Will this brush give me full coverage, or sheer? Can you build layers with it?

Hi, Depending on how much product you use you can get full coverage. With my cream foundation, I was able to build the coverage. I'm still learning to use the brush but I do like it - very soft bristles. I was using a damp sponge to apply my make-up and I don't see any less coverage with this brush :)

For me it gives medium to full coverage. You can also build on it by using the stipple method as well. It just doesn't work well under eyes since the brush is so full. But I use a concealer brush in the smaller areas. Over all a great foundation brush. Especially for the price!

Hi! I would compare this brush to the Sigma F80. You can apply full coverage or sheer foundation down easily depending on what type of foundation you use. The quality is excellent and you can't beat the price of The Beauty Junkees Co. You will have an email from them within a day of purchase for use and care instructions. My brush arrived in two days. I ended up buying four of their brushes I was so impressed- and I love them all.

Well..both. Its depends on the type of foundation you are using...when I use a BB cream..it's more sheer. When I am using a fuller coverage foundation..I get more coverage. You can probably build layers I suppose...although I personally just use a concealer, foundation, then set with a powder..and done! Hope that helps!

It defiently depends on what liquid you are using with it, but you can certainly build layers very successfully.

That's what I heard, but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference lol I ended up buying the brush later on, but the brush was so soft that it seriously doesn't make a difference when applying it by hand. Also the shopping for the brush is so now worth it lol so just stick with applying it by hand, well if you like

YES! make sure to wet the sponge thoroughly before using it. 1) make sure its very damp 2) squeeze out the excess water so the sponge isn't dripping 3) make sure the sponge is nice and moist ( I make sure its extra moist for mine, so the sponge doesn't soak up a lot of my foundation...that's my opinion haha) These steps helped my foundation look beautiful with an airbrush finish(:

I am very fair completed with light eyes and hair and I wear the light sheer. Not sure what the next deeper color would be. It really is sheer anyway, so I imagine it would blend in well if you went with the medium. My skin is so pretty withthis makeup, I love it's hydration.

Look for the real techniques expert face brush. The bristles are shorter and its not as large as this brush. I use many brushes to do makeup and i left all after using this expert face brush. It applies liquid foundation lie a pro, and talk about seamless blending and covrage. It hides all flaws. then u can use the same brush and apply powder. But if u want u can also invest in the angle foundation brush amd usr the expert face brush for powder. U would be very pleased. Oh and people after a while of heavy face traffic, any brush will shed, eventually. But they cant be new and shedding lile crazy, then get rid of it. Hope this helps.

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying.I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

In my opinion id go with this one.. Both can be used but this one works better for buffing in the bb cream.. The foundation brush really just spreads it...

This is more of artist set up. You could probably do it depending on what you want.. even spray 1 color maybe not so good for solid coverage.. but if you were doing a painting of some sort with detail it would work well.

I would not use this as a foundation. The tint is very very light and sheer and is just enough to give a little bit of a "blur" effect. It does work well to mix with a foundation that's more dewey to convert it to more of a matte bb cream. Mixes great with Clinique foundations.

In my experience, it will not completely cover a break out. But, it does a good job of helping conceal when used with bare minerals foundation. I love this product and use it regularly. This is some what odd, cause I have a blem on my chin next to my lip and applied this this morning and was happy with the result. I use a smaller brush to "push" it into where I want it when I have a blem. The brush that comes with it is remarkable. Good Luck.

Hello, I think it would, as lond as you start from the bottom of the matte, the teeth are very pointed and not stiff, I would just go slow,most mattes are from lose hair. I really like this brush,

I have used Prismacolor Watercolor pencils and Derwent with paint brushes loaded with water. It works beautifully. I have not done a lot of layering of colors w/water or scrubbing. I'm not sure how they would hold up, although they are thick. It's worth a try, these are inexpensive and can be used for many art projects.

It is very easy. Please check the link for the detailed step by step method on how to apply foundation with the brush. I personally love to use this ( expert face brush) to apply my foundation. :-) http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/makeup-tipshow-to/how-to-apply-liquid-foundation/ :-)

Absolutely. I frequently finish my look with a blush just a shade or two darker than my skin tone. Having this product underneath it didn't make it look cakey and I didn't have trouble blending out the blush on top (with a kabuki brush) like some of the other brands I have tried.

I think liquid foundations (I mostly use CC creams rather than heavier foundation) go on beautifully with this brush and it only takes a TINY bit to get good coverage. I don't know why it looks so much better than using a sponge or why less product is needed, but I love it.

I have chin-length hair that is definitely not super thick, and sometimes I find that this brush more "skims the surface" of the hair than truly brushes through. So this might depend more on the thickness of your hair, instead of the length.
