The Body Shop Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

I am in love with this makeup brush!! The moment I saw it in the shop, I just knew that it had to be mine. I have always thought that body shop brushes were good quality but this one really performs perfectly. I have been using mineral makeup for about 2 years now and have long been on the quest for a "kabuki" brush (a small brush with a very dense head of dome shaped bristles) which feels high quality but does not cost the earth. Every time I spy one in a shop I have a play with the tester and in the meantime I had been using one that cost about the same as the body shop brush but was scratchy and shed bristles ...  Read the complete review

I have been wanting to try a good Mineral makeup foundation powder for a while now, and I understood that with Mineral foundation you need a good kabuki brush as mineral makeup powder is very fine and light.

Prior to this make up, i used to wear Dream Matt Mouse. It made my skin awful and was bad for my complection. I then discovered Rimmel Londons mineral make up, however i thought that it was very cakey, and applied very thickly onto my skin, giving an unnatural look, that i was not looking for. I then found Body Shops Mineral Foundation, and i have to say i was extremely impressed with it.

The foundation gives a light coverage that can be built up in layers to create a ...  Read the complete review
