    I love this brush, definitely one of my favorites. It applies foundation beautifully so easy and fast and because it's so dense it's amazing for powder too! I've been using it to apply pressed...

    I have sensitive skin and regular brushes cause me to break out. This brush is full synthetic and very smooth! Applies powder or blush flawlessly!

    I was on the fence between this and the 190 foundation brush, but after reading the reviews I was sold on the 189. It also didn't hurt that I found it at my CCO for $28, so it was a no brainer. ...

    Really love this brush...for foundation. Particularly my cream to powder prescriptives, because its so big I can apply and blend quickly. Tried it for powder but it made me look really powdery.
