WOW. Love this brush! Let me put it this way: it's replaced my beloved Jane Iredale "The Handi" as best overall in my arsenal. And J.I. ain't cheap! I normally use mineral powder foundation and this works great for that - but was curious how this would work with a heavy cream. Result: you TRULY can multitask with it! I have NEVER been able to do this with one brush before...I applied, one after the other with no wiping or cleaning between: 1)cream foundation; 2)setting powder; 3)powder blush. The brush didn't miss a beat. Bristles are luxuriously soft - yet fully dense and firm enough for all mediums, whether powder, liquid, or cream. Also, it doesn't wet up or get clogged, so all mediums seem to just float on the bristles...apply a light powder right after a liquid or cream with no problem. I also use RT's Stippling brush, which is equally a great multitasker. I use the two because blush is pigmented enough, that some color might remain and I prefer to not have to clean between each use. I use the Expert Face for foundations and setting powders, and the Stippling for blush - but you might as easily do it the other way around or in any combination - just depends on preference. For travel, I only carry full sized brushes, as performance is quite simply superior and worth any measly extra cargo space! These brushes perform like a dream, feel lovely on the face, and balance perfectly. And the prices are insanely low! Just get 'em - you'll be delighted!
I loved this brush until it started falling apart. Very disappointed. I had owned less than a year.

I'm not sure what real techniques changed in their brushes but the old ones were softer and better. They had the black handles. This one does not apply my makeu0 as well

I'm a makeup artist and I use this for cream contour on clients. I love that it blends it out perfectly without moving the foundations under it. I even got one for myself and I have 2 in my kit for clients!!!!!

Hate this brush. It soaks up so much product and make your foundation look SO streaky

Good quality

I LOVE this brush so much that I have FOUR of them now because I'm lazy and put off wash day forever! I will say it does not work for all of my foundations but that is understandable as some foundations just aren't applied well with any brush. it is excellent for stippling thicker, creamier foundations but I've found it can be streaky with my thinner formulas.

So every time I try to apply my foundation( I use Fenty and Urban Decay) I get a bunch of streaks on my face. Aside from that it is really hard to clean. When I apply my makeup I realized that the bristles really bunch up:/

I decided to buy this brushed based on the reviews. Sadly i was so disappointed. It left me streaks after i applied my foundation. :(

This brush works well for precise blush** application, as well as blending blush out. The bristles are soft and the brush itself is nice and dense. The brush small and dense enough to work well pressing powder into the skin. As a foundation brush it leaves a lot to be desired. The brush leaves foundation streaky. I have to use a sponge afterwards to get a seamless look. (**Note: I've only used powder blushes, not cream.) Overall, a good blush and precise powder brush. NOT a foundation brush.

I love how my skin looks when I use this brush to put on my foundation.
Audrey from Georgia
This brush is crazy good! After only using beauty sponges to apply my foundation, I wanted to finally try a brush. I got a small sample foundation brush from It Cosmetics and it was horribly streaky so I thought all brushed must be that way. I finally decided to try this one, and it's amazing! No streaking and way better coverage than if I used my sponges. I've tried it with foundation and concealer and it works amazing for both.

I have 5 of these brushes - i use them everyday. Great for blending foudation or powders. I have them in my travel bags too. Bought my first one years ago and its still in great condition. Amazing price especally when Ulta puts them on sale.

I needed a new foundation brush cuz I'm tired of using blender sponges because they take longer to achieve that airbrushed look. I've purchased other brushes from this brand and have always liked them but this right here is LOVE. The bristles are dense and it doesn't take much product to go a long way! One pump of foundation = one side of my face which now means I use less product! Win win! Once the world opens back up I will be getting another to have as backup!

Wow, I mistakenly purchased this thinking it was a blush brush. When I read it was intended for liquid foundation, I was thinking oh well I'll go ahead and apply my blush with it. BUT WHY IS IT SO GOOD?! I prefer this brush to their ACTUAL Blush brush (the one that has that pointed end). It is much softer and precise. AND IT BLENDS! The blush I used was the Sailormoon blush the bright magenta color. And it picks up the right amount of color. I love it! I might have to buy more just in case. Try it out!
juli from los angeles
one of my favorite foundation brushes
LS from NJ
I bought this brush in the hopes of using it to blend foundation. It is horrible for liquid foundations. It streaks it across my face and looks awful. This brush is great for powder so I will prob keep it for that.
