Real Techniques Stippling brush

It is a good brush but if does shaver quite a bit 

Love this brush for me creamy blush. Highly recommend all Real Techniques brushes :)

I bought this brush having read that a stippling brush was an effective method of application for cream blush. I wasn't having a great result using my fingers and this brush seemed extremely reasonably priced. I won't call it cheap because it's a very good quality brush and makes a much better job of applying cream blush. It really is a doddle! The blush goes on your cheeks and not on the applicator. It applies just the right amount - no danger of over-application and looking like a toy doll. Very easy to wash using soap and water, dries very quickly too. I did try it for foundation as I noted that is its prime intended use but I wasn't quite as impressed. I may try again. I presently use a regular foundation brush and get a bit annoyed that half the foundation ends up being washed off the brush - a lot of wastage. This brush does cut out that wastage but I don't think I mastered the technique of getting an even coverage. When I used it my foundation looked very patchy - I had clearly almost missed some areas altogether. Obviously a technique that needs mastering. But as I did buy it for applying cream blush I am very pleased with it and would give it five stars.
