Optical blurring brush? yay or nay

[infinitize]

I have Marc jacobs face 2 brush right now, had Bobbi brown's full coverage brush but neither of them worked for my skin.
I'm trying to decide btw the optical blurring brush and Tarte's air brush finish bamboo foundation brush.

I use UD naked foundation, Chanel perfection lumiere, bobbi brown skin foundation, and Giorgio Armani foundations every now and then..
On Sephora website, people mentioned that the optical blurring brush is only good for liquidy foundations like the UD naked or YSL touche eclat..

any honest opinions would be more than appreciated!

I use the UD optical blurring brush with my YSL touche éclat foundation and I find that it blends and buffs it into my skin like butter. Ive used MAC 109, 188, 187 and a couple of others and I prefer the UD brush. I do think its best for liquid, maybe cream but not powder. Hope this helps!

I love that brush I use it everyday at work and I have one at home and I've had it since it came out and it's in perfect condition. I love it!

Thank you This is really helpful

which foundations have you tried with it? and did they perform differently for each?

 

[Sequinzombie]

I've tried the brush with nearly every foundation ulta sells. I can pick any brush I want to use and I love that one

I love this brush. It buffs my foundation perfectly into my skin. Every foundation I've tried worked except for the watery ones like Vitalumière Aqua (Chanel).

I haven't tried that one but I have a sigma flat top kabuki brush and it's amazing

Thank you

I was worried that its only going to work with liquidy foundations like UD naked or YSL touche eclat which I don't use for different reasons

I also use it with the illamasqua skin base foundation I think that's what it's called but it's pretty thick.

I love it! I use this brush with all foundations. It blends Estée Lauder double wear fine, even though that is very thick! It's takes quite a bit of cleaning though!

I'm a big fan of the brush, I use it for YSL Touche Eclat, llamasqua Skin Base and UD naked foundations. I feel like it's one of the better brushes out there and it always leaves an air brushed finish.

I'm late to respond but I LOVE this brush. I've used it with UD Naked Skin, Guerlain Lumière, YSL Touche Éclat and others. Gives a perfect, smooth finish. My only issue is that it takes a long time to dry when washed. Other than that, it's perfect. I use it every day.

If I use a foundation brush, it's this. But I have been using a beauty blender or fingers more often than not.

I adore this brush. I use it on every single client/customer I have to apply the foundation. It real blurs imperfections, gives very high medium coverage and blends so nicely. It works magic with any liquid foundation out there. Plust the price! You can't find better foundation brush out there for less money.
