Stacey, tester with dry skin:“The bristles are soft to the touch and feel pillowy.
The handle is sturdy and easy to grip, and the bristles are soft and gentle on the skin.
It held onto a very small amount of the foundation and transferred the rest nicely onto the skin.”
And because the brush head is pretty large, it gets the job done quickly.
Do note the white hairs can be difficult to keep clean.
Stacey, tester with dry skin:“I was very impressed with the coverage this provided.
It glided on seamlessly and evenly and blended easily without streaking.
It only required a few swipes for the product to be fully blended.”
