This is the best makeup brush I ever bought. I've had it for years and washed it over and over and it still looks like new. It's the softest bristles of any brush I've used. So soft you cannot even feel it on your face. It applies powder perfectly, much better than the puffs that come with compacts. As for packaging I do remember it came in an annoying flimsy plastic case that was hard to open. But the brush is wonderful.

I’ve been using it for nearly 2 years and it has a solid handle which feels good in the hand, has a good length and the middle part is metal and the lower part is plastic or rubber I would say. The lower part of the handle goes a bit wider which is a bit annoying as I always have trouble to put it in my cub with the other brushes. But I saw on their website that they’ve changed the handle and color which is good. The bristles are soft and synthetic and apply the powder evenly, I do love using it to reduce bronzer or blush powder if I applied a bit too much! https://youtu.be/N7DIxSeYS0w

This is the brush I have used for its price, and it is underpriced for its quality. The softest synthetic powder brush I have ever used is by La Mer; the Sephora Pro #91 followed by the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe and Too Faced are nice, but for the price and marketing, are nowhere close to the La Mer. Ecotools is just scratchy, and the Sonia Kashuk was more firm and dense than I was looking for. I have sensitive skin and I hate the feeling of my brushes stabbing my face. Because I do not feel comfortable testing store brushes on my face, I brush them against the part of my wrist closest to my ulnar artery. This is the most sensitive part of my arm. If the bristles are too firm, you will definitely be able to tell! I use this to re-apply my sunscreen and freshen up my makeup, Mary Philips (via Melissa Alatorre)-style. The bristles are soft, fluffy, full, yet not dense like an Artis brush. It stands up to liquid products and frequent rough re-washings, and I do not doubt its abilities for powder. Best $9 I have ever spent, but if my husband does decide to gift me the La Mer brush, I will relegate this brush to travel.

I recently got this brush with the newer design (light pink handle) and I must say that I really do love it. I thought it was going to be too big but after using it I’ve realised it’s not bad at all. The brush head is huge and fluffy and the bristles feel so soft and luxurious. The brush itself picks up a lot of product so you might want to be careful when you use loose powders. The bristles distribute the product evenly and beautifully without streaks or patches. I love applying setting powder with this because it blends it out beautifully and my face doesn’t end up looking too caked with powder.

It's a big powder brush. Actually, the size is too big for my face. I can set my cheeks and forehead perfectly but you can not reach every area of your face. I prefer to work precisely with powder, so I use this brush rarely. But it does its job so it deserves 4 lips.

I don't get the hype about this brush. Yes, it's soft enough and yes, it's fluffy. But I don't think it does the job all that well. It only (kinda) works for loose powder all over your face. I find that it picks up way too much product, but barely deposits any of it. So in my experience, it just picks up a whole lot of product and wastes it. I just really don't understand this brush or why anyone likes it. I think it might work well for blending out harsh contour lines, blush and highlight. But do you really need an extra brush for that? I don't.

Holy grail powder brush. Such good quality, nice bristles. Puts powder on flawlessly. Reminds me of high end brushes.

I use this for blending out my highlight, blush and contour as well as dusting away any baking. I feel like this brush is way too fluffy and never actually picks up any product at all for setting the face whether a compact or loose powder is used. I use the Wet n Wild Flat Top brush which is so dense and non-absorbent that powder gets picked up perfectly.

I am not by any means a brush expert but I do love this brush. As others say, it's quite a big brush but I like that. It's also very fluffy and a pleasure to use. Gives an even finish. My favourite thing about this brush is however its amazing quality and the fact that it's cruelty-free (massive thumbs up). It's very easy to wash but dries quite fast. Doesn't shed at all! The handle is sturdy and the brush can stand up which is awesome and really practical, especially if you have to do your make-up in less than ideal hygiene conditions, e.g. when travelling.

I prefer to use this brush to apply loose or compact powder foundations. I don't use brushes to set makeup, I prefer to use a damp beauty blender and pat setting powder on the tzone area. This brush provides a great finish to my Lancome, Shiseido, and Maybelline Better Skin powder foundations. Its priced well, washes well and is well worth the $9-$10. I have every RT brush that they make, and have never been disappointed... RT and Ecotools make excellent brushes.
