How to wash? I am lucky mine is still as good as new. what I do is I mix Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo with a very gentle liquid detergent (I'm using ivory) then I mix it with water, and wash it gently. For this stippling brush, if there's just so much liquid foundation, I use the cleansing oil first to remove the liquid foundation, then use the shampoo + detergent method. Mine is still as good as new and still ok :) thank goodness :)AskMeWhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359673503017616620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-47525052717239067262009-10-28T12:01:44.928+08:002009-10-28T12:01:44.928+08:00Anonymous, so sorry you have to go through all the...Anonymous, so sorry you have to go through all the trouble for a fake one!<br /><br />Another Anonymous, thanks for the additional information, I didn't think about 134, I have to check if we got it down here, thanks!AskMeWhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359673503017616620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-3667709308347657432009-10-28T10:20:09.605+08:002009-10-28T10:20:09.605+08:00hi Nikki! =) I'm getting my 187 for Php2300 in...hi Nikki! =) I'm getting my 187 for Php2300 in Taiwan!

I was like "huh? my make up is brown"... unlike what I've read from other dupe 187's, it didn't smell bad because my makeup was overwhelmingly good smelling..hihi... However, I didn't want to admit this because it looked like the real thing and it feels so soft, BUT........

I'm not sure if I wanna use this yet, even though I do use liquid foundation. I guess I'm still old school and prefer using my fingers and a makeup sponge :) <BR/><BR/>I do have the Silk Naturals brush, which is supposed to be the dupe of the 188. Have no idea how to use it, don't know why I bought it. I've never even used it, but just running my finger over the bristles, 3-4 hairs shed. Not a good sign, ladies, for those who wants to get it. <BR/><BR/>As for the MAC 187 shedding, what the heck is wrong with MAC brushes shedding? So's my 150!
