I was lucky enough to get access to this brush as a Platinum Perk, and I'm glad I did. Of course this is going to be compared to the Artis brushes which are about 3-4 times the cost. Well I purchased an oval 7 Artis brush just so I could compare it to this brush, and here's what I found. This brush has a rounded top, the Artis is flat. This brush is slightly larger than with oval 7. The biggest difference to me is in the quality of the handle. The RT brush feels very strong and well made. The Artis handle feels and looks like the cheap plastic used to make those princess tiaras for little girls and could very easily break with too much pressure. Both brushes have very soft densely packed bristles and apply foundation quickly and evenly. Neither left streaks. My favorite thing about this brush was the speed of application. For foundation it is fast! Much faster than a makeup sponge or flat kabuki brush and more full coverage than both. I also decided to try using this to apply powder blush as I haven't been able to find anything I really like, and it's now my favorite blush brush. I would recommend this brush to anyone. Also, I'm returning the Artis.
I was really excited to see these being released and bought them on sneak peek. I was hoping for a dupe for some of my favorite foundation brushes, but these are not it. The bristles are not packed densely enough and causes the brushes to absorb too much product and leaves the product that makes it onto your face look streaky. Also the foundation brush is huge, too big to be useful on my face.

This is like velvet on your skin. My foundation goes on silky smooth without much of it being soaked into the soft bristles.
Paige from Salt Lake City, Utah
I bought this to help with the application of my liquid foundation. Using this to blend is perfect! It gives me perfect even coverage and no streaky lines. I would 100/10 recommend this brush!

I can't say enough about this brush. It's like I have new foundation. It's creates such an even velvety finish. Absolutely obsessed
Mikki from MI - Michigan
This is the best cosmetic purchase I have ever made. It makes applying foundation so quick and easy. I actually think my skin looks better even when I have removed my makeup! My only regret is that I didn't buy a second one as a spare.
Nash from Pleasanton
Loved this brush and how easy it is to glide foundation on.
Sonia from Clearwater Fl
I use this to blend my foundation and I must say that I love it. I'm still getting used to not using my beauty blend, but would most deff keep buying this product.
Tiffany from Athens Al
The absolute best foundation brush I've ever used. Applys foundation so smoothly almost has an airbrushed effect.
Blondie from Central Florida
It is an amazing tool for beautiful face.

If I don't use a beauty sponge to blend out my foundation, this is the brush I'm reaching for every single time. The bristles are super soft and the brush is comfortable to hold. It blends out my liquid foundations well and gives my skin an airbrushed skin-like finish. My only complaint is that because of its size, it's hard to maneuver around the corners of the nose and under the eyes, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Overall I really love this brush for blending out my foundation

I purchased this after the great reviews but it didn't work very well for me. I'm not someone who wears a lot of makeup but I decided to start trying to wear foundation and purchased this for the application. Unfortunately for me I looked a little to airbrushed using this. I had also purchased a beauty blender and that worked out much better for me. I say this works very well for a flawless finish but for me it just seemed a little to cakey.

I use this amazing brush to feather my foundation. I apply my make up, let set for a moment then use this brush to smooth out my make up. It works great. Have given to multiple friends as gifts and they love it.
Vanny from Los Angeles
This is worth the price. I got tired of sponges making my foundation look streaky. This brush is so good and I don't have to use a lot of foundation because this blends so perfect.
KatieSmma from Yulee, FL
Love this brush. A little weird at first but once you get used to it, it spreads the liquid makeup much smoother than a normal brush.
BLC from Miami
Second I purchase as I want to give as a present to my sisster

Overall I like it. However I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I'd be. My full coverage foundation is not full coverage when using this brush. You have to use much more product.
Steph from MT
I have tried both liquid foundation and powder foundation. This brush works wonderfully with both. Makes applying and blending effortless and smooth! So glad I tried this!
Slip'nSlide from PNW
Ok, I'm obsessed! seriously the most soft makeup brush I've ever had the pleasure of feeling. I will be recommending and purchasing more. 10/10 would blend again!
Chels from Fayetteville, AR
It's the only brush I've owned like this that feels so sturdy. I use this after applying with my beauty blender to make sure it's perfectly blended! Blends really well without picking up / removing product! Very soft as well!
Rebecca C. from Dallas, TX
I absolutely LOVE this brush! It's very dense and blends foundation so well! It's also super sturdy—I've had oval foundation brushes before where the neck snaps off after a few uses. You don't need to worry about that with this one. I've cleaned this brush weekly and it hasn't shed yet, another big problem I had with foundation brushes. I've got multiples of this brush, I love it that much.
ToniV from Wentzville MO
Perfect for foundation. Love the thickness of the brush.
Debbiebeauty from Texas
I use it for foundation and it's very soft!
Jess the perfectionist from Batavia, Il
After I put on my foundation I use this brush to blend and smooth around the face and neck. It leaves a soft, blended finish!
Rachel from Tennessee
I loved this it made my makeup go on so smooth there were some places I had to add makeup and the brush was a little hard to clean
AjAz4 from Phoenix
So soft! Smooth and even coverage.
Cayce from Austin, TX
I really love this brush for foundation. It blends everything very well. My previous brush left streaks and caked in places, but this one distributes the product very evenly. Love it.
