The 196 is more sharply slanted, which makes it fantastic for carving out contour or getting very close to the eye area, but it doesn’t naturally hug the curves of the face quite as well as the Oval 6 and 170 brushes do. In my opinion, the 170 is more similar than the 196 because the brush fibers seem to be nearly the same and are incredibly soft and smooth, as well as tapered and domed.

I don’t like that fact that the box seems to be a waste of materials, but it does give this brush a more luxurious first impression.ĭupes: As I mentioned earlier, the two brushes I’ve found to be most similar to the Oval 6 that are made by MAC are the 170 Synthetic Rounded Slant Brush and the 196 Slanted Flat Top Foundation Brush. It’s so dense that you don’t get a lot of product seeping into the depths of the bristles either, as I’ve found with some other foundation brushes, so that cuts back on how much product you have to use, as well as makes it much easier to clean!Īs far as packaging goes, this comes in a very sturdy box, rather than just having a sleeve on it. This brush does not seem to use up nearly as much product as a Beauty Blender, especially with liquid foundation.

This type of handle is amazing for personal application but it makes it difficult to use on other people, so this is not a brush I would recommend for a kit or professional use. Due to the shape of this brush, it’s made from plastic rather than wood (since it doesn’t have a metal ferule), but I like that because I find that it holds up really well and comes clean more easily. The main difference between them is that the 170 and 196 are both made in the typical brush fashion, rather than having a slanted, ergonomic type of handle like the Oval 6 does. It’s a medium size, comparable to MAC’s 170 and 196 brushes, which are also very dense and can be used with creams and liquids.

There are many other uses for this brush too… I’ll go into detail about using it with different formulas and types of products below, so keep reading if you’re interested in how to use this brush! It’s dense, synthetic fibers are perfect for buffing out foundation, concealer, or cream blush, while it can also be used for gentle stippling if you need a little extra coverage in some areas. The MAC Oval 6 Brush is ideal for applying liquid, cream, or powder products.

But back to the price… I know $42 seems sort of high for a brush, but something like a MAC 187 brush costs the same, and considering that the Artis Oval 6 sells for $57 and is honestly the exact same brush, you’re getting a good deal with the MAC version of the Oval 6!

This brush sells for $42 (MAC Pro & Staff discounts do not apply) and can be picked up at freestanding MAC stores as well as It’s been out for a while now and cannot be purchased at counters, but I’m hoping they’ll change that soon! If that changes, I’ll be sure to let you all know. I’ve been very happy with the results I get with the Oval 6 brush, especially when applying a liquid or cream foundation, so I had to share it with all of you! I hope you enjoy this review and thanks for reading!


It’s a versatile brush that can be used for several tasks and with different types of products.

I’ve been obsessed with this brush since I purchased it not long ago and actually ended up purchasing a second one.
