horrible brush, falling apart
This is the worst brush I’ve ever used. It sheds every use and the adhesive is barely holding on

Worth the money!
I was a little hesitant about buying the brush because of the price, but having tried it out in store before buying, in applying some foundation, I was sold. It's fantastic quality, applies product well and feels great on my skin- smooth and not prickly like some cheaper brushes!
If you can afford it, i would recommend this brush!

Beautiful brush
I recently bought this brush because it was recommended to me for use with the Hourglass stick foundation. It is very soft and pairs beautifully with the foundation to give a flawless diffused finish or to add extra coverage / blend a bit more coverage over blemishes when needed. I am very pleased with it but just taking off one star because I think it is a little overpriced.

I only own these brushes now
I only use hourglass brushes now. I purchased the foundation brush and I now own the full set!! They are beautiful, this applies my powder effortlessly and they wash really well! I have very sensitive skin but hourglass brushes are so soft and have never caused me any issues

worth the money
if you are in need of a brush for multi use, this is it! it is an investment but it can be used for applying foundation, and all your creams like blush, bronzer even on the eyes and highlighter. i love it for travelling and would totally recommend it!

Nice
I purchased this as a new bronzer brush and having previously loving the Hourglass Veil Powder Brush, I decided to try the No 2 Blush brush. I have to admit I have been a bit disappointed - this is nice, but just nice whereas in my opinion the Veil Powder brush is just so much better. I feel as though I wasted my money and should just have bought another Veil brush for my bronzer.

Luxurious blush
I treated myself to this brush a few years ago and love using it to apply blush. The bristles are dense and feel really soft, it washes well and hasn't shed or lost any hair. It is expensive but brilliant quality and long lasting so I think it is worth the investment.

Fab
I’m such a fan of Hourglass brushes. I love this brush to apply liquid blush and blend products. It’s dense and holds it’s shape but still fluffy and soft. It’s not streaky and it doesn’t remove product underneath. It also doesn’t shed despite cleaning it several times.

No 2 Foundation Brush
I’ve had this brush for years. It’s a really good foundation brush, isn’t too dense so distributes the product evenly and quickly. Bristles are really soft. Cleans really well, never sheds. Hourglass brushes are expensive but really well made definitely stand the test of time.

Disappointing for an Hourglass Fan
I picked up the Hourglass Liquid Foundation Brush No.2 recently whilst in store. As an Hourglass fan I was expecting a good quality product. However, I was not particularly impressed by the texture of the brush nor by the shedding of the hairs upon transfer.
