Ahhhhhh, the Foundation Brush. One of the greatest make-up inventions ever. I have yet to try any other brand, because the MAC was my first, and it meets my needs just fine. Soft, yet firm...

This is my first foundation brush, I bought without even touching the bristles to check for softness. From reviews here I was not mislead and it turned out to be a very good buy. The bristles are...

I purchased this brush about a year ago to apply Select Tint with, and it worked wonderfully for that, and all other liquid foundations I used. The brush gave an even, flawless application, and it...

I can't believe I've never reviewed this before! I bought this brush over 3 years ago, and it's still in excellent shape. No shedding, very little fraying. The $30 price was definitely worth it! I...

I use this to put my mouse foundation on. It covers really well, but if you don't work the foundation in enough it will leave brush lines. It gets gunky if you don't clean it regularly, like after...

Like elusivelotus, I don't know if it's me or my technique or this brush, but every time I use this brush, my foundation streaks. The brush seems to be of good quality, like all MAC brushes, so...
