Has anyone used this brush with thicker liquid foundation, like EL's Double Wear? Any issues? Thanks.

I use it with Double Wear and I think it works well. I get even coverage and a nice finish.

i haven't used estee lauder doble wear foundation, but i used with ysl touche eclat and l'oreal lumi magique foundations. it applied them smoothly, i like it. i think it will work with double wear.

I have used it with dior's sculpt foundation and stefania d'alessandro cream foundation and it's application was outstanding:-)

Uhmm, Maybe. I use it with revlon color stay foundation. But, sorry to say this but I don't think this is a good foundation brush, the bristles come out and it doesn't really blend the foundation out on u're face.

I use the the brush with all types of foundation; but it's important to know that application should consist of stippling, not long strokes. Because EL double wear is on the thicker side be a minimalist with product upon applying with brush; built of gradually so that foundation is spread evenly. I always apply a primer first to give it a slip and further the foundation out evenly.

I've used it with my tarte 12hr full coverage which is thicker than the regular foundation and it applies it very well. Very smooth finish.

Hello :), these brushes are great for the price and are comparable but I would not say a dupe. I only had shredding with the pointed tip brush. The other three are great and they blend foundation really well. Give them a try and also try to get them directly from amazon or a US seller, because in doing so you will receive them faster. If you have anymore questions I will gladly answer.

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure, I only use it for my liquid concealer and foundation. It's a great brush that works best when applying liquid foundations.

I use other air brush foundation from other airbrush cosmetics, but I found a water base power by Oreal that I can use with my sprayer. It seems to work great for me. Go the the website of salon supply and you will find your foundations for your airbrush gun for a cheaper price. Good product at a great price and a larger bottle for the money.

I haven't used them with mineral powder myself (I prefer liquid foundation) but these are nearly identical to the Beauty Blender, and I've seen tons of MUAs on YouTube using the BB to apply mineral foundations. EnKoreMakeup's How To: Beauty Blender video covers how to do it very well.

They are miQQi brushes. Not sure if that's the name of the company. Anyway, they are decent brushes for the money. The duo fiber brush did quite a bit of shedding when I tried to apply liquid foundation with it. May be better used for powder products.

I wouldn't use this for mineral powder foundation - it's more of a coarse brush that works well with spreading liquid formulations. I think kabuki brushes work better for mineral powder foundations.

My husband has the green with a slight dip. Proraso is so reliable (A+) I can't imagine something used slipping by. Is it possible that the dip is to fit your brush while working up a lather?

No I would not use them for liquid foundation. Kirsten had a good answer, and I also suggest make-up sponges.

Yes it will. Since the brush is made with Synthetic Taklon Bristles, the foundation goes on your face and doesn't stay on the brush. You'll love the flawless finish this brush offers.

No, BUT. I took the brush out and cleaned it and the bottle with acetone,made it like new. My issue was not that the foundation was too thick but that my brush had a loads of built up. I also apply a very thin base coat. Hope this works for you.

I would use synthetic brushes for liquid foundation.. these brushes are good for powder foundation or mineral foundations, blushes, and eyes shadows.. i just bought a beauty blender egg for liquid foundation.. it cost about a dollar.

Have you tried cleaning it Once in a while? I havent tried powder foundation with it, but try to work with the brush for a while, maybe it will work out :

I know what you mean, those brushes are awful. The main purpose of this brush is to apply setting powder or bronzer, so my instinct is to say no - it's too large to be precise with, and designed to apply a light layer of powder rather than give any kind of coverage. However, I would highly recommend going to her website (realtechniques.com) to see if she has a brush that's meant to apply powder foundation. Because if it's anything like this one then it will be amazing.

I don't have a small face and I think this brush can only be used for powder, it is a large brush and if you try to use it for blush, i think the application would be spread out and I don't think this brush would be great for blending in blush as well, I use it only to dust powder to set my foundation. The pink brush in Travel set is better as a blush brush or the 3rd largest brush in the Core Collection set also is a good alternative for a blush brush.

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 :)
