I got this brush with my BE starter kit. I use it to apply my finishing powder and it does the job but for the price I will not repurchase I'd reccomend everyday minerals brushes instead of this their much softer and cheaper

I got this brush as part of the Bare Escentuals Starter kit. I cannot believe it retails by itself for $22. It's scratchy and does a terrible job of picking up powder. It also does a very poor job of evenly distributing the powder onto your face. What a complete rip off. Please don't waste your money.

I got this in a BE starter kit and woww.. it SUCKS. I can get a better one at any drugstore, even the ELF $1 face brushes are better than this brush. It's extremely scratchy and hard, I hate the feeling of it on my face. Just meh at picking up powder. I don't know why BE put such horrible brushes in their kits I would rather just buy the kit without the crappy brushes. Way overpriced if you buy it on it's own too - I wouldn't even take this brush if someone offered it to me for free.

I hate this brush! The bristles fall off all over my face and then I have to spend five minutes picking them off. Also expensive, will not repurchase.

I like this brush for applying blush or powder highlighter. It doesn't pick up as much color as a blush brush so I don't look like a clown. Not the look I'm going for. I would not buy again because I have about 4 (from various BE kits) and I'm sure there are other brushes that are better.

I hate this brush! This is the worst one i have and its now collecting dust. The commercials make it look nice, smooth, and easy to use, but its really prickly and hurts my sensitive face. Even after you wash it, its still harsh like how i bought it 3 years ago. I cant even use it for blush! Bleh!

This brush is amazing! I use it to apply my Bare Minerals make up and it blends very nicely, offers good coverage, and the brush is very very soft! Love it!

This brush seems ok by visual inspection, but it is really rather harsh, and scratchy on my skin and the buffing motion emphasizes the coarseness of the brush bristles. I expected some shedding at first, but it was ridiculous, good thing I was just trying out the makeup. I had hairs all over my face and my shirt. I believe that the shedding problem is exacerbated by the swirling and buffing. Even after repeated use and cleanings the brush still sheds. For $28 USD I would expect a much high quality brush.

Honestly, for a free brush (came with a starter kit), it's not bad.
I wouldnt spend money on this but I do find that I reach for this quite often for blush application rather than all over powder application.

This brush is very rough on my face. It came with the starter kit and I would never buy it. The bristles hurt and are kinda stiff. ELF brushes are so much better than this brush and the price can't be beat. This is an overpriced brush with terrible quality.

This brush is quite scratchy and irritated my skin every time I used it. It would also lose its shape every time I washed it and required a lot of effort to get the bristles back to the way they should be. I wouldn't buy this brush because it certainly not worth the price (I only have it because it came in the starter kit, I checked how much it cost individually and can say for certain there are better brushes out there that are less expensive).

The only reason I have this brush is b/c it came in the Starter Kit otherwise I wouldn't buy this. I think any other drugstore brush would give you the same results. I use this brush to apply my warmth or any blush that I use.. But to apply my Bare Minerals foundation.. not so much. It doesn't really give me the "flawless" coverage that I'm looking for. So if your looking for a brush to apply your mineral makeup with, I definitely would skip this one. Even though I'm a huge fan of the Bare Escentual products Tthe Everyday Mineral brushes are SOOO much better & cheaper! Try those instead.

I did not even bother keeping this brush I immediately gave it away, because there is no way in the world that I would put something with that harsh of bristles on my face.
It is extremely rough, and not only that but it constantly sheds all over the place...its not even worth keeping when getting it in a kit.

like everyone else i recieved this in the starter kit and well thats the only way i woul get it because no way in H. E. DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS would i buy this. i own two as i have gotten 2 starter kits and they both are itchy/scratchy, poke/are rough to my skin and shed all OVER my face. It's horrible going out and people saying that i have stuff on my face b/c of course the hairs would blend in with my skin so i can't see it when im rushing out the door. when i use it i must spend at least a couple mins to pick the hairs off my face with a tweezer- sucky.

I received this brush as a part of their starter package. I would NEVER buy this product.
Seriously, what can you expect out of a kit that includes 2 makeup brushes along with the actual products?
It's itchy on the skin & after several cleanings, it becomes even more itchy & rough. I would only use this brush if I was completely new to makeup & Mineral foundation altogether. If you like mineral foundation after using up the starter package, definitely invest in a better brush. It will not only feel better, but your mineral makeup will look better on if applied with a better brush.

Horrible! I just got this brush as part of a sample package. I took it out of the plastic wrap and used with BE foundation powder and it SHED all over the place. I stood over the sink pulling out hairs/bristles by the dozen. The bristles are too stiff, too scratchy, too itchy and because of that they create skin flakes when applying the foundation. I hate the kabuki for the same reason and thought BE brushes might have evolved...NOPE! I use the Ecotools foundation brush which is much better and super soft and gives great coverage.

I loved this brush when I used bare minerals for my all over face makeup. It applied nice and evenly, It's soft and doesn't irritate or scratch my skin like most brushed that come in all of these other sets.
I now use this brush to apply my blush, it works great its easy for me to control.

Received as a gift part of BE kit, it's scratchy, sheds and not at all kind to my face. Also the handle is a bit on the short side for my tastes.

it feels soft to the touch, but it's so scratchy on your face! and every time i use it, it sheds all over my face. i really wanted to like this brush, but all-in-all it really is awful.
