This product is great, it's fab, it blends my foundation in like an absolute dream, but why the low rating? Because of its monstrous shedding! I brought 2 of these one in June, they both lasted 3 weeks before starting to shed like mad, maybe it's the way I'm washing them, but I wash it like any normal person would! The price for a product that only lasts a couple of weeks is ridiculous, sure it's only £3.50 in the uk but if I go through one every 3 weeks, Its going to add up!! I've now swapped to the real techniques expert face brush, but let me tell you! I prefer the application of the elf brush alot more! It covers more areas of the face as its bigger, but I just don't want to buy a foundation with such a short life span!
reading the reviews on here, no one seems to have the me problems as me, which I find abit strange.
I will buy this brush again, but only when I need something else from elf!

I'm abit disappointed by the product, I thought it would be like my holy grail, but apparently not!:-(

Will I repurchase it? Hell, YES, YES, 1000 TIMES YES. I am overwhelmed since the first time using it. It's so smooth, like I use silk to cover my face. The foundation blends so well. so nice. Almost no cakey everytime I use. take good care to my skin even after many times being washed

Seriously, It can compete with Channel, Bobbi Brown brush with not even half of the price. It's worth being laid in any of your makeup collection.

I cant believe I haven't written a review for this. First, I want to thank MUA for introducing me to this product as well as other great DS products. Prior to MUA, I only used HE makeup and would never have dreamed of using anything but, and now, almost everything I use and love is DS!

Anyway, onto the review...

This brush is amazing for applying powder, powder foundation and I imagine it would be good for liquid foundation from the reviews but I've yet to try that.

Why it's good:

-it does NOT shed. Never ever. I've never experienced this with any brush before.
-it gives me a flawless and airbrushed finish.
-I have to use less product because it seems to be more efficient at distributing the product.
-of course the price is a plus. It's $3!!


It's sold at Target so go pick one up. 1000+ reviews cannot be wrong and it's so inexpensive anyway.

I love this brush. I am new to makeup, so when it came to getting a brush set, I ended up with choosing the e.l.f. line since it was affordable. I bought two of the studio powder brushes, and they are amazing. It is super soft and really dense. I use it more for blush than for anything else.

ELF products has always been my favorite. So when I finally got my hands on this brush, I was excited at how well this product has become my go-to brush. The dense brush feels soft and evenly applies my powder. It barely have to get seconds of my powder to get a matte finish. I sometimes use this brush for bronzer to help contour the sides of my face.

For $3, this is a great bargain. I use this brush every single day that I wear makeup. I use it to literally, press powder into my face. I just pack on my MUFE Duo Mat powder with this brush and I kick off the excess powder with another fluffy brush, and I'm matte and non-cakey all day. This is a fantastic brush for packing powder on.
Also, this is a great buffing foundation brush. It will leave you with a nice non-streaky finish. The only downfall is it falls apart after about 2 years. But, for only $3 you really can't go wrong.

I know lots of people love this brush but I'm a little bit on the fence. I use this with liquid foundation
Pros
Cheap
Leaves a lovely finish in the skin
Bristles are not scratchy

Cons
Sheds every time its washed
Takes 2 days to dry
Too large
Soaks up product if it is applied directly onto the brush

To stop the brush soaking up too much product I apply foundation with my fingers and then use the brush to buff it in and this gives a very nice finish. However, I do find this brush too large as it gets product into my eyebrows and hairline very easily and it takes 2 days to dry after being washed. I think this is a good brush to try if your looking for a type of stippling brush as it is inexpensive and does leave a nice finish. I will be getting more of this style of brush but will not repurchase this exact one.

Almost 1200 reviews. 95% approval rating. Can't say much more than has already been said. I like this brush for setting powder and for applying liquid and mineral foundations.

I like this brush. It's cheap. And sturdy. The bristles rarely fall out. I have a Sephora blush brush (small head) that constantly sheds. It was in a set but costly. I use this brush to apply my concealer (I don't use foundation right now).

i am completely in LOVE with this brush. it's so silky and soft against my skin. i never really use it for powder though...i use it more for blushes and sometimes foundation. i love the elf line for having such high quality in their brushes for their prices. this brush is AMAZING for $3, i highly recommend this product.

This is the only brush I have that I need to own multiples of. For $3 each and likely, you can get it cheaper with a coupon, there's absolutely no brush like it. It buffs in foundation like a dream, liquid or powder, the bristles are just dense enough and they're just right for getting into any area that needs coverage. It's great for blending out blush, cream or powder, and getting down the neck. And the size if perfect. To keep it short and sweet, this brush is for everyone, the price is unbeatable, and it's a good quality.

Wow, I did not realize the crapload of good reviews on this. Well, I'm another one of those. This brush...my goodness. It's just amazing. It is by far THE SOFTEST BRUSH I've ever used. I mean that. It feels like silk! Of course I'll use it on my face! It's not scratchy and it's cheap and effective. ELF has made so many great products and I think this is obviously one of the best. Their brushes are reasonably cheap and amazing. This whole company really accomplished a lot and they are just... wow. I'm totally blown away by this brush. It also even looks professional! Okay, I'm done but this is amazing. Definitely 100% worth a try. I promise you'll love it. Goodness sakes...

I have got two of these. The first one, I could sense that the handle is coming off soon but not a biggie considering of the price and how long it's been my faithful (got it when it first launched). Got a backup last year and both have really dense 'hair'. Love that I could do stippling with my powder/liquid foundation and I use it for application of BB cream (crazy obsession of mine) as well. Great to be used with blusher and other powders/big areas you wanna apply. I guess I'll repurchase it for as long as ELF is producing it.

I've owned this brush for about a year now. I've used it for a bunch of different things, liquid foundation, pressed powder, bronzer, etc, and although I liked it with those (except liquid foundation, it didn't distribute the product evenly and I pretty much had to redo it with my fingers), but mostly used it with pressed powder, however I recently got a new buffing brush that I use for both liquid foundation and pressed powder, I didn't want this brush to go to waste though, so I decided to try it with something else. I've found it works great with blush, you dip the brush in the blush and then gently press onto your cheeks and then blend, it looks really natural.

This brush is super awesome! I use it daily with my Mac msfn & sometimes with my Careblend powder,its a must for buffing. I ordered this brush a few years back & was very impressed. Then I read reviews of ladies getting "bad" brushes,shedding very badly & the quality of the newer brushes not being as good. So I was leary as it was time for me to replace my brush & I wanted to replace it with the same Elf or the Mac kabuki,but for 3 bucks...hey. My friend Sarah picked me up one at her Target & I got a winner,I've had it a few wks & its been washed,used,cleaned a few times. So I'm a happy camper. At 3 dollars I've prob grab another one.

HOLY CRAP, you definitely get bang for your buck with this brush! I mostly use it to apply my tinted moisturizer and sometimes my foundation on those days I feel I need more coverage. I've also tried applying my finishing powder and powder foundation with this brush and I love the soft, even application it gives. It buffs out perfectly.. There is absolutely no streaking, no shedding, and the bristles are uber-soft! I have some expensive brushes, and boy... at $3, this brush does the same exact job, if not BETTER than a high-end brand. It's absolutely worth trying out! My favorite brush from ELF :)
