Real Techniques

Expert Face Brush

Dense and domed, so it lays product down rather than diluting it. This is the tool for coverage: the same foundation buffed with this reads a full step more opaque than the same foundation bounced on with a damp sponge.

Worth knowing. Small circles, then a few light sweeps to knock the circles out. Sweeping only, from the start, is what leaves streaks.

One brush, around $10. A matte finish, All-day wear, An affordable pick

Real Techniques

Powder Brush

Large and loose, so it deposits a veil rather than a layer. For setting the areas that actually get shiny, which for most people is a band down the centre of the face and nothing else.

Worth knowing. Press and roll rather than sweep. Sweeping powder over wet foundation moves the foundation.
