Incredible Flawless Finish

This brush is absolutely fantastic. Despite it's big round shape, this is soft and flexible enough for all the areas around the face distributing foundation evenly whether it be liquid, mineral, powder, or just a tint. I wouldn't recommend this for blush because it is too big for countouring but I do recommend it for applying your makeup base and all over jobs. It's synthetic hairs allows the u...read moreser to apply and have foundation on the bristles without worrying about the decomposure of the brush and lessening the quality of application. I have had this brush for well over eight months and hasn't faulted on me yet. A definite must have and appreciated staple for my collection. When used in swirls around the face to buff powder, it lefts a great finish without the overdone cakey or mask effect especially when foundation is blended along the hairline and jawline.

Practical and Sophisticated

The look of this brush is fantastic: the bristles make up a fluffy brush and the handle is very sophisticated in a silvery finish. The actual brush applies powder well and leaves behind a great, even finish.

Perfect Perfect Perfect

I absolutely love this brush. Not only does it apply powder like a dream (hello, flawless skin!), this brush is the softest you will ever feel (seriously), AND it's cruelty-free. Normally synthetic brushes are a trade-off on quality but not this baby. I've had this brush for a of couple years and if you take good care of it it'll be your best friend for a long time. It is well worth the price for the quality. A+

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

About a year ago, I purchased the optical blurring brush from Urban Decay. Within a few months, the bristles began to fall out and I though it would stop. I finally contacted "Customer Service", both through a chat session and through email. It took two email requests for them to even communicate with me. I was told two different things: 1) unless the brush was air dried, the glue might dissol...read moreve causing the bristles to fall out (I did air dry it) and 2) I was given directions on how to clean the brush, (which was the way I have been cleaning it for the past year). I have treated this brush exactly the same as I treated much less expensive brushes that I have had for many years. The brush continues to grow worse and I am really disappointed by the "customer service" I have received. They offered me free shipping if I was to buy another product, but I refuse to purchase another product from them. Do NOT buy this product and expect a quality product or decent service.

best brush everrrr

This is the most amazing powder brush ever! It picks up foundation and distributes it evenly around your face whether it's powder or liquid (which is awesome so you don't have to purchase multiple brushes). The hairs are so soft and it feels so good on the face. This brush is kind of pricey, but sometimes you have to spend to get the quality desired.

cruelty free & extra soft

wonderfully soft powder brush. really great with bronzer (i use bronzer in place of a powder/foundation) distribution is even and natural looking. no shedding and washes out easily. this has been my favorite powder brush ive ever owned, but about 6 months after buying it the brush barrel detached from the handle.

Awesome brush!

I got this along with the UD blush brush and like the blush brush this is soooo soft. It such a pleasure to use it. I use this for bronzer mostly and it applies it evenly. Very pleased with my purchase.

SOFTEST BRUSH AND BEST AT BLENDING!

I Highly highly recommend this brush. I was very skeptical and never thought I would ever purchase an urban decay brush because they don't look that special. However, I do like the fact that it is synthetic and not tested on animals. I have tried MAC brushes, but this one is so soft and so nice to use for mineral foundations and/or powders! The animal hair on most high-end brushes still have fall ...read moreout and are a little scratchy. This one is suprising super soft, and blends everything so nice! I think once you buy this brush, you will never need another face brush again.
