There’s a reason professionally trained makeup artists don’t go directly onto the face with dots of foundation and blend it out with a sponge. In addition to soaking up too much product, a sponge tends to press product onto your face without distributing it it evenly.
Which is why a brush can be useful. Not necessary, but useful. I am definitely a proponent of, if something works for you, go ahead! Keep doing it. So if using your fingers is comfortable for you and you can still achieve your makeup goals then just skip this review! If using a sponge is your preference then by all means go right ahead!
Description:
A makeup brush meant for application of cream and liquid products.
Bristles: Synthetic (material unknown)
Ferrule: Metal
Handle: Wooden painted with black (I am just guessing because there isn’t any information on their website).
Price: MYR 65 (by the way, based on a previous The Body Shop brush review, link here, their prices haven’t changed at all since at least 2015)
Where to buy: Online on thebodyshop.com.my and at their stores nationwide.
Pros:
> The brush is designed very suitably for its purpose.
> Size, shape and bristles are perfect for cream and liquid products.
> Applies product beautifully.
> A few years old and has evidently stayed intact!
> Not a single strand has frayed or shed.
> VERY sturdy! So well made!
> For synthetic bristles, they are EXTREMELY soft! Softer than any of its kind I own or have touched.
Cons:
> The handle is wider at the bottom making it unable to fit traveling cases.
Note: I initially wanted to add the price as a con but the brushes are definitely worth the price! Specialty brushes of the same kind would cost a LOT more.
Rating:
9.1/10
LOVE LOVE LOVE this brush! Will definitely invest in more brushes from the brand in the future.

I have a few different foundation brushes – some work for me, and some just make my foundation streaky. I do like to apply foundation with my fingers and then use a brush to even things out.

Oooh, I see. May I part some knowledge. I mean you’re doing great already but just if there is a good foundation brush like this one in your collection and you haven’t used them in a while. I find it very effective to pump a little product on the back of your hand, picking up the product and dabbing some away first on the back of your hand and then applying in light layers help. Here’s the other trick. After applying, a dabbing motion with the softest part of the tip of the brush helps diffuse the streaks and presses the product onto the skin… If you are already aware of this and it still doesn’t work then just disregard my advice! Hahaha!
