Face Brushes | Contour & Foundation Brushes | MAC Cosmetics (2025)

Professional makeup artists always carry a range of makeup brushes for blending, contouring and defining. A good quality foundation brush, concealer brush, contour brush and highlighter brush will make it easy to create immaculately smooth and flawless makeup effects. When used in conjunction with MAC eye brushes and lip brushes, you can achieve the flawless perfection of a runway model with a minimum of effort.

The great advantage of a foundation brush is that it doesn’t absorb liquid foundation in the way that a sponge does, so you can get the best value out of your foundation and concealer. A foundation buffing brush also assists with even coverage, so your foundation doesn’t end up getting clogged or caked. For an airbrushed-like finish, apply a few drops of a liquid foundation - we recommend MAC Studio Radiance Face and Body - onto a stippling brush and quickly dab it into your skin. MAC makeup brushes are made from high quality synthetic fibres, and they are crafted specially to offer maximum precision.
