lovely brush
It was out of stock for awhile. I bought a spare for my travel bag. It’s not too big. Love Hourglass.

packaging is excessive
This brush has two layers of impossible plastic protecting the top. I chipped two nails trying to get the first layer off and cannot figure out how to get the second layer off. I am on vacation and do not have access to scissors, and haven’t been able to use this brush yet due to these plastic layers. In case this helps anyone — cut the brush out of its excessive plastic prison before heading out on a trip!

This makes me started using foundation brush
I always love using my hands or sponges to apply my foundation (hands are my favorite) because brushes tend to make the foundation thicker and soak up a lot of product. Also much faster using my hands. This brush totally changed me. This doesn’t soak up too much product and it makes the foundation so smooth over my pores. It still makes my foundation slightly thicker than using my hands but the smoothness and the speedy application impress me. I started to love using this brush to apply my foundation now. Very good quality with heavy handle and very soft hair. Also very dense.
