MAC Masterclass Brushes
Descriptions from MAC:
Oval 6 Brush (the large oval) $42.00 USD
Ideal for blush, foundation or powder, the rounded, medium-sized brush applies, blends and contours all over the face or cheeks for even, flawless coverage.
Oval 3 Brush (the small oval) $32.00 USD
The ultimate multipurpose tool, with an elongated oval shape and slightly pointed tip. Smoothly shades and blends powder or cream eye shadows, powder, and liquid or cream concealer in the hard-to-reach contours of the face.
Linear 1 Brush (the smallest brush) $25.00 USD
With a short, narrow shape, the brush delivers a firm, precise stroke to line lashes and lips. Also defines and fills brows.
There is no PRO member discount for these brushes (PRO members will pay the full retail price). Each brush comes with the exact same cleaning instructions: "Using a soft cloth dampened with [any brush cleanser or rubbing alcohol], gently wipe brush head back and forth over the damp cloth to remove residual make-up. Allow brush to dry facing up."
Here's the info from MAC HQ on these brushes:
"M∙A∙C introduces a unique, breakthrough range of brushes that deliver a high level of performance and revolutionize personal makeup application. Ergonomically designed for even and effortless application, lush, silky, synthetic fibres are engineered to expertly pick up and apply product seamlessly. The brush handles feature a special grip design and a tilted brush tip for ultimate precision. M∙A∙C store exclusive."
"Introducing an ultra-modern range of unique brushes that delivers a high level of performance and revolutionizes personal makeup application. Ergonomically designed for even and effortless application, lush, silky, synthetic fibres are engineered to expertly pick up and apply product seamlessly. Available in three sizes, Linear 1, Oval 3 and Oval 6 feature a special grip brush handle designed for absolute control, and a tilted tip that keeps fingers and hands out of the way for ultimate precision."
Part of the Q&A with Nick Gavrelis Vice President, Global Product Development at MAC included the following (which is the part I found to be the most interesting):
Q. What are the catalysts that inspired the Masterclass Brush Collection development? What makes the design so revolutionary? Can you expand on the technology and materials used to create the handle and brush fibers?
A. Several years ago, we in Artist Training and Development began to think about how to re-design a makeup brush to make self-application more effortless and consistent for both the right and left handed individual. Research took us back to the origin of brush design, when the brush handle was made of twig or bone and the brush head was comprised of feather, human or animal hair. These brushes were used (with primitive paint) to record events and stories. Eventually, the brush was directed toward the face to give early man and woman another outlet for creative expression. The Masterclass Brushes were created with these early brushes in mind
In this collection, the brush head and handle are meant to run parallel to the face, instead of having to point the brush towards the face. The durable yet flexible metalized plastic composite handles have rubberized grips for comfort, and therefore, greater ease. All three Masterclass Brushes utilize a new type of synthetic bristle, Cosmefibre, which is a proprietary combination of materials, dyes, coatings and configurations. This yields an application like one would expect from only the finest natural luxury bristles. - Навчання та стиль
Wonderful review. Blah Blah Blah ... i just like to watch your mouth move. Is that wrong lol ;)
Not at all... maybe I should do a video series pronouncing every vowel sound in different ways: covered in whipped cream, in a bathroom stall, etc. Food for thought anyway ;)
Dustin Hunter ***** OMG YT makeup icons! Slay!
This comment made my day!! :) what a naughty devil you are Wayne !
He does have a pretty mouth!...those lips! ...wayne, you crack me up!
Dustin Hunter yes! You should lol!
The music in this video is super chill. I want to take a nap now
YESSSSSS! Thank you!
I am sitting here with a very fussy little girl on my lap. I put the video on and she fell asleep. Your voice is so relaxing to listen to. Love your videos dustin! Also this review gave me a thought: i would love to see you design your own bruises.
Preach it, Dustin! I am also someone who is constantly frustrated with makeup application because I am blind as a bat and also need to really get up in my mirror's business to see anything I am doing. When I can I try to buy short handled or travel-sized brushes, but for the most part I just don't even bother with fine-details (especially eye makeup) because its always a nightmare. I'd love to see more brushes with this style of handle on the market.
