Only for thick makeup

First of all, if you're going to use a runny liquid foundation, you're going to hate this brush. as other people have said before me, it does have some amount of streaking and it just looks bad in general. If you're wearing a thicker consistency foundation (I use the Napoleon Perdis stick foundation) it works absolutely perfectly! It doesn't streak at all. Like all other Ecotools brushes, it's ama...read morezingly soft and it fits well in your hand. If you're using the right type of thicker foundation, it's also really easy to blend. I personally like this brush a lot, but if you use a more liquidy foundation, this isn't the brush for you.

Not that great.

Out of the 5 EcoTools brushes I have this is the only one I don't love. I don't like it. Not even a little. I think the brush head is too thin because it isn't very good at moving product.

Use for concealer

This brush is shaped and just stiff enough for me to apply under eye concealer exactly how I like it. Lol! Not as intended, but it works great for that purpose. Try it.

Another great brush by Eco Tools

The first time I used this foundation brush, I was not impressed. I used it with my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and it left my face streaky. I put it back in the original packaging and threw it in my drawer. I pulled it out recently to apply some Smashbox foundation for my engagement pictures and it worked like a dream! I think this brush works better with a thicker consistency makeup. I...read more would definitely recommend this brush. It should be noted that the first time I used this brush was the first time I had ever used a foundation brush of any kind... so user error could have been to blame!

Even Coverage

I have never used a foundation brush in my life. This one is so easy to use. I believe it is because of how soft the brush is. There are no streaks and it blends evenly. I tend to use it more after the foundation is applied, then I use the brush over my face to smooth out the lines. Works great!

Soft and cheap

This brush is soft and effective, definitely above regular drugstore quality. I've used it with Smashbox Camera Ready and Revlon Colorstay. For the first one it does leave bristle trails if you just use the tip, but you can use the body of the brush (the middle part) to blend a little bit and then everything looks blended and smooth. It works perfectly with liquid foundation.

not impressed

as much as i LOVE ecotools, this is my least favorite brush. it's cute and has pretty soft, synthetic bristels, but it leaves streaks and bristle marks on your face and just drags the foundation around your face rather than blending it in. i found that using a sponge worked even better. i highly recommend ecotools' other brushes, but this one is not worth your money.

Sub Par

My first thoughts of buying this product, was that it was eco-friendly, had cute packaging and the bristles were soft to the touch. When I started using it, it would leave bristle trail marks along my face when I was applying my foundation. I ended up blending the makeup with my fingers in the end. I've had it for a few months now, but I have only used it for 2 weeks. Maybe I should just stick with sponges and fingers for this one.
