This will work well with liquid foundation since it is made with synthetic fibers. Your foundation will apply to the skin smoothly and evenly.

absolutely yes! that is the reason why i got it, i kept seeing girls use a mineral brush as a foundation brush on youtube so i went to sephora and they recommended me this mineral powder brush and i use it on the reg with my make up forever face liquid after priming. i actually put the liquid on my hand first to warm it up then dab the brush into it a little bit to catch.
i also use it with my dr jart bb cream and it works amazing with that as well, better than the little foundation brushes!

I use it for liquid foundation every day and have washed it several times. Not only does it work great for my liquid foundation but it washes up very nicely as well (and it's never shed a hair)!

I use it for liquid foundation and it's the best I've ever used!

Absolutly I use this brush with Nars Sheer Glow foundation which is a liquid foundation and it gives amazing coverage you won't be disappointed! Because the bristles are short close together and more dense you will notice it takes little effort to apply with airbrush like results.

I wouldn't use this. Grab Sephora's Air Brush foundation brush. It's unreal.

Yes the sales rep said she uses it to apply her liquid concealer that doubles as a foundation too and it her favorite one to use.

Yes, you can use this brush with liquid foundations. Just make sure you clean them after each use with liquids and bare minimum every 2 weeks with powders

I wouldn't use it with liquid makeup, I'd use a sponge instead.

I use it with liquid foundation and the look is somewhat airbrushed. I really like this brush!

Yes it will work with liquid foundations.

If I were you I would not use a mineral powder brush for liquid foundation. The only brush I have ever used with liquid foundation is an actual foundation brush that looks more like a paint brush. I would suggest exchanging the mineral powder brush for a foundation brush if you really want to use a brush to put on your foundation. I prefer to put a drop on the top of my hand and use my fingers and a sponge to blend it in.

Yes. This brush works great with BE foundation.

I also use Bare Esscentuals. My BE Kabuki brush fell apart on me the other day, so I decided to try this one out on the recommendation of the Sephora sales associate. I like this brush much better than the Kabuki. the long handle gives you more control and the smaller head allows you better applications around your nose and the smaller areas. The bristles are much softer and less scratchy than the Kabuki was, but still firm enough to buff without a problem.

I would highly recommend this brush. I bought it to use with my Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation despite already owning the brush from the Laura line. This one is so much better.

I use this brush for the BE foundation (I've been using the matte formula of late) and it works great. I still prefer to use my kabuki brushes for the mineral veil but this brush does a great job of applying the foundation. I find that it really applies evenly and cleans up easily.

I am an avid Bare minerals user. This brush is better than the BM brush and also the Kabuki by sephora (I've tried both)

Use Professional Mineral Powder Brush #45. It's amazingly smooth, soft, puts on just the right coverage. You'll love it!

Everything is different in taste, but for me this brush is so much softer and better that BE brushes. Actually, I wouldn't even compare those two since BE is too harsh on my sensitive skin and Sephora is super soft and nice and most importantly does the job perfectly!

I find this to be the best buffing brush for loose mineral powder foundation. It will not flatten when you buff onto face yet tip of bristles are soft so no scratch to skin. The bristles will not break like the BE brushes. No mess in sink.

I replaced my brush from bare minerals with this brush and would definitely reccomend it.

Yes, this is a great brush for bare minerals foundation. However, I use a different brush for the mineral veil (a large and fluffy one).

I think this brush would be great. It's really soft, so it won't disturb what you've already done. It's also a nice size.

I really like this brush. I use most of the BareMinerals brushes, but I really like this one!! It is very soft and seems to hold the make-up better in the bristles.

Unfortunately it doesn't but I highly recommend Brush Guards. They're really good and they protect the bristles from bacteria and other stuff you don't want to have in your brush when carrying it out. They also help keep the shape or your brush when you wash it. Excellent product! In my opinion its a must have for brushes! They come in different sizes to fit all your brushes and is reusable. You just wash it and you can use it again! Hope your daughter found the right brush!

Mine came in a plastic cover but it looked to be for shipping/display only. There's no way it would stand the test of time (especially in a makeup bag).

this brush came with a plastic cover, but once you rip it, it's not usable. so, no cover...

No cover

no cover or case

Not this one, but if you check the other brushes you might find one that does.

Unfortunately, it does not.

this doesn't come with a case, but its such a great brush that its worth buying and finding a seperate case for. Its a decent size, but would fit in any standard brush case/rollup - highly recommend!

Mine had a little plastic cover around it but it wasn't case like. The top was still exposed a little but I supposed the plastic peace would help keep bristles from straying. But as far as an actual case or cover to keep it completely concealed...then no it doesn't

No cover comes with this brush. Im sure you could buy a case separately to store it in

No it doesn't ace a cover.

This product's handle is about 11/2" longer than the Flawless Face brush, and its bristles are shorter, tighter, and are completely synthetic.

