Excellent Brush 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.
Not a dupe and not a good brush 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.

honestly i don't like writing bad reviews, i like real techniques but i don't know how to use this. i've tried multiple ways and i've always used brushes because i like full coverage. but even wet this just soaks up the product and leaves patchy streaks.
Awesome! 5

Very densely packed brush, soft yet firm. The handle makes for quickest application while not straining the hands. Leaves an airbrush finish with zero streaking. Absolutely love this design. Wish I would've bought this sooner.
Keeps hands clean while blending evenly! 5

I wish I had one of these years ago! So much better than sponges that leave makeup on your hands! Super soft bristles help blend very easily. Gets foundation all the way to hairline, blends under face and on neck to give smooth, even face. Love this brush!! Have bought for friends and family and they also love it!
Nice brush, and Lasts 5

I purchased this brush with an order in 05/2020 & I'm really satisfied with the overall performance & durability of the brush itself! It's a really nice, soft-feeling brush that holds onto & applies foundation really well, I've used no other applicator since I purchased it! My only issue is that it's not the color displayed in the pictures. I received a brush with a black handle!
I was shopping for more makeup brushes/tools when I saw the brush pictured & immediately loved the coral-pink vibrant coloring of the handle & added it to my cart thinking it's a completely different brush. Thankfully I looked at my orders history before making the purchase, & saw the same brush displayed in the pictures under my order from 2020.
Looking at pictures with comments, I see that others also received a black brush instead of the one pictured, which is disappointing because it's falsely advertised & I really wanted that pretty coral brush. I also added other same colored products to my cart from this same brand & I'd be too upset to receive something else! I'm wondering instead, if maybe they changed the product a bit to add this color? I'll inquire about that, because if so, I want to purchase this newer one since it's time for an upgrade & will be back to write a review for it!!
Miss the old one 2

Not a fan of this new oval makeup foundation brush. For years this was the best one but the brush has gotten smaller. I will no longer be buying this brush.
