My Review
I am quite particular about my make up brushes, I usually get mine from Urban Decay, Bare Minerals, MAC, Real Techniques, Sephora, Too Faced and BH Cosmetics. So I do know the difference between drugstore brands and high end cosmetics. This product stands at a borderline for me. The bristles are soft and plush which have been fantastic. I really look for a natural, flawless foundation look when wearing make up. Currently I use my Bare Minerals BareSkin Brightening Liquid Foundation (LINK) in the Shade Bare Buff 10 but I typically apply it with my fingers (applies better this way) and I buff it out with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and Real Techniques Multi-Task Brush.
I found that this brush created an okay flawless finish, it didn't do so well on my nose or forehead but on my cheeks and chin I think it did pretty well. I tested this out with other products as stated in the product description (powder, bronzer, blush etc.) and found that it works even better as a setting powder brush, it is smaller and rounded. Also great for bronzer and concealer as it is tapered. It didn't really work out for me as a overall face setting powder brush (a little too small and tightly packed bristles, I like really fluffy kabuki type of brushes) or blush (I like fluffy and swirling my blush).
Overall I really like this foundation brush. It may work better or worse for you but for the amount you are spending on it (around $11 currently) I would repurchase it. The brush is sleek, soft and attractive. I like the way that it applies different products and the "semi" flawless application of it (well you guys can be the judge of that).

honest review, all words are mine*
Thanks for such an honest review! I very rarely use powder foundation, as I feel liquid has tended to work for me better overall. ITs great to hear the positives and negatives of a product though.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear makeup, but I have to say that this sounds like a pretty good brush. Thank you for being so honest about it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome makeup brush - makes me want to buy a new one for myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the hunt for new makeup brushes. Thanks so much for the honest review on this one!
ReplyDeleteI think at $11, it would be a good buy. I guess it's effective on some areas depending on a persons skin type.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a foundation brush before but I recently ordered some new makeup brushes that I do use. I should try this foundation brush because I use powder foundation sometimes and I'd like to see how well it works on my skin. It looks really well made.

Foundation brush? Hmmm sounds interesting and I bet you don't use as much with it do you? Hmmm Guess I'm just hard on breaking old habits, but I do like to try something new now and then. Seems to me it's one of those then times. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely sleek brush. It's great that the bristles are soft. Thank you for an honest review.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the brand before and the brush looks ok but like you i prefer to use my fingers when i am wearing foundation as i think i apply better with fingers than with brushes.
ReplyDeleteI really love the look of this brush. Although I do hate it didn't give an allover great application. I'll have to look into it a bit more before purchasing.
ReplyDeleteI am picky about make up brushes too, this definitely sounds like one I would so use!
ReplyDeleteI love trying out new brushes. I like the dome shape of this one, I think it would be great for getting those hard to reach areas.
ReplyDeleteI never really knew the importance of a brush applicator until I got older. This brush seems to be an awesome one. I love how it is tapered. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI wear minimal makeup but my daughter is getting her cosmetology license. I'll be sure to pass this information along to her so she can read an honest review about it. She has quite the collection of makeup brushes.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the honest review (about it being on the border), I have a chanel foundation brush and I just love it, but I'm in the market for a new blush brush (mine finally came apart - it's probably 15 years old. :) ).
ReplyDeleteI could really use a new makeup brush -- appreciate the honest review on this one. I do like the look of this brush.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear make-up so I don't really know anything about make-up brushes. Thank for sharing your review about this brand.