The brush head is smaller and the bristles are much softer. I feel like the smaller head on this brush allows for better control with powder foundation, but the BE brush would be better (if the bristles stayed in the brush!) for finishing powder (like mineral veil). And it feels nicer than the BE brush on my face.

The #49 mineral powder brush applies better then the B.E one I own both and thats just what i'v found the size makes no difference.

It's smaller, but much more dense and much softer than BE.
I actually really liked my BE brushes, until I tried this one. But I had to replace my BE because it sheds SOOOO much. The only thing the flawless coverage BE brush has going on the Sephora Mineral Brush is how much product it applies at a time (see review :))

The head of this brush is smaller and the bristles are more tightly packed together than the BE flawless face brush. I prefer this one because the bristles are synthetic and very soft.

I like this one better!!

About the same size. I like this one much better. So much softer and easier to blend

It's a little smaller in size so the application takes a little more time, but the finish is wonderful :) Plus, it holds up so much better and feels so much more smooth on the face! Love mine. I purchased this brush when my Bare Minerals flawless face brush fell apart even with appropriate care :(

This brush is slightly smaller than the flawless face brush; however, it is still the perfect size to fit in the lid of the BE foundation. I find that I like the smaller size even better to get around the creases of my nose. And this brush DOESN'T SHED! I don't think you will be disappointed....

Agree with other poster. The brush it compares to in terms of size is the BE Handy Buki. (Almost identical in size and function to it.)

I have been looking for a long time for a better quality brush that provides full coverage like the handy buki. This brush has totally done that! I LOVE this brush! HTH!

I would use it for ANY powder. Really versatile brush and works great.

Yes, it works with all powders, even blushes.

yes it can. Any powder make up can be applied with this.

Yes!

Yes

Yep - will work great (at least it has for me). It's my must have and reach for brush.

This brush can be used for any liquid, cream or powder product of your choice. Its shape enables you to buff any product into the skin easily.

This brush may be marketed for use w/mineral powders but will work with ALL types of foundation. I SWEAR this is the PERFECT little brush, my best friend! I use mineral powders, regular foundation powder, cream & liquid foundations & this brush is PERFECT EVERY TIME!
(I'm a makeup artist & have used this brush every single day since the day I purchased it...I plan on buying more!)
Just remember when blending, blend in small circular motions...you'll come out looking like a million bucks! ;)

I use it for that purpose mainly. I use it for all kinds of liquids, creams and powders, it's an amazing brush!

Absolutely!

The foundation is your base color, you apply that a little thicker and brush it in harder. The mineral veil is just a finishing powder and you lightly coat that over your foundation and blush. It just holds your make-up for you.

From my experience, the mineral foundation is more dense than the powder foundation.

Mineral foundation gives me more coverage than the regular powder foundation and it sets on your face better.

I would highly recommend Sephora Mineral PRESSED compact. Works really well and its not messy like the loose mineral foundation.

Mineral Powders are more natural for the face(sheer). They are a great for people with oil skin and are better applied with dual layered brushes.
Foundation Powders are normally a lot heavier and cover more. They are better if you use a Kabuki brush with them or wet a paddle brush and put it on it makes for a better coverage. :)

If you mean the difference between loose mineral makeup and pressed powder foundations - usually the only difference is just that, loose v. pressed. :) Some people dislike loose mineral makeup because of the inconvenience of travel (gets everywhere in baggage depending on how secure the packaging is). Where pressed powder is very portable. Some pressed powder I've found to be very sheer in coverage, and really used more to set a liquid foundation than for use alone... but it all depends on the brand and what it's designed for.
I like both, but tend to reach for loose mineral makeup.
I hope that helped, I may have misinterpreted your question ..

Foundation powder provides some coverage for blemishes, uneven skintone, etc. Whereas translucent powder serves mostly to reduce shine and set makeup. Both types can be found in mineral formulations. Mineral powder has a base of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It is finely crushed and loose (rather than pressed). Some believe that it is better for your skin. A brush like this will work very well for any type of powder. A mineral powder may take a bit more blending though.

Besides the ingredients there is not much difference between the two. And as far as application goes it....the same applies to both. I think a brush is best for the most natural finish and this brush I find is the best!

In my experience, the foundation powder is "heavier" than the mineral powder. A small amount of foundation powder goes a long way & it can be layered for more coverage. I use the Mineral Veil powder on top of the foundation powder. Since it has a finer texture, I can use a regular powder brush to dust it over my face.

Mineral powders tend to have a more sheer finish than most foundation powders and they work best when buffed into the skin. This brush is perfect for that.

All foundation powders are "mineral powders"; minerals are what is used to obtain the color in powder foundations (i.e. iron oxides, which are, minerals).

The main difference is the ingredients. Mineral powders have more "natural" ingredients & need to be buffed in a bit more than a regular foundation powder. Some people tend to be allergic to bismuth oxycholoride which is mainly & widely used in mineral (powder) foundations & it's derived from metal.
I guess my point is if you tend to have an allergic reaction to the mineral powder foundations stick to your regular powder foundations!
If you're interested in learning more this website is amazing...

