I have been using this for about 6 mos. now and would never go back to using my fingers and getting foundation all over them after trying this. It is a great brush, applies my cream to powder Chanel foundation evenly and smooths out any areas where there is too much make up applied. I simply love it. I have never tried another for comparison but this does everything I would want it to do so there is no reason to look for another. I have also not had any bristles fall out on me. It's great on all accounts.

A great brush. I've never had a problem with the bristles falling out. I like it very much. Pricing is nice too. I store my concealer brush in the case with the foundation brush.

My first foundation brush... used it once or twice and haven't touched it since. Maybe I'm just new to using foundation brushes (on the other hand, I do paint a lot so...) but I found this brush to be rather streaky. :/ Also noticed a black residue when washing the bristles. Went back to using just my fingers for foundation application.

I currently use MAC Studio Finish Matte Foundation (liquid and discontinued as well) in NC30.

Mine is the black handled one in the hard plastic case. It gave me even smooth coverage, I don't wear foundation all over my face, so the small size of it was fine. But my favorite use is either to apply primer or cream blush with it, it is amazing for that. All in all, this is a nice looking, good working brush. Haven't had any problems with it shedding or the handle falling off.

It's a good foundation brush. If you don't want to spend a lot on a
foundation brush, this one is worth it.

This is for the black handle foundation brush found at Target. I think it was $19.99.

I LOVE this brush! It is the first foundation brush I have ever used and it does a great job! The bristles are soft but firm and it applies foundation smoothly and evenly without leaving brush lines. I have been using it (with a weekly cleaning) for about 6 months and none of the bristles have fallen out or pulled apart (unlike my MUFE concealer brush).

I have BB, Smashbox and MUFE brushes and this is by far my favorite.

I have the one with the white handle (the cheaper one). I use it to apply mineral foundation.
For the price, it's a pretty good brush. It's soft and feels nice on the face. It just sheds; sometimes more, sometimes less, but it's a pain in the arse to pick off the broken hairs off my face when I'm in a rush in the morning.
It holds up to washing okay, but sheds in the process.
But because I'm a brand snob, I'm planning to buy the MAC 182 kabuki soon.

EDIT: After it's 2nd wash, it's been shedding a lot more. Bristles break off often.

This is the first time I've ever used a foundation brush, and I'm glad I got a good one! It's nice to hold, the bristles are soft yet don't fall off, and it gives fantastic coverage.
I said "yes" I would buy it again, but I don't think I'll need to since it's held up really well.

Well, I paid about $15 for this but I wasn't sure when I was going to be able to get somewhere to get a better one. However, this is for the one with the black handle, and it is SO soft and perfect. It came in a nice hard case that I kept so I could use it for travel. Used with my Maybelline Pure Makeup it gave me the perfect airbrush-like coverage I've been dreaming of. :) I don't have a problem with the handle, except that it takes up more room. I just hope mine doesn't break like some people's have, especially since my kitten loves to steal my brushes.

This was my first brush ever.


This has a little purple-white handle with unbelievably soft synthetic bristles that allow you to smoothly apply your foundation.


It hasn't shed on me at all, but it's starting to show it's wear due to me mistreating it as a brush newbie and toting around for travel. In all fairness, it's been through alot and is very sturdy.

This brush shed from the first time I used it and got worse over time. It looks like I was attacked by a black Lab! I won't be buying anymore cheap brushes.

This brush is a really great buy. It's really cheap yet it's worth every penny. I bought it 3 or 4 year ago and it's still in perfect condition: hasn't lost a bristle or broken or anything. Great for liquid foundation.

i bought this brush b/c i had heard good thing about sonia kashuk on this website so i bought the last 1 at target,i didn't use until like 2 months later when i got some MAC studio fix fluid and i didn't want 2 spend like $15 or $20 on a makeup brush and it worked really good and i really like the handle 2 b/c its shaped so it like fits in ur hand and my makeup goes on really smooth and it works wayyyy better than apply makeup with ur fingers and it make my makeup go really smooth and i also use it as like a concealer brush i just put a little bit of my makeup on the tip of the brush and just dab it on my acne scars and it works really good at hiding them and ive had it 4 like 5 months now and not 1 of the hairs on the brush has fallen out it works just like new even though ive been washing it with regular bar soap so its pretty tuff and durabule brush i will definitly buy more of sonia kushuk brushes


EDIT: this brushe broke like a week ago,i cant believe it!it just snapped off and its completley useless! i will no longer buy sonia kashuk brushes

I liked this brush because it worked well and I got it on clearance so it was pretty cheap. But the brush head broke off the handle! Very disappointed.

This is a review for the large brush with the white handle. I've had it for over 4 years now and I love it. I use it to apply my bronzer and it gives me easy, natural coverage that does not take long since it is large and covers a lot of area at once. The bristles are soft and non-irritating, and the quality is excellent. It still holds today as if I purchased it yesterday.

I love this brush! I've had it for a couple of years now and it still doesn't shed. It is soft, non-irritating and blends foundation very well. Much cheaper than the department store brushes but just as good as a Prescriptives one I had a while back.

My first brush purchase! I looove this brush- now my foundation has that airbrushed look, and my skin seems to be a bit clearer (maybe because I'm touching my face less?) I use it damp with my Estee Lauder Equalizer, and I love the look it creates- evens everything out, and gives me a healthy glow. After a couple washes, it started to fan out a bit, but a sweet MUAer told me to rinse it with a bit of conditioner and now it's as good as new!

This is so much better than the expensive Becca foundation brush i was using before. I would have paid twice as much for it---it is that good.
