Details & care

What it does: A synthetic-bristle foundation brush for applying, blending, and buffing liquid foundation.

What it does: With soft, densely packed bristles and a round head, this full coverage foundation brush is designed to build coverage and apply foundation to hard-to-reach places like around the nose and corners of the mouth. Tapered brush head lets you apply to the hard-to-reach spots. Short, tightly packed, yet ultrasoft bristles buff and blend gently on skin.

How to use: To apply corrector, use brush to gently press and blend formula onto areas of discoloration. To camouflage blemishes and dark spots, dot and buff concealer to cover. Use a stippling motion to blend any foundation formula around the nose and corners of the mouth (or wherever you need more coverage), and blend for a seamless look.

How to use: To apply liquid foundation, use pressing motions for full coverage or small, circular buffing motions for sheer coverage.

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics was founded in 1990 with the introduction of 10 super-wearable lipstick shades. Revolutionary foundation sticks soon followed, as well as a complementary skin care line that underscored the brand's purpose: to enhance the natural beauty of the wearer—working with what's already there, without any artificial colors—so a woman always looks and feels like herself.

BEST BB FOUNDATION BRUSH

I use this brush for my foundation, but I use it to apply my moisturizer first. Then without wiping it off, I use it apply my stick foundation. Having the leftover moisturizer on the brush makes the foundation go on smoother and more sheer. Great brush!

Brush tip absorbs foundation, not in a good way

I’ve been using este lauder with this brush for almost several months now. I’ve cleaned the brush a couple times now with proper solution and the brush absorbs the make-up in a terrible way. It becomes thickened and semi-hardens as it nears the core of the brush. Because of this, the brush tip does not apply as flawlessly as it did in the beginning. I would not recommend using this product.

Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Brush

I hesitated buying this brush because I already have the Tom Ford Brushes, but I wanted to try it for my liquid foundation. I saw many YouTubers using it and they seemed to love it so I went ahead and bought it. Now I know why so many people love it. It's very soft, but compact and really buffs in your foundation really well. I love it and would highly recommend it if you are looking for a great liquid foundation brush. I have used the brush bristles damp and dry and it works great both ways. Instead of buffing (circler motions) you could also stipple your foundation on as well with this brush.

People proof packaging

I purchased this brush in-store but they were out of stock & it was shipped to me. I have no issues with the brush itself. However the shrink wrapped plastic protection was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remove! I could not get it off without using a scissors. The wrapping was so tight I could not cut it off without scratching the the Black trim on the brush. I should’ve bought it back to the store & let them remove it. It’s going back to the store.

brush madness

I have a thousand brushes but the BB gal said I must try this one. "It will change your life". Really? A brush? Well...this is the best brush I have ever bought. Never "sheds", easy to clean. I use big, circular movements over my entire face with the BB compact foundation. Just lovely.

Does Not Waste Foundation

An amazing liquid foundation brush! I've used all different ways to apply my silk creme foundation to my skin and this brush by far gives the best result. With this brush, I've used no more foundation than when applying with my fingers. I may even be using less. With my five star rating this goes without saying, but, my complexion looks flawless but not overdone. I've been really impressed with all of Bobbi Brown's brushes but this one by far is my favorite. Definitely buy, you won't regret it!

Excellent brush,,,,,,but

This is the 2nd brush I have bought from Bobbi Brown. The brush is great. Why only 4 stars? The packaging. There is some kind of plastic that the brush part (top part) is sealed in. It is hard as heck to get t off. I'm not kidding. You cannot just pull it off easy.....there is no perforated area to pull it off. I had to wedge a knife under the plastic part to get it to cut off.....while doing this, the handle part get's scratched. This is the 2nd brush from BB that I've had this problem with. I display my brushes on my makeup table.....now I've got 2 brand new scratched up ones. I won't but a BB brush again, I'll stick with MAC. MAC opens up real easy....these BB brushes are next to impossible to get open. Very disappointed.

You get what you pay for!

This brush is the best face brush I have used thus far! I use it with my make up forever compact foundation and it provides full coverage. I've used the brush everyday for the past few months and it has not shed a single hair. It's expensive but I will not hesitate to buy another if needed, it works so good! I've been searching for a face brush to do justice with my compact foundation and this is a winner!

Nice brush - Handle too short

I bought this brush to replace one from a set that I'd had for years. It's much shorter in the handle than my other brushes and not as full. So I was a bit disappointed in the quality. I'll use as a backup brush and search for one that is like my original - perhaps from another company.

Perfect for blush

This brush is outstanding for powder blush application. Brush the powder on the brush, then "stipple" on the apples of cheeks and up toward the temples, then use the same brush stroking over the cheeks areas and edges of the application area to blend. It allows me to build up the color and gives a natural glow.

Run Don't Walk to Purchase This Brush!!!

I am a bit of a foundation brush fanatic and have tried many kinds to get the airbrushed flawless finish I am looking for, including top end Japanese brands and goat hair brushes. I am not sure what this brush is made out of but as the other reviewers have commented, it is unbelievably plush and soft. But even more importantly, using this brush to buff in foundations of all types ( liquid, cream and BB Foundation Stick) will make your skin look poreless and smooth. I was shocked when I first saw the results. My skin is in excellent condition but this made it look absolutely perfect. The size of the brush is also incredible. It is smaller than most foundation brushes and is so good for areas around the nose and eyes. I don't think there is a better foundation brush out there!

Nice brush, but no cover

Bobbi Brown used to have plastic covers for their brushes. While this brush is works just fine and is easily cleaned, I think that even Bobbi Brown has cut back on their product by not providing a cover for the brush.

Love this brush

I own three Bobbie Brown brushes. I love them because of their durability, softness, etc. I had just purchased Bobbie Browns compact makeup - I own two of her liquid foundations. I almost returned the solid foundation as I couldn't apply it in a way that looked good on me. I decided to try this face make up brush to see if it helped. So glad I did. What an amazing brush. The foundation went on flawlessly. The brush is soft and not scratchy on my face. It washes well. No loose bristles. Glad that I don't have to return the foundation. Great purchase. Highly recommend!
