Stila One Step Complexion Brush #33

What it is:A buffing and foundation brush that works overtime to make foundation and concealer application a breeze.What it does:This dual-ended foundation and concealer brush allows you to blend both liquid and powder products seamlessly for effortless makeup application and a flawless finish. One side beautifully blends liquid, creams, and powder foundation into your skin, while the other delivers precision concealing for a perfected, polished complexion. The synthetic bristles are shaped to imitate application with your fingertips, but are firmer and more flexible for quicker, easier makeup application.What else you need to know:The tapered brush tip can burrow into tiny, hard-to-reach crevices and the synthetic bristles eliminate the transfer of oils and bacteria. It can also be used to apply eye shadow and cheek color.

Best brush I've ever used for liquid foundation, beauty balm, illuminizer and concealer. Products go on smoothly and evenly, no creases, lines, stripes, dots or other signs of bad blending. Love it!

Quality Brush- Domed Tip
-03.09.13
I have many Stila brushes, they hold up wonderfully. Bought this one after another brands foundation brush fell apart. Quality is there, did not realize how much of a dome the brush head would have. Good for foundation, not so great for cream blush. I like to double up applicator use to save space in my makeup brush roll.

I love this brush. It's perfect for overall coverage and concealing. It's also very high quality. I use it with the Stila Stay All Day Foundation and it's a match made in flawless skin heaven!

2 in 1, both awesome
-03.02.13
Best foundation brush I've ever used. Though the foundation side seems small and application can take a little longer, the tapered bristles are fantastic on the contours of the face and the finish is beautiful - I adore my Beauty Blender sponge, but haven't touched it since getting this brush. The concealing side is awesome, too. Great for blending and buffing.

Quick Take: worth the price
So much better than a flat stiple (sp?) brush because of the 3 dimensions type feel and style it is used like a paintbrush and its very soft bristles and does NOT shed. All time favorite foundation brush.

The best brush I have!
-01.03.13
This is my absolute favorite foundation brush, and I have quite a few. The first time I used it, I couldn't believe the difference in how I felt it applied and blended my foundation. The bristles are soft against the face, and leave you with an even, almost airburshed look. The brush is very good quality, easy to hold, and never sheds loose bristles. I use the smaller end to apply concealer, and for blending in the harder to reach areas like around my nose. I misplaced this brush for a few months and was so happy when I found it again! My other brushes just don't compare - well worth the price.

Best choice I ever made
-12.26.12
I was really hesitant to buy this because of the cost but I am so glad I did! I never wear liquid foundation, so I wouldn't know how it holds up for it but I use both ends for concealer. I was getting tired of using the tiny flat brushes for concealer because it took longer for me to cover a larger part of my face, so the bigger end of the brush cuts my time way down and is so much easier! It feels great on my face and covers my face more. I use the small end of the brush for tiny blemishes I have and it's amazing as well! With this brush I can cover a large amount while also getting into the little crevices on my face, and the brush is super soft. Definitely a great investment!

Best Foundation Brush Ever!
-10.09.12
Quick Take: synthetic hair
This is the best foundation brush ever. I hate flat brushes, that leave your makeup looking streaky and not well blended. This brush is the complete opposite! I feel like I get the most incredible airbrushed look with this brush. It's super easy to blend the foundation with this, you can use it as a stippling brush as well. It fills in pores and applies your foundation flawlessly. I use the new Stila Stay All Day Foundation, and I love it, and this brush is perfect for applying it. I highly recommend this brush!

Great Brush!
-10.04.12
Quick Take: soft bristles
The brush is well stiff yet soft enough for foundation and concealer. The brush works great. Only problem I have is I don't know which side to stick it into the container in because both sides are brushes. I hope I don't end up ruining one side eventually.

I'm new at using a foundation brush but the difference in coverage is amazing when applied with this. I just switched to Hourglass foundation and was getting frustrated try to apply it until I tried this brush. Does a really great job and also excellent for blending concealer around the eyes.

Perfect.

This brush is great. It's so soft and applied make up evenly. It's pretty pricey, but I was really looking for a quality brush. I would definitely recommend it.

Great, but easy to over apply
-05.26.12
Quick Take: soft, easy to use, blends well
This brush definitely holds up to the hype - the convenience of the dual ends, the softness of the bristles, and the even application. Both of the brushes are of high quality. The only gripe I have is I am used to applying my foundation (MUFE HD) with my fingers. I usually use at most a full pump. For some reason whenever I use this brush I get even application but it seems to have fuller coverage.
This may be actually a pro if fuller coverage is what you're looking for, it is just more than I need on a day to day basis. If I have an important event then I'd be sure to use this brush for my foundation, but for every day, my fingers offer a more sheer, natural finish.
The concealer brush is nice for the under eye but I actually think I get a better application with a little beauty blender.

One of my favorite brushes!
-05.17.12
This Stila brush is definitely one of my favorite brushes! I think it's a little small for applying foundation all over the face. Instead I use it for my concealer. I use the larger end under the eye area and the smaller area around the nose, mouth, and any other spot areas. It blends the concealer so well and I love that the brush is double ended!

I love this brush! I apply my foundation with the big end and concealer with the small end. It's perfect for blending liquids into the skin and leaves a flawless finish. I like that the ends are tapered so I can cover the corners of my nose.
