La Mer

La Mer creates luxury, high-performance skin care and makeup by harnessing the power of the sea. In the 1960s, aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber set out to help heal the appearance of scars he suffered in a lab accident. Pioneering the use of sea kelp and bio-fermentation in skin care, he created Miracle Broth™—the elixir that powers the legendary Crème de la Mer.

Great quality brush.

I would definitely recommend this brush to apply foundation, creme/powder bronzes, etc. Perfect size. Doesn't irritate my extremely sensitive skin and the end result looks air brushed. I have Trish McEvoy, Chanel, Dior, Bobbie Brown, Mac, Estée Lauder, Laura Mercier, Versace etc brushes and this brush is superior to them.

Worst Brush

I love La Mer, but I don't know how anyone can use this for applying foundation. The brush is too flimsy and weak to spread any kind of product on the face. I have tried to use this with liquid foundation and liquid concealer and both of them basically were not blending into my skin at all because the brush had no strength in it whatsoever. This should be a $10 brush at the drugstore.

Soft as silk Does the Job Beautifully

This is so great. I was using a regular foundation brush and realized I could not be happy with the results no matter what color of foundation I used. I was told finally and actually saw a tutorial on La Mer on how to apply with this foundation brush. I finally have it in my possession and it glides my foundation on beautifully! If you are/were like me in the constant stage of wondering why I couldn't look good in foundation, this could be your ultimate answer.

I hated it...

I was so excited about this brush because the reviews are so positive....except i had to use A TON of product because it just swallows it up! I use liquid foundation and using it w/this brush just made it all disappear. I kept having to pump more and more product onto my face. It was crazy. This one's going back....totally not worth the almost $100 I paid for it!

Favorite foundation brush ever

I love this foundation brush. I have foundation brushes from Trish McEvoy, Artis, and Smashbox, and this is my all-time favorite. Love the tapered design, the size, the ease of use. It’s easy to clean and dries pretty quickly. Okay I admit I’m a La Mer addict but this brush really is the best!
