For those who use this....

Does the brush head and handle seem narrow?

Every time I try to use it, my hand aches. Some brushes are easy to use-effortless. This BE brush makes application a chore.

I feel like it takes forever to blend my 3 drops!

I wish the handle was a little wider for control and comfort.

Re: BE liquid foundation brush

I have this brush, and I agree it's not very good. It doesn't hurt my hand (I have arthritis too in my hands, so I'm surprised it doesn't hurt the way it does for you), but I agree it seems to take forever to blend.

I've been interested in using a brush to apply foundation, because my pores seem larger now and a brush seems to help with that, but this one isn't one I like.

On the other shopping channel, I did see a Trish McEvoy foundation which came with a brush that she (Trish, of course) kept raving about, but it was a new product and expensive, so I thought I'd wait until I could read some reviews.

I love TE make-up but I have not tried her liquid foundation.

I really like how my pores look when I use a brush. I really like the Tarte brush that come with the Amazonian Clay make-up.

Re: BE liquid foundation brush

Have you tried using a primer? I didn't like the way the liquid foundation went on or how it looked until I used some Prime Time first. Without the primer it looked dry and uneven but with the primer it goes on smooth, fast (less stress on your hand), and I don't need to use as much foundation to get full coverage. Just a thought - if you already have a primer or can get a sample to try.

Re: BE liquid foundation brush

I was ordering something by phone when the BE website experienced problems. I asked the rep I was talking to whether she used primer beneath the liquid, and she said yes. Good enough for me. Her choice was Prime Time. I use that and Hourglass.

O/T but do you know if that Tarte brush is sold separately from the foundation? Thanks.

Re: BE liquid foundation brush

It's a great brush in my opinion. No problems using it at all.

Re: BE liquid foundation brush

I am looking forward to using the BE liquid every day after I finish up the mineral version- I just hate the mess. I was a faithful Reclaim tinted moisturizer person until it was d/c'd ( can't even find it on EBAY). I really liked having the color, moisturizer, and SPF in one step.

Now that I look around...... I do not see it sold separately! {#emotions_dlg.confused1}
