This brush is so soft, sturdy, of good quality and easily fits in your makeup bag. I highly recommend you buy this brush if you’re using the asa compact powder foundation, as it has a creamy powder formula and can be patchy if applied with the puff. I’m no makeup geek and I didn’t know it could be applied so much better with the brush! It’s highly pigmented so just twirl lightly , shake off the excess with a tap and brush onto your well moisturised face ( as I don’t like a heavily made up face for daily wear). I use it the powder foundation on its own with the brush and it’s working extremely well for me :)