Oooo these look awesome! Great review hun, I'm blatantly ordering them now ;)
Background music wigged me out. Thought my remote was broken until I realized it was the video LOL. Great review!
I love the ominous bg music. These brushes sort of remind me of those centuries old big ass powder puffs with the handles.
As a Make-up Artist who uses the standard brushes and as a performer who applies make up everyday of my life for work. I totally agree in what u said. Not that I am not up for new things. I am always in every sense. I think these brushes needs a revised or a better design, shape and feel. Not just a funky design but something I'll spend my money on and will be a necessity on my kit. Thanks for the review. You are awesome!
You are extremely eloquent and your review is so in depth. Thank you x
Thank you very much for the detailed review!
Excellent review
your reviews are perfect! i love your style! thank you so much for taking the time to make such detailed videos on them expensive products that i would only buy if theyre just the way i expect them to be
Was very interested yet skeptical abuot these brushes; great review as always! Thank you, Dustin!
Outstanding review. What fabulous points. Thank you!
Great review!!
Great review
I'm quite pleased I'm not the only person so short-sighted that my nose hits the mirror... When I saw these I just thought "wtf" and I hadn't even THOUGHT how it will stop the handle hitting the mirror issue! GENIUS! I just wish they got the shape right, but kept that handle and applied it to all their standard eye brushes, because I can't wear glasses for that part, but I CAN for cheeks and contouring (and do for most of it unless I'm going right up behind the arms of my specs. I can't wear contacts as they disagree with me, so all eye make-up application involves nose meeting mirror every time...
Slightly OT, the new background music you have.. I find it a little off-putting. I'm not sure exactly why, and I appreciate that you mix things up and change them regularly, but something about this background music distracts me and confuses me a little on every video, but I could be really odd. (well I know I'm odd, but yes). Somehow it gives me a headache. I think it's possibly because it's just loud enough to hear but it makes me concentrate and strain to hear if that makes sense? (still 100 times preferably to extremely loud music and quiet voice like some videos!!) Just a bit of feedback on it for you... probably unwanted!
Love love your soothing voice ! This was the first video I've watched of yours and am looking forward to seeing more today !!!!! Thanks!!!!!
thanks for the review!
I love your music but I am so glad you are back. I have missed you!
great review..thanks
omg I just cannot believe it.. for the first time in my whole life I am not tempted by a makeup brush, this is history for me ^_^. You did an amazing review and your zoom is fantastic well done, really informative. Thank you Dustin!
I totally didn't think of the mirror part. I'm blind too it's so genius. I fell in love with you you're so informative! New subbie!
Thank you for the info... You are the best.
I am very intrigued! Thanks for giving us the breakdown! ...for some reason, I keep picturing a 1930's actress using these!
thanks this is a by far the best review on the brushes i have al of them the best one a think is the oval 6 for foundation
Just found your channel and love it! The depth you go into really helps me get the just of the product. Thank you and can't wait for more vids and to watch the others :)
Such a balanced and informative critique. Enjoyed watching this so... Thank you :-)
You know what I don't understand? Everything you've said is what I thought when I first saw them. But Wouldn't they have had makeup artists testing the prototypes? I can't imagine that anyone else wouldn't have have the same issues. Or did they skip the testing phase (which would have been really dumb)? I just don't understand. I'd they were bringing out these new brushes they should have been tested up the wazoo!!
***** Mandy Cummins I know Dustin stopped review MAC's limited edition collections like last summer or something because the products were so failtastic. So I really don't think they are testing things thoroughly before launching them.
I had such high hopes for these! I have actually broken a very expensive magnifying mirror with a brush before .
Super valid points!!!
Love oval 3 for putting down a transition color flawlessly without a whole lot of blending! The color stays true as well so I don't have to hit the pan for more product during application. Off to grab oval 6 after the holidays
Cool video! First time I see them and looks interesting!
LOL, "it's ok, go ahead and get it out of your system.." too funny! Thanks for the laugh. Always love watching your videos.
