Glam by Manicare Buffing Foundation Brush Review

I have been using this brush with various different foundations all week and found when applying longer wear foundations that have more coverage I still had to blend & work the foundation in with a beauty blender. I also found the brush dense which was good but the brush head length made it not have very good control & made it harder to work the foundation in. Also saw a few brush hairs come off while using it unfortunately. Did love the thin long handle on it which meant it fitted in well with my other brushes on my vanity :)

Not being a fan of foundation brushes, but having been a few years since I tried one, I thought it was time I gave it another go. I'm normally a fingers girls, even when applying to others, as I like the product to warm with my touch. I liked the brush. It didn't have the problems I have had with other foundation brushes, which is leaving hairs behind and also leaving brush strokes in the foundation. I think this was due it's shape and the buffing action that was recommended to use it with. I tried it with my liquid foundation and with my mineral powder foundation and it was better with the liquid. It wasn't quite wide enough for use with the powder - a kabuki brush is better. And it was nice to not have hands covered in foundation afterwards!! It was soft, and very easy to use, gave a nice even coverage and blended well. I think I would only use it for when going out, as it does take longer than using my fingers, but gives a nicer finish. And I'm a hygiene freak so that way I can wash it each time I use it. The one thing I didn't like about at all was the length of the handle. It seems like its not necessary and it also didn't fit in my small make up case for going out and touch ups.

Not only is this brush designed so pretty its very light weight does exactly what is asked of it!! It is made of synthetic fibres and I love how the bristles are firm but at the same time very soft on the skin!! It picks up just the right amount of foundation and evenly spreads without leaving streaks in the base of your application like many other foundation brushes do! Easily up there with a couple of my fav synthetic brushes and I will definitely use it again and totally recommend this brush to others! Perfect for anyones kit, if you are just starting out or even if you are pro!
