Very large fluffy powder brush for a good price. It feels very soft when you SWEEP it across the face, can be a bit pokey/scratchy if you use a patting motion.

I love this brush. I have been using Sigma brushes for years and liked them, but they feel like a boar-bristle brush compared to this. It's very very soft, applying powder is like a caress, and I love the fact that you can just leave it standing, no need to look for the brush holder if on a rush.
The brush is better than my EcoTools and e.l.f. brushes.

This to my is a perfect brush for my pressed powder. It's so soft and just the right size. The only thing i would say is that i dislike how fat the tip of the handel is, it makes it hard to put in my makeup stand. other than that i LOVE this brush.

When i saw the brush in its packaging i had to have it! When i finally got this a took it out of the packet i liked it but it was absolutely huge. I find it quite hard to apply powder with this brush properly as its really big and hard to get into places (obviously i guess!) also i found that even when sweeping or pressing product onto the face that the brush took a bit of my foundation/concealer off with it leaving my brush the colour of my foundation and myself with an even sheerer finish. It's a great brush none the less, just a little awkward.

Brilliant finishing powder brush and very good for mineral powder foundation too. Very soft (mine is, at least), easy to clean and quick to dry with no shedding so far after several washes. Until last month I had exactly zero Real Techniques brushes. Now I have three ...

I think this brush is actually a bit scratchy, so I'm surprised at the previous reviews stating how soft it is. However, it's dense and distributes powder over the face evenly. So while it does the job, the quality just wasn't there for me.

Pros:
- no shedding
- super soft
- good price
- big enough for powder without being too cakey

Cons:
- Difficult to find

I love the brush, whenever I use it I just don't want to stop applying powder because it is so soft. It gets the job done, by applying the right amount of powder foundation to set your liquid foundation and it is also great if you are only wearing powder foundation. No complaints at all!

This powder brush is so big compared to the other brushes of this line. It is definitely a must buy. The quality is a little different though, it is not as soft and can be a little scratchy. But it doesn't shed and is what I am looking for in terms of size and ability to distribute powder on my face evenly and lightly. Highly recommend!

I bought this brush based on the great reviews that this line of brushes seems to have overall. Sadly, this was another brush from the Real Techniques line that proved to be a real disappointment. In general, I don't expect products that are so cheap to blow my mind. However, I've found some pretty cheap products that offer great value for the money. This however, was not one of them. Perhaps it is just me, but I felt like this brush was too soft for my likes. To me, it seemed like the bristles were too flimsy (if that makes sense) and fragile, and they never seemed to pick up much powder at all. Maybe it is just my taste, but I like being able to pick up quite a bit of powder. For me, this brush is good only if you want to pick up the slightest (almost non existent) bit of powder for a very LIGHT dusting of powder. I could see this working for the application of a finishing powder, but I think other brushes I already have could be used for that too, with a lighter hand. But if you are in a hurry hoping to quickly build up a bit of coverage with powder, this is not the brush for that.
