Foundation brush recommendation?

Jul 11, 2014

Hey my beauties!

So, I've been using my UD naked skin foundation with my UD optical blurring brush...problem is, is that it's just the little mini one. I'm not sure if I plan on buying the actual size brush.

I usually always use liquid foundations, so any brush you'd recommend me that'll work? :)

Does it have to be a brush? I always used to use foundation brushes until I got a beauty blender and I absolutely love it! It works with any foundation.

I very recently bought the Louise Young Super Foundation Brush. It really is fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

I used to use that foundation too and I also find that it applies beautifully with a real techniques expert face brush or their stippling brush as well.

I'd like any and all recommendations Sandra! Sometimes I'll like full, sometimes natural.


Thanks for the recommendations ladies. Maybe I'll check out the real techniques, I've heard decent things about them.

Where'd you get the Louise Young brush, Becky? I've never heard of the brand :)

Kelly, yeah it's a decent brush! This was my first time using a face brush for foundations and it didn't really impress me. Maybe it's because it is the mini one and kind of hard to work with. Hahah.

If you're in the UK then Harvey Nichols and Selfridges sell it, otherwise it's online and I'm pretty sure they ship internationally.

I heard a few beauty bloggers rave about it and I needed a new brush so I went up to Harvey Nichols and got it, the sales assistant who served me also said how good a brush it was and I definitely agree. If you can get your hands on it then it's amazing!

Those of you who has used the RT brushes, I have to order them online as they're not available anywhere near me.. So my question is, do they hold up well? Shed?

Rissa G.

Ahh okay, unfortunately I'm in the states. Lame. :( I'll have a look around online, thank you! :)

That's a shame, pretty sure they do ship but I'm not sure about prices.

In regards to the real techniques brushes I think they're really good for the price. I've never noticed any shedding or anything like that.

Thanks again, Becky! I'll take a look online.

Ah thanks for the heads up, Jacqlyn. I'll look at Sonia kashuk's website. :)

I have a lot of RT brushes Renay and they don't shed, I absolutely love them! My favorite is the expert face brush, its perfect for foundation! But other than that I like my beauty blender for getting an airbrush finish. RT has a makeup sponge that's a great dupe for the beauty blender and is only $6!

Ah Jacqueline! I was sort of hoping you'd answer, I was looking at the Shisheido one. Thank you for your recommendations as well! :) I'll definitely look at hakuhodo brushes!

I've also been looking at getting the Shisheido dual balancing foundation! So I'm glad you brought that brush up.

I love the real techniques expert face brush...I have not experienced any shedding from this brush and I've had it a good six months already...I don't own the original beauty blender but I do have the real techniques on and I also love that for my foundation, concealer or bb cream.
