Very large fluffy powder brush for a good price. It feels very soft when you SWEEP it across the face, can be a bit pokey/scratchy if you use a patting motion.

I love this brush. I have been using Sigma brushes for years and liked them, but they feel like a boar-bristle brush compared to this. It's very very soft, applying powder is like a caress, and I love the fact that you can just leave it standing, no need to look for the brush holder if on a rush.
The brush is better than my EcoTools and e.l.f. brushes.

This to my is a perfect brush for my pressed powder. It's so soft and just the right size. The only thing i would say is that i dislike how fat the tip of the handel is, it makes it hard to put in my makeup stand. other than that i LOVE this brush.

When i saw the brush in its packaging i had to have it! When i finally got this a took it out of the packet i liked it but it was absolutely huge. I find it quite hard to apply powder with this brush properly as its really big and hard to get into places (obviously i guess!) also i found that even when sweeping or pressing product onto the face that the brush took a bit of my foundation/concealer off with it leaving my brush the colour of my foundation and myself with an even sheerer finish. It's a great brush none the less, just a little awkward.

Brilliant finishing powder brush and very good for mineral powder foundation too. Very soft (mine is, at least), easy to clean and quick to dry with no shedding so far after several washes. Until last month I had exactly zero Real Techniques brushes. Now I have three ...

I think this brush is actually a bit scratchy, so I'm surprised at the previous reviews stating how soft it is. However, it's dense and distributes powder over the face evenly. So while it does the job, the quality just wasn't there for me.

Pros:
- no shedding
- super soft
- good price
- big enough for powder without being too cakey

Cons:
- Difficult to find

I love the brush, whenever I use it I just don't want to stop applying powder because it is so soft. It gets the job done, by applying the right amount of powder foundation to set your liquid foundation and it is also great if you are only wearing powder foundation. No complaints at all!

This powder brush is so big compared to the other brushes of this line. It is definitely a must buy. The quality is a little different though, it is not as soft and can be a little scratchy. But it doesn't shed and is what I am looking for in terms of size and ability to distribute powder on my face evenly and lightly. Highly recommend!

I bought this brush based on the great reviews that this line of brushes seems to have overall. Sadly, this was another brush from the Real Techniques line that proved to be a real disappointment. In general, I don't expect products that are so cheap to blow my mind. However, I've found some pretty cheap products that offer great value for the money. This however, was not one of them. Perhaps it is just me, but I felt like this brush was too soft for my likes. To me, it seemed like the bristles were too flimsy (if that makes sense) and fragile, and they never seemed to pick up much powder at all. Maybe it is just my taste, but I like being able to pick up quite a bit of powder. For me, this brush is good only if you want to pick up the slightest (almost non existent) bit of powder for a very LIGHT dusting of powder. I could see this working for the application of a finishing powder, but I think other brushes I already have could be used for that too, with a lighter hand. But if you are in a hurry hoping to quickly build up a bit of coverage with powder, this is not the brush for that.

A huge powder brush that is surprisingly not as soft as other Real Techn. brushes.... (i own the Blush one and several others).
It is a decent brush, that does not shed and washes and dries easily and quickly...
The handle is too big and not really practical if you wanna keep your brushes in a glas jar, it takes so much space...
Nothing to complain really, but also nothing to be cheerful about.

I wanted to like this brush but I just don't like its find that it takes forever to dry part of that is that I use brush guards to help my brushes keep shape however this does not hinder my other brushes in drying. I find the size is to large it gets powder all over the place also the bristles are kind of floppy. I find that the best use for me with this brush is to blend out my blush on days I go a bit crazy with it and other then that I have other powder brushes I like much better.

Amazing brush! Super soft! Lightweight, love the feeling of it on my face! Use it to set my foundation with MAC msf, and I jut love using it! Great price and is comparable and even better than some high end brushes. 9.99 at ulta and they Often have a buy one get one 50%off. I would still purchase this brush if it were more expensive, it's that great.. HG for sure

I Seriously dont understand whats with all the bad reviews about this brush
Its so soft, its like the dupe for the sigma f30, it is A LITTLE BIT TOO BIG for pressed powders though, thats my only negative thing about this brush, other than that, it dries so quickly, easy to shape, applies powder like a dream, and i love this brush! How can anyone hate this brush?! i just don't understand

This is my favorite brush out of any that I own. Every time I see it for some reason, I think of an extremely fluffy rabbit's tail and it makes me smile. It is extremely soft and budget friendly for both the pro and the novice. The brush has a nice weight to it in the handle as well, and because of its large base, it is able to stand up on its own, rather than needing to be balanced in a stand or laid on its side. I blends harsh blush lines wonderfully, and blends concealer nicely into bare skin. I've washed this brush a few times and have had no trouble with splaying or not returning to its shape. Ultimately, I'm happy I have this, and am glad that I was lucky enough to get the last one at Ulta!

As I've stated before about these brushes, very soft bristles, lovely on the skin, heavenly touch if I could say. This brush is very dense, but lightweight, I use it to apply bronzer, it works amazing and blends it to a natural look. Its great for the price!

This is a very similar size to the Sigma powder brush (I don't have it on hand, or I'd provide the number), and about the same denseness. The handle is a lot better designed though, and it's super soft and picks up product well. One of the best powder brushes I own, especially for the price!

I recently purchased four Real Techniques brushes and love them all. This brush is so incredibly soft and dense I can't help but be a little mad at myself for using my other powder brush all these years and thinking it was fine. The brush stands up by itself on my vanity and looks pretty. Plus it's large and grabs as much or as little powder as I want. I sometimes wish it took longer to apply my powder just to feel the brush...it's that nice!

These brushes are a very recent discovery for me, and I'm seriously wondering how I never found out about them sooner! They are absolutely amazing! I started out with the eye set and now am well on my way to having the full collection. Anyway, since this a review on the powder brush, much like the rest of the collection, it is really good. It has a nice shape, super soft bristles and because they are synthetic it makes it ultra easy to wash. It packs on the product without being too overbearing, allowing for maximum or minimum coverage, however much you want really. It makes your make up fully set for the entire day with a kind of 'air brushed' look to it. It was a mid price brush in the stores but if you are a smart shopper then you can definiely get them cheap online, but even when bought in store it is totally worth it, it is a top quality product. Absolutely in love, would definitely recommend and buy again.