It's such a great point that the shape of the brushes is good for glasses wearers. I wear contacts, but I've always wondered how those who wear glasses apply their makeup because I'd have the same issue as you where the brush handles would hit the mirror, my eyesight is also quite bad. I'd seen photos of these brushes, but that point hadn't occurred to me.
Oh my gosh! That's so true! Knocking up against the mirror!
When I do my make up, my contacts always go in last. So this is why I've always favored inexpensive brushes, because they tend to have much shorter handles.
your voice and the music in the background is sooo soothing. =) love watching your videos.
that looks like something i would use to scrub my feet
I would love that u put more videos up there please
Thx off the review!
Oh my god you were literally talking to me about the blind thing lmao. I cannot do my makeup at all without contacts because if I have no contacts or glasses my nose no word of a lie will touch the mirror before my face isn't a mess of blurs anymore and at that point I can't see my whole face anyway because I'm too close lol. The brush hitting the mirror thing is soooooo true and it's horrible. Thank god for contacts.
Those brushes are so unique, but I don't think I could ever incorporate them into my personal makeup routine.
I didn't think about that about the whole wearing glasses cause i have the same problem. Great review :) btw my 10 month old daughter loves your voice.
you can look at them and see the shapes are off....again love your video- and your voice! x shelly
'my face is not concave like these brushes think that it is' made me laugh out loud
Comments on glasses: welcome to my life! I am a -10 short sighted person and I cannot wear contacts. I will definitely be looking at those brushes!
Dustin, are you planning on doing a tutorial with these? I'd love to see how they function!
I love ur reviews!! And these brushes are good tbh and the music is just amazing!! If the link is not in the description box can u send it to me pleasee !!
Old video so I don't know that you'll see this but... I hadn't really thought seriously about these brushes till you pointed out how they could work for people with glasses. My eyes are so bad contacts won't work. I just can't do my eyes with a lot of detail because I can't see well enough. So maybe these would help.
MAC should find themselves privileged, and at such an advantage to have you on a consulting panel. I am, also, blind as a bat. The magnifying mirror I use is great, however, I still must sit very close to it, or I appear upside down, of course. My brushes are forever striking the mirror and have caused many near misses of a poke in my eyes. So, this concept is very intriguing. Yet, it appears some kinks need to be worked out. You could really help them out with this. We Virgo are sticklers for detail. LOL! Thanks for the info.
the big one reminds me of those really fancy brushes that women used to put on their vanities.
NEW SUBSCRIBER! THANK YOU THANK YOU! YOU'RE AWESOME
I, too, have problems with brushes hitting the mirror, which drives me mad. I think I will wait and see if MAC tweak these brushes and address the problems you mention before I consider buying, though. Thank you for reviewing these.
I ALWAYS bonk my handles on the mirror! I thought it was just me HAHAHA!
Can you do a video about you use these brushes ?!
They really should consult with you on all future projects!!! X
Did I already tell you that you just saved myself some money !!! I was really curious about these, but not for me :-))) Really great review!!!! xo Cornelia
oh man. I love
I'm kind of liking the brushes, I want them for my own face, would you do a tutorial using them?
yes! the glasses thing! that's why I have a 20x, a 15x and a 10x mirror 8/
I really think the idea of these are cool, esp since I wear glasses its pretty tough to put on makeup w/o them on lol
Great Review ! : )
OMG!!I have the same problem you have with the brush handle hitting the mirror situation! I can only use travel size brush since they have shorter handles....*sigh*
oh man. I always love your reviews! I hold your opinion as highly as I hold Lisa Eldrige's! You should definitely be behind curating, or at least testing, new products for companies!
The first thing I thought when I looked at them was 'but...how do you clean them if you're not meant to get the roots of the bristles wet so the hairs fall out????'
I agree with you on the length of that 'eyeliner one', ridiculous and not thought out very well. To the point where I think, did they test these AT ALL?
They're like the brushes from the 30's!!
