UD Pro Optical Blurring Brush

I have both versions of this brush. I like the first version, the one with the silver handle better. Both are good for applying naked skin foundation. I bought the new version so that I would have an extra to use when the other was drying after being washed.
I guess I would buy a new one if I lost both of the ones that I already have. That’s just because this brush really is the very best …Read more

My review is for the current (2017) version with the black handle and gunmetal ferrule. I have had this brush for about a year and it is fantastic. It is nice for applying foundation (naturally I love it with UD Naked Skin foundation) but I prefer it for buffing out concealer. I apply whatever concealer I am using with a flat concealer brush, then spray this with water/setting spray and buff the …Read more

I've had this brush since it first came out and it's an essential to me. One of the only "expensive" brushes I have, it spreads and smooths both liquid and powder foundation really well.

I clean my brushes immediately after using them by giving them a spray of brush cleaner, wiping off excess product, and leaving them to dry. This one has lasted forever with that …Read more

As much as I love Urban Decay - this brush is a fail! In the beginning I loved it though. It worked amazing with liquid and cream foundations. Blended them nice and easily. I washed my brush with care and love. Always with soap. And let it air dry on a towel. But out of nowhere, it started to lose its synthetic hair. After just a couple of months. No matter what I do, it just won't stop. I …Read more

Overall - 3
Price - 5 - expensive! I think $26 Cdn
Packaging - 3
Probably wouldn't repurchase.


I put this on my wish list after seeing all the good reviews here. The price was a little much for me though. I ended up with it as a gift from a friend.

It is a good buffing brush, densely packed and super soft. The handle has a good heft to it. My …Read more

This is one of my favourite foundation brushes! Makes my foundation look flawless on my skin. Really similar to my beloved Sephora Mineral powder brush which is a bit cheaper but still the same in terms of quality.

I've been using the Real Techniques buffing brush for years now, and always thought it would be good to have a back up. I recently bought the UD Naked Skin foundation and thought I'd treat myself to this one instead.

Well, I love it. The bristles are soft and yielding, but not so much that the brush is useless. I'd say it's a hair (geddit?!) softer and more pliable …Read more

It works perfectly with the UD foundation, it really blends and makes my skin looks natural. It also works with powders. Needs to be clean daily to work better.

I love this brush! It does make your foundation look beautiful, especially when using it in a pressing motion rather than painting like. The biggest flaw is that it does only last about a year. I had my first one for exactly a year, and it started shedding like crazy. I still used it for months and it still works, but I just re-bought my second one. I'm going to keep my first brush and use …Read more

I got this brush last summer to go with the naked skin foundation and I didn't like it with the foundation and instead used it with my l'oreal true match and it blended perfectly! However, it's started to shed a lot :( like hairs just falling out with each buff. Liked it while it lasted