This site will fully inform you of every ingredient you might be curious about! :)
The other main difference is coverage...mineral makeup does NOT have the same coverage as regular foundation to last through the day. It might look wonderful when you first put it on but b/c of it's "natural" ingredients the coverage wears off over time during the day...the staying power & coverage is NOT the same.
The application...well, you have to 'buff' the mineral makeup into your face for the coverage whereas the regular foundation powder you don't have to as much b/c of the formulation.

This brush is much softer than BE's. I find the BE brushes irritate my skin and are rough. This is soft, antibacterial and very controllable in its coverage. I would absolutely suggest this to anyone using BE brushes- it is MUCH BETTER!

Not sure about that. I use a fluffy powder brush for my MUFE high definition powder.

Although I'm no expert, I'd say no .. as it's probaby not the 'best' brush to use because the brush is quite compact and is best for foundation. You want a fluffy powder brush to apply any setting powders.

I've used both BM brushes and this brush and hands down. This is the BEST mineral powder brush I have come across. Plus it does not shed like BM's do. Super soft and the flawless glow you get after buffing your make up on with this is so exciting

DEFINITELY!!!! this brush is amazing for any powder!!

I own the HD powder and I just think you need a looser brush to apply the powder. I think the hair is too dense on this brush and this is more of a buffer brush where you can buff minerals onto your face.

I use this with the MUFE HD powder and it works like a charm!! Seriously, once you try this brush you will never, never go back to the scratchy BE brush.

This brush is smaller and well suited for applying color and coverage. A larger, fluffier brush would work better for the mufe hd powder.

I think this would buff the powder on nicely but as far as a gentle finishing application, it may be to dense.

Much better than the BM brushes, will do a great job of putting on the MUFE powder, just remember the bristles are so fine that it doesn't take too much product, about the size of a grain of rice!

I use a mild baby shampoo and it works great.

I use Sephora's brush cleaners with it.

i would clean it the same way you clean all your brushes except since this is a powder brush i would only do a deep clean every other week and just use a spray cleaner to spot treat every few days.

I usually clean my brushes with a facial cleanser or regular shampoo. That has always worked for me.

Brush cleaner or any anti bacterial hand soap. I use my Purpose face soap.

It should not have to change how you care for this brush. I use the Sephora brush cleanser and it works very well. If I'm traveling, I use my facial cleanser and it just takes a bit more time, but still removes any excess.
The trick is to do it often (if you use it every day, clean it once a week). This way you don't have tu rub hard or damage the brush!

I always just use a mineral makeup remover. It has been working great, and my brush is still in top-condition!

i think that the best way to clean the brush is with the sephora colloction wipe make-up brush cleaners

Gentle baby shampoo washed and rinsed in warm to cool water

I am not sure of the best way, but I use Sephora brand purifying brush shampoo once a week and it seems great so far. The brush shampoo is also anti bacterial and I love it for all my brushes. It cleans thoroughly and rinses off well.

yes you can but I find that i waste more product using this brush. For liquid foundation, personally I prefer to use the flat ones.

Yes ma'am! It is AMAZING with liquid foundations!!!

No

perfect for foundation, or tinted moisturizer

No

Would not recommend it

yes I do, use less mineral foundation than u would normally

Yes! It works the best with liquid foundation. Gives a flawless look.

Sure, I did ... it works well, but my preference is to just spread on foundtion with my fingers.

Definately. It's best to put the foundation on your hand first then dip the brush in it. Makes applying it more even and cleaning the brush a lot easier.

I have been using a kabuki brush for a while. I used Too Faced retractable kabuki brush. I switched to this brush and I am glad I did. The kabuki brush did work okay but I think this brush holds more of the product at once and is better for applying foundation.

Yes it can. Take your time to buff on one layer at a time before adding more powders to the brush. This brush will not flatten on your face when buffing which is one of the best things about this brush. The tip of brush is soft so your skin won't scratch.

This brush is the best from all of them.
I used all mineral makeup and I'm extremely happy with this brush.

Yes, it's a (better built) synthetic dupe of Bare Escentual's Handy Buki brush.

It works just as well.

This brush works like a kabuki brush but it has a longer handle. It is perfect for full coverage as the bristles pick up a lot of product. I've actually stopped using my kabuki brushes (I had the MAC one and a Bare Minerals one) since getting this brush. It works much better.

It holds the powders really well. I love this brush. I have all of the BareMinerals brushes, but I think I prefer this one!

I use to use a kabuki brush but it was itchy and scratchy, i was just browsing the brush section in the store and noticed this one was specific to mineral/loose powder foundations i love it goes on smooth and soft, evenly distributes powder

Yes, this brush allows for build-able coverage so when I'm having one of my unfortunate break outs, it saves the day!

This brush works so much better with my mineral makeup than my kabuki brush did. And it feels better on my skin too.
