I have been meaning to gush about my Cover FX #160 Cream Foundation Brush ($38) forever. The shape of its natural, goat-hair bristle head unnerved me at first — I was more used to the standard foundation brush with its flatter, paint-brush look. But when it was the last clean foundation applicator on a big wedding gig, I gave it a go and fell in love. With this dense, yet fluffy-top brush, I can lightly buff cream or liquid foundation over the skin for a smooth, even finish in less time than when I use a flattie.
Whoa, shortest product post ever. Looks like Fluffy saved me time here, too. Sweet.

Please get out of my head – there isn’t room in here for you too! I was going to ask you about a foundation brush and now I know! Brilliant!
I do love this brush, Jenn — but I only use it on clients. I don’t use a foundation brush on my own face. I’m odd that way. *grin*
I bought the brush and I love it (still getting the hang of it) but I need to get really close to the mirror because I’m super blind and the handle is too long for me. Thinking about making some ‘alterations’.
Hi Janine,
I’m glad you like the brush, it’s definitely one of my faves…thanks for the call out!

Two words: hand mirror. You can manoeuver a hand-held mirror out of the handle’s way and still see close up. I have a cute one from a recent website launch that I can give you!
My pleasure, Wanda — I’d been wanting to talk about it since last year!
