This works!!

I've tried other foundation brushes and honestly I didn't see much of a difference between those and my fingers for applying foundation. Then I found this one and I love it. It feels so nice on my face and it really is great for blending the foundation. I just put the foundation right on it and apply it in the little circles or x's. Uses less product and really makes the finish pretty. Price isn't...read more bad considering what so many others are priced at. Originally purchased this for use with the UD Naked foundation but am now using it with other brands as well. Highly recommend this!!

Love love love it !

It is super soft, & it's blends really well. You can use it for liquid or powder foundation and you can even use it for your blush. This brush lasts really long and the bristles don't get damaged as quickly as others. when you're using it, it's really easy to sweep from one side of your face to the other, spreading your makeup across evenly.

Game Changer

I seriously don't know what I would do without this. I use it with the Naked Powder Foundation and it leaves my skin looking flawless. The brush is soft, and easy to apply. You can actually see what its doing. Definitely something worth the money in my opinion. Easy to clean too!

brush and cleaning prep for it

This brush is great as long as you "prep" it properly... and it is very worth it in terms of cost of your products you are applying with it... The keys are to make sure to rinse it in a rinse of 1:10 No-rinse hair conditioner (even better is a DROP only added of liquid fabric softener but that can change the scent) EVERY night after first shaking it out completely. It will dry by the morning. I ha...read moreve three of them; 1 for upstairs, 2 for downstairs (2nd one always prepped) for last minute touchups although I seldom need them!

Good Staple Brush for Everyone

I am not a fan of UD foundation, but my mother had this brush and I used it once and fell in love. I'm not sure if its the sleek design, the plush thick bristles, or the fact that it just gets the job done that I immediately had to get my own, but I can't imagine putting on my face without it. I'll start with the cons because they are few: This isn't a do-it-all brush like some of the brushes I ha...read moreve gotten from Sephora--it is limited in the space it covers with each sweep, and will not apply fine powder well. It is expensive! And I find that it needs more regular cleaning than other foundation brushes, and to retain the super soft feeling you need to add some unscented hair conditioner after cleaning. Okay, here's the pros: I have yet to find a brush that will compare with the same quality of finish with the widest variety of foundation, I have tried liquids (matt and luminous), mousses, creams, cream to powders, and thick powders and all seem to come out perfectly. There is a trick of working in circles, but after you get the hang of it, you end up using less foundation than with lower quality brushes. In summation, despite being expensive and a little more maintenance, this brush would make everyone's foundation much more happy to go on.