Wow crazy lookin brushes. Dustin can u PLEASE do a review on Wayne Goss' s new brushes? I love Wayne and I love his brushes but my opinion my be jus a lil biased, so can u hive your HONEST opinion of them? Luv ya Dustin. ♡
Being a painter the idea of those handles confuse me. The bristle shape/length I do really like, but oh boy, the tilt of them would be so awkward to work with. I could never imagine doing my brows with something like that. But the large one would be very nice for personal foundation/concealing.
tarababyz mentioned you in her review of the brushes, so i had to check it out. thanks for the vid
What is the music? it's so calming.
I'm totally blind without my glasses, too, but I never have a problem with brushes because I just use a small compact mirror. Much easier to manoeuvre the brush handle away from the mirror surface.
Hey Dustin!! I'm looking into getting like the perfect all over face brush.. something I can use for my ambient lighting powders (since I am completely obsessed with them now Haha) to my blush bronzer and foundation ..etc.. Doesn't have to be from the masterclass line either... just in general. ;)
These look pretty awesome, especially the face brush, for blind me. I am so glad I recently just got contacts! I was getting so sick of doing my eye makeup two inches from a mirror and then putting on glasses and hang no one see it. I hope the take you constructive criticism and revamp them, but knowing Mac they will probably just move on to another half ass collection.
as a glass wearer myself I am extremely curious to try them...
It is just so happened that I've been to the MAC store yesterday with my friend and I asked to see those brushes, the first word that came out of my mouth after getting the feel of them is, wow ,they are so dens!!to the point where I felt that I couldn't see myself able to do anything with them:( They do look amazingly interesting but don't know if its worth the try...
Great review! Unfortunately I'm so blind not even these would help me to apply makeup without contacts :))) ...the whole review I kept thinking these would be so great for you to comb out or tint your beard a bit...sorry but that's what kept going through my mind the entire video :)))) ...by the way, love the natural hair look on you, charmingly serious ;)
I need the foundation brush
Thanks Dustin I was very curious about these but there is not a single pro store in my state! Smooches from lokitty72
I feel like this is my constant refrain with MAC "it's not there yet." I really wish they would allow more time for testing and feedback in their release cycle. I feel like they're constantly rushing things to market and it's not doing them any favors. But as always, I loved hearing your take on it.
i feel like it was there 10-15 years ago and then they left it..... there 15 years ago
llllllllooooovvve you videos!
I've been reading really bad review on these ones. I thought that maybe that was because people don't know how to use them. And then I saw your video. Oh gosh, I really wanted to like them! I have the "handles on the mirror" issues too... :(
Ok, let's wait for some improvements... ;)
Love! :*
Hi Dustin I'm fairly new to ur channel I was going thru on some of ur videos I think ur amazing I have a request if u can I was watching the new video from riahanna and her song : what now I'm luving the eyes is there maybe a way u can recreate it Ty so much!!!
I think, even thought I wear glasses, I'm going to stick to my brushes, face up against the mirror. lol
Omg I have problem too brush handle hits the mirror and the brush poke me in the eye too
you should totally wright to mac and let them know all of your points are amazing . they should of did a beta testing set .
These brushes are very intriguing to me from the moment ive saw them on IG.. even though they are PRO and im far from that, i would love to try them myself but .. I think i will get the foundation brush # 6 just to check it out! :) thanks or the review !! :D
I bought the set and they are just so scratchy... I do like the larger one for foundation
jung saem mool, a makeup artist from korea, has a brush similar to this :)
why didn't you do a demonstration :) ?
Very cool concept, but I see the whole oval shape being a problem. Don't really see myself using them, however would like to try, you never know.
OMG this is funny my mother said wtf is that a tooth brush cause she was a dentist lol and your right I didn't buy them because of the angle I figure it be hard to blend but I'm gonna still buy it lol haha
nice for exfoliating your skin! =D
I agree with Wayne ⬇️
Argg. Playback error on iPhone. Curses!
One of them is like a toothbrush... hahahhaha
I don't know........ i don't think those brushes will work for me!... anyways, good review as always!
Did u read how to use these correctly? At all?
How Can you afford all Those High end stuff??
Sir you are handsome!
