I am always on the lookout for new brushes. I use mineral foundation, and it is not always that easy to blend. This brush is by far one of my favorite brushes. I bought it recently while out on a quick weekend trip. I noticed right away it was going to be my new favorite. It applies not only my mineral foundation, but it works well with mineral blush, and pressed powder. You can honestly use it for every application needed. I am now going to buy a couple more because they are so good. I also noticed when I washed it that it was different. It didn't shed like some of my other brushes, and the hairs stayed tight and formed. Not like some of my other brushes that like to go everywhere when you clean them. I def would recommend this brush to anyone wanting a new flat top foundation brush
