This isn't a "brush" but it is a foundation application tool. It's an elliptical sponge on a brush handle. The handle is about 3" long, and the sponge is about an inch long, and an inch wide at its base. It comes to a rounded point at the tip. This velvety sponge was designed for application of Elizabeth Arden's new Ceramide Ultra Lift and Firm Makeup, which I haven't tried. My favorite way to apply foundation is with a sponge, so when I saw this cute little thing, I couldn't resist it. I use it with my liquid foundations (MUFE Face & Body, MAC Face & Body) in the same way as I'd use any sponge, however, the compact size and the handle make this perfect for using around my eyes, mouth, temples, hairline, and for extra spot coverage. I can easily apply foundation all over my face with just this brush, and get a perfectly smooth even finish. I wash this with hand soap, and it cleans thoroughly and remains sturdy. I will keep a few of these handy little things on hand. continued >>
