I purchased this brush along with E.L.F eyelid primer and the bronzer/blusher brush (see my other reviews which evaluate these). I usually apply foundation with my fingers, but found that it got very messy when applying my makeup because I would touch all my other products with the foundation on my hands. Hence I decided to buy a foundation brush so that I could apply my liquid foundation without using my hands. I just wanted to try this out so thought i'd start off trying out a cheap brush, at £1.50 this product was a perfect choice.

The delivery of my products was extremely quick, it only took one working day to arrive and E.L.F text me (free of charge) to let me know when my goods had been despatched. When the brush arrived, I thought it looked good, not cheap at all, it came within a plastic cover, so the brush could be kept in the case within my makeup bag without getting dirty. The brush is very flat with a pointy tip.

I apply the foundation by firstly squeezing a blob of it onto the back of my hand, I then dab the brush into the liquid and apply it to my face in small strokes. I find that when I use this brush I use less foundation, it also gives great flawless coverage and helps to blend the foundation into my neck so that there isn't that horrible line separating the face/neck area. The pointy tip allows easy access to awkward areas such as at the sides of the nose and cupids bow at the top of the mouth.

The brush is very easy to clean, I either apply makeup remover to it and wipe off with a cotton wool pad or I use baby shampoo to wash with water. Both methods clean the brush from product very easily and the foundation does not overly stick to the brush.

Overall I give this item 5 stars. It is of excellent value and gives me sheer foundation coverage. Would highly reccommend.
