The bristles are about the size of a penny (roughly). I find it works great, but I do know what you're talking about when a concealer brush is too small (I have one myself, it never gets used after buying this one). If you want a larger brush with the same shape try to find a liquid foundation brush.

The bristles are a half inch wide by 3/4 inch long. It's rather flat.

It's a small brush used to conceal small areas.

I believe this was designed to be a brush meant to focus on specific areas that need concealing, such as acne scars or undereye circles. It's definitely not large enough as a whole face brush (unless you have a lot of time and patience :P). Hope that helps!

it is not meant to apply to the entire face but rather to cover up certain areas (like under eye circles or red blotchy spots around the nose and cheek area)...and it works really well at maximum coverage for these smaller areas!!

its for smaller areas. the top is alittle bigger than the top of your pinkey.

this brush is for concealing so i would not use it to cover the whole face. You would use it where u have dark spots, red spots, or discoloration to cover them. Then with foundation you would go over the entire face with a kabuki brush if it is a powder foundation. For other types of foundations you will use different application tools. When you do this you should get a nice even color on ur face and if you want really smooth looking skin use a primer.
hope this helps

YES!! THIS BRUSH CAN DO IT ALL!! I use it for all types of concealers i have!

I love this brush!! I use it with liquid concealer, and it covers fabulously!

I only use cream formulas (non-BE) and this has been perfectly fine.

yes i use this for my make up forever concealer and it works just as well as if i used it with my mineral products

Yes you can use it with pressed powder, loose powder, or liquid makeup.

Yes! It works with powder, cream or liquid concealers.

it's about a half inch across the widest part of the bristles.

It's about 1 cm wide and a little over a cm long.

This is not the brush one would use for all over foundation application. the "functional" size is about 1/2" x 1/2"

It's a half inch wide by 3/4 inch long ...and the brush is rather flat. Hope that helps!

It's pretty big it covers my under eye circles in one stroke practically.

Try baby wash. It's super cheap and gentle. Very non drying.

I clean mine with warm water and a really gentle soap, like Clinique's facial bar. Just rubbing it (not against the bristles!) with a soapy washcloth gets out all the leftover concealer! Let it air dry overnight and you should be good to go :)

High quality shampoo. You can wash your make-up and hair brushes with the same shampoo you wash your own hair with.

I got the kit with the cleaning solution which works great. Otherwise I just use my dove soap or if it's really caked on, some liquid hand soap and warm water. It dries fine standing up and gets all the powder out. You might have to use your nails to get the little beads of powder off and then rinse again.

i use hair shampoo+conditioner to wash all my brushes and their still in excellent condition to this day. works just as well as bottled brush cleaners do, and a lot cheaper

I don't clean it after each use - I clean all my BE brushes about once a week with their special brush shampoo. All I do is fill up a big plastic cup with warm water and mix some of the shampoo in with it. Then I dump all the brushes in and leave them for about 10 minutes or so. Then I run each brush head under warm water before I lay them to dry. Takes about 20 minutes TOTAL, give or take. Totally worth it as I have never had to replace a brush in five years of using their products.

i clean mine about once a week, warm water and a little bit of purity made simple. air dry.

After using the brush for about a week, I wanted to clean it. So I went to Sephora to get a brush shampoo for it. The girl there said she washes her concealer brush with water and alcohol becuase it keeps the bristles tight. But for the other brushes you'd want to use a shampoo or a mild facial cleanser. She suggested Philosiphy Purity. I put a couple drops in my hand and it works wonders. My brushes are softer than when I first got them! The alcohol for the concealer brush made the brush look like the day I got it.

i use disinfecting dish soap (since baby shampoo doesn't do that) and extra virgin olive oil. This is the cheapest and best way to clean any brush. just mix them together on a plate and rinse with lukewarm water.

I use sephora brand purifying brush cleanser.

I would stick to concealers but u can use it for liquid foundations.

I don't know if it's meant to but I've tried it with liquid foundation and it worked welll for me.

It's a synthetic bristle brush so should be fine for liquid application. It's bristles are very dense so I would imagine you should use the liquid sparingly.

Yes!! I applied liquid foundation to my entire face with it, it just takes a while! :)

its WAYYY too small. the top bristle part is maybe alittle bigger than your pinkey!

the bristles are totally synthetic which is actually best for concealing. I wouldn't spend $20 on a synthetic brush though. This isn't a great brush
