Should you buy it? Real Techniques Expert Face Brush is a applicator at around $10 for One brush. Dense and domed, so it lays product down rather than diluting it.

It suits a matte finish, all-day wear, an affordable pick.

What it is

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.
