Mineral make-up brush

NotVeryTechie

Hi all

I recently started using Bare Minerals foundation powder and I love it. It really works for me. The only problem is that their brushes are rubbish. They shed hairs on everything. My clothes, the floor, everything is covered in hairs. I sent the first brush back and got a replacement and it is still doing the same, so it must be the way they make them.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better brush - that doesn't cost the earth?

Thanks

I love E.L.F's powder brush (not their mineral brush!). it's a flat top long handled kabuki brush and it's brilliant for powder foundation. it doesn't shed at all and it's only £3.95.

Check out beautybay.com and zoeva a German brand bloggers are raving about. Very inexpensive and great quality.

Body shop brushes are the best I have.

Thank you so much everyone for the ideas. I am going to check those out. I am so keen to use a brush that doesn't shed.

I've had the elf one for months and it's not shed yet

I use the real techniques brushes and clean them with baby shampoo although I hear the ELF ones are pretty good, I've also heard good things about Zoeva

I am quite intrigued by the ELF brush, but I have never used a flat-topped brush for application. Is it very different?

no not at all, it's like a flat top kabuki brush, it gives good coverage with this brush
