I'm going to be perfectly honest with you here. Before starting this blog back in January, I owned only two make-up brushes - one for powder, and one for applying eyeshadow. I know that's completely unheard of in the beauty blogging world, but it's just the way it was. I applied my foundation with my fingers, and I found that it ended up looking quite patchy and 'caked on' - not good for a so-called beauty blogger!
The Foundation Brush is part of the 'Base' collection, and I use it to apply foundation and then blend my concealer, both for which I think it works really well. It's got an angled cut, which means it's super easy to reach those places typical foundation brushes don't reach (applying around my nose/eyes has always been a problem for me!), and I'm able to cover up any dark circles really easily. I've also seen a huge difference in the way I apply my makeup! Before, I'd be using a few pumps of foundation to cover my face, as my hands soaked up most of it, but now I use one tiny pump on foundation and it covers my whole face - such a money saver.

The only downside to this brush is after a few days, the bristles tend to stick together and leave a stripey effect on my face - not good. For this reason, I'd probably recommend washing this brush twice a week, as who wants to look like a foundation-covered zebra? I've been eyeing up the Expert Face Brush as a backup, just in case I haven't had the chance to wash my Foundation Brush - which I may have to add to my collection on payday!
Have you tried any RT brushes? Which ones would you recommend?
I am exactly the same as you and have only this week ordered myself some 'proper' makeup brushes, oops. This definitely looks like a good buy though x

Yeah the RT brushes seem to apply foundation so much more effortlessly than other brushes I've used! xo
DeleteI bought the core collection which had smaller versions of the face brushes. I love them, the only problem is they are a littler smaller but I seriously can not apply make-up without them now.

DeleteI've been looking for a new foundation brush! I used a Revlon one for a while and it just wasn't doing much and now I am using an Elf one and its good but I don't love it. I think I will try this! xx Rena
