, but it does prevent breakage. i'm sure make up companies sell special brush care products, but hair conditioner is a good alternative if you're on a budget.
I believe EnKore even has a video to make your own blush cleanser at home, and hair conditioner is one of the ingredients.
I really appreciate it that you are still reviewing other products and that we do have an option to use yours which are less expensive - it is good to hear "ALL" options. Thank you so much
Sorry, I accidently hit my mouse and hit one star, but thanks a bunch for the review i've been eyeing the 131, this review was really helpful it answered my main question, about the results you get from this brush.:)
Wow Koren... I wasn't expecting your brushes to be that much lol -.-... I was kind of shocked.
