I yet to find something I don't like about this brush. It's made well, sturdy, soft, and applies nice and even. Quality wise, I would say it's right up there with MAC Cosmetic brushes... definitely worth checking out!

This is an OK foundation brush, but not a great one. It's paddle-shaped and synthetic, so I find it works best with mousse-like creams -- it tends to streak very fluid liquid foundations and it tends to trowel on stiff cream foundations. (I prefer a skunk for the more liquid foundations and a goat-hair fluff brush for truly stiff creams.) If a foundation is "in-between," it will do a decent job of applying an even layer without too much streaking.


I paid $15 for this during Sephora's half-price liquidation of Cargo merchandise. I wouldn't pay $30 -- there are other brands of foundation brushes at that price point that have better flex and finer bristles, even if synthetic.

This is one of the best foundation brushes I've ever used. It is silky soft when touching the face, and it blends liquid foundation perfectly. $30 is an average price for a decent foudation brush. Made in USA.

An MA at Sephora recommended this to apply to a new creamy foundation I had purchased. This makeup brush causes my foundation to look streaky - I normally have to go over the foundation with a sponge or my fingers to get it to even out. Not worth the $20 I spent on the brush.
