Not worth the price

A good brush, but nothing that's worth paying $50 for.

Just not good enough

Quick Take: natural hair
I love bobbi brow brushes, I have many of them and I can say most of them are great (specially the eye brushes). I have been using this blender brush to apply face powder and it is too rough and harsh on my face.
It irritates my skin and feels I am rubbing my face against a broom or something. I got this brush on a set and wish I could return it... but I like all the other brushes on the set.
Not worth the 48$ price tag!

Bobbi just makes great brushes, period.
-12.08.12
I use this only to apply my Bronze Shimmer Brick, but have found it's also helpful as a finishing brush to blend my blush and bronzer and Shimmer Brick into a nice finish.
It's a bit too big just for blush, but not quite big enough for effective bronzing. So if you're using it for multiple product application you may not be happy. But if you're looking for a final step in blending - it's wonderful

Great Brush for many application needs~

Quick Take: soft bristles, feels soft and luxurious
You will absolutely love this brush. Works wonders for blush, powder and bronzer or shimmer brick but does a perfect job at simply...blending. When your face is made - simply use this brush to smooth out any lines, heavy areas...and even apply a highlighting powder! It is multi-tasking for sure!

Quick Take: natural hair
This is a good brush overall. I like using this for blush bur find it a bit too fluffy for bronzer. I like this with the shimmer brick. Knocking a star off for shedding.

Quick Take: natural hair
This is not as soft as I thought it would be. Starting day 2 (and every day after), no matter how well I take care of it, it sheds 1-3 hair strands. It is a good size and shape for picking up powder, which is what I am using it for. But, I am going to switch to synthetic after this. The hair will shed on my face if I'm not paying attention in the morning.

My blush brush bit the dust so I invested in the blender brush. It's really the perfect size.

Best all-around face brush...hands down.
-06.18.11
I have been using this brush for years. I have about 3 in my drawer. I own tons of brushes from all different lines, but this is my absolute favorite face brush. It can be used for blush, powder, bronzer...you name it. Very versatile and, for me, it puts just the right amount of product on my face the first time.

EXCEPTIONAL BRUSH FOR BLENDING, BLUSHING, BRONZING
-05.31.11
Quick Take: feels really nice on my face
I've had my Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush for years. It's lasted really well and always looked like new (until my neighbor's grandson dropped it, along with some others, into the toilet). I'm so glad to see that these brushes are still available, so I can get another one. The brush is reliable, grasps exactly the right amount of blush, and had another purpose too: brushing it gently over my face for 30 seconds after a stressful day relieves stress and releases facial muscle tension. I've tried that with many other brushes and I've only had one other brush that came close, but wasn't quite as good. There's something about this specific brush that felt good. I told a friend about it, and she tried it with her BB Face Blender Brush (which she's had "forever") and concurred.
I take really good care of my brushes, cleaning them each time I use them. That brush looked brand new for years. I'm sure it would have lasted for years longer, too, until it came to its unfortunate and untimely demise due to my neighbor's six year old grandson. This is an exceptional blush brush, and can be used for other face powders as well. It blends really well and is reasonably priced if you consider it could easily last for 10 or more years.

Quick Take: soft bristles, well made
I just bought this brush to use with my Smashbox Soft Lights Shimmer Powder. It is so effective with coverage and blending...I'm going to purchase another to replace my blush brush. This brush is soft and dense...no wasting product and no annoying shedding.

This brush is very soft and works well, however it smells horrible. I tried washing it but that made it worse. The bad smell makes this brush unusable.

Quick Take: soft bristles
I finally completed my brush collection and i have to say my recent additions are the best! I don't have the shimmer brick but this brush works great with my blush. It gives an even finish and the bristles are soft. I highly recommend this brush. It is worth it!

lasts for years, a favorite
-11.09.10
I purchased two face blender brushes about 6 years ago and have found them to be resilient, long-lasting and well made. Originally I purchased one each for use with two different shimmer bricks. I now use one for bronzer application in the hollow of my cheeks and one for blush/highlighter application. The difference between using this brush for blush and a "blush brush" is just control of application. I find this brush spreads the color in a more natural pattern which works well on my round cheeky face and alabaster skin. Brushes that are titled as blush brushes seem to leave too angled and deliberate a swath of color across my cheeks. Some though really want this precise application. I've found; however, this brush suits my needs when it comes to color. They also weather well under cleaning with both a brush cleaner or something more heavy-duty like a soap and water clean. They spring back to form like a champion and over 6 years I've seen very little shedding except immediately after purchase. You will find though that this brush requires some patience and layering because of the fact it doesn't hold a lot of product. I would imagine this is because it is a face "blender" brush and if you were using it to blend when finished you wouldn't want it to pick up your hard work and spread it around. Perhaps too this has to do with the intensity of pigment of the products I am using as opposed to the brush. This is preferable to me - better too little to start with than too much.
The face blender brush is a versatile addition to your makeup tools and accessories. You will start with the face blender and quickly become a bobbie brown brush convert.

This brush is so soft and well made. I absolutely love it for blending out my blush and for applying a dusting of finishing powder. Makes powder makeup look very light and natural.
