I absolutely love this brush! Not to mention its **ANTIBACTERIAL** so this is especially good for acne-prone skin types! As a former Associate Consultant for Clinique I was new to this brush and once I got it at the counter I haven't used anything since. It is smooth and high quality. Very easy to clean and take care of. This is definitely worth $30!

After going to the Clinique counter to buy foundation, I HAD to have this brush. It applies the foundation so smoothly and easily and blends so well. It's easy to clean and can make anyone who is inexperienced with liquid foundation a pro. I like that you can control the coverage with it and it feels so smooth on your face. The price was a little much but for what it does i guess its worth it. Just for that I can't give it the full five.

Love this brush! Super soft and applies liquid foundation beautifully. Previously had the Body Shop foundation brush which doesn't come close to this one. Love it! .EDIT Have had it for a few months now and it is holding up really well. No shedding at all, and still fairly soft. I am using it with stick foundation and it blends it well. I still press the foundation with my fingers after to get it really blended, though.

I have tried a lot of different foundation brushes and this one is the best. The shape is perfect and it blends foundation for a flawless look. I use it all the time and it holds up well. I wish I had bought this one first instead of wasting my money on other brands.

I agree with everything that Peaches1027 said about this brush. It is a top-notch foundation brush at a reasonable price.It has animal-safe synthetic hairs ( if you're new to foundation brushes,synthetic is also good because it doesn't soak up so much of your product). I've used mine for a year now,and have had no problem with shedding at all.

This is my second Clinique brush, and I am sincere when I say this brush has changed my life. I no longer have to touch and rub my face with my fingers, and my foundation application is perfect every single time. The brush is soft and smooth and glides over my skin. Using it every day is a pleasure. I put my foundation on the back of my hand and then gently rub the bristles in the foundation as you would a paint brush. I love not having to touch my skin with my fingers anymore. Definitely recommend, especially if you are new to using foundation brushes like me. ($26.00 USD)

I adore this brush! I had previously purchased a Chanel foundation brush, and later an Estee Lauder foundation brush, but was not satisfied with either one's performance. When I went to the Clinique counter a couple weeks ago, the MA gave me a makeover with the Perfectly Real foundation (which I bought and love!) and used the foundation brush. I found the brush to be much better at applying a flawless face, and the material also is holding up much better than the Chanel or EL brushes I had previously purchased. The MA recommended not cleaning the brush with soap and water, though, because it's harmful to the bristles, so I've been cleaning it with the brush cleaner taht I bought from EL and it's been doing great.

I absolutely LOVE this brush. I used to work for Clinique and I would always tried to convince people to purchase this wonderful product!!! It is by far superior to the Estee Lauder foundation brush. It provides you with a flawless application and is very easy to clean.

I picked this up a few years ago before I discovered MUA or knew almost anything about make-up. The SA just kind of shoved it in with what I was buying, and this is the only Clinique purchase I've never regretted. I wash all my brushes daily - oh, the joy of being acne-prone - and this has never ever shed a single hair, and is still in exactly the same shape as the day I bought it. I love that it comes with a cute carrying pouch, too - originally I thought this was a gimmick, but it's come in handy a few times when it's clean & I don't want it touching dirty brushes while traveling. Would repurchase, but can't see a time in the near future when I'll need to!

I was surprised with this foundation brush. The clinique MA used it on me when I tried their sheer tint. The makeup went on flawless and so soft. It really reached the edges of my face where make-up usually tends to cake if I use my fingers. It is great at blending the makeup too. It is soft, easy to clean, and the clear handle is stylish. I was going to purchase the MAC 190 brush but I found this more softer on my skin and doesn't really absorb all the makeup like I thought it might. At 28 dollars it's not so bad. I thought it would be more expensive. However, this is my first foundation brush and it does justice for me.

I really like this foundation brush. It's easy to clean, and it does such a good job of blending my make-up. I don't get those little streaks that some brushes can leave. It's stiff enough that I have plenty of control, yet soft enough to smooth everything out.

I purchased this one the same time I purchased my clinique foundation and pore instant perfector. I was hesistant at first since it's a bit pricey..way more expensive than the foundation and the instant perfector, BUT after first usage, I thought its really worth it since it applies the foundation smoothly and it doesnt leave any blotch. You dont have to deal with messy hand or sponge application when you use this brush. Go get one and see for yourself!

This is my first foundation brush and so far, it's pretty great. I got it instead of the Lancome foundation brush since they were 'sold out.' Anyway, my Studio Fix Fluid applies much more easily than with a cosmetic sponge and it looks more natural. I don't know if this brush is as "fabulous" as the SA said it would be, but so far I'm happy with it.

This is the first foundation brush I have ever used so I hesitate to give it a 5 but it is a good brush. It has held up pretty well since I bought it and applies foundation evenly giving me a sheer coverage. If you want a mid-range priced brush that will work well this is the brush for you.

Easy to blend, and no streaks. Very good brush. However, needs replacing quite frequently even after washing it regularly.

I have never even thought about using a foundation brush until I got this Clinque one. I purchased it on a whim after watching my friend get a makeover at the Clinque station. I am so glad I bought it because I was using sponges for foundation application prior to the brush. My skin started to clear up dramatically. I realized that the sponges were unsanitary (I'd just keep using the same sponge for a week, then switch to a new sponge) and was encouraging my skin to break out. I also stopped mixing foundations (to get better color and texture) and just stuck with the brush and one type of foundation. I make sure to clean the brush after every application with Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser (you can also use the Clinque makeup brush cleanser but I feel that the Neutrogena cleanser works better). The brush I bought was about 35 dollars. The money was well worth it because the brush allowed me to put on makeup in a more sanitary way and it also cut back on the amount of foundation I used to give my face a more natural look. The brush is very easy to use (for first time foundation brush users even) and it has great layering abilities. Did not streak too much unless I used too much foundation at first. Just make sure at the end lightly blend all over to give a flawless look.

This is my first foundation brush ever and I'm quite happy with it! I bought it for £20 and was a bit upset to find that it costs much less in the states =( ah well........... The bristles are very soft and as a reviewer mentioned, the way the brush is cut allows for precise, steady application. It comes in a white, plastic cover so it's not inconvenient to be carried around! I reckon this will last ages so I don't think I'll repurchase any time soon!

I love this brush. I had returned another Clinique product and had to choose something in return. I am so glad I chose this. It applies foundation perfectly and allows for a flawless finish. Great blending power. I would rather use this than a sponge anyday.

Actually a very nice brush. I was a bit wary about using a foundation brush rather than sponges, but it actually gives really nice, natural coverage.
