Low quality
The bristles do not all extend to the edge. I couldn’t really tell until I unpacked it at home. Just feels like a low quality brush.

Learning curve, but great brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brush has a learning curve to it. The stippling on the brush long, but realized it's great for light weight skin tints. The shape of the brush works!

Mehh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is lightweight, with bristles that are both sparse and dense; honestly, it's not to my liking—at least for me, the bristles shed from the brush quite a bit.

gets the job done
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have always been such a fan of real techniques brushes for their affordability and material ! with this specific brush it definitely helps applying the skin tint for a more natural look but the brush does leave a lot of streaks so i think it depends on the type of fluidity of the product !! i think the brush also should be a bit more dense but overall it is a better alternative than using fingers for the spread !

Does its job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The brush is comfortable and soft but could blend a little better. I had to blend the same area over and over to get it to look how I wanted. Also, a few bristles came out during first use, so the quality could be better. Otherwise, it did its job.

Blends seamlessly! Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always used a beauty blender for these types of jobs because I never liked the look that brushes would give me. But this brush is so different and so much better! It blends seamlessly and makes my skin look airbrushed. Definitely a fan and would recommend!

Best brush for tinted moisturizer/foundation/ blush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear foundation occasionally but I usually apply tinted moisturizer everyday. This brush is perfect for applying tinted moisturizer. This brush is so soft and apply the moisturizer easily and evenly. It perfect size and shape for to cover small area. It had perfect size to hold and light weight. The brush's bristles are so soft and sturdy. I also apply blush using same brush and it's perfect for blush too. Loving this messfree applicator brush. I am sure this brush will be good for foundation application as well. Amazing addition to my daily routine.

A must have for a buttery blend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently began to use this brush to apply my skin tint, and it's made a huge difference in the appearance of my skin. This brush really helps create a natural look, while not leaving streaks or strokes on your face. A very seamless, smooth, buttery application tool that makes your skin truly look like skin!! I loved that it doesn't eat up all the product used, too. It helps blend so easily around the eyes and nose area, a must have for a quick and easy look. Also, super easy to clean and still holds up well after washing.

Good skin product brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big fluffy brush. Works well to blend skin products evenly across the skin. Sliiiiiightly itchy bristles so of you have sensitive skin, it might not be for you.

Versatile and smooth finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great versatile brush! If you look closely, you can see that there are two types of bristles. There are the black denser bristles and then longer sparse white bristles sticking out. I think that design helps a lot with the brush technique. I used this with a tinted serum and it worked well. I normally use my fingers to apply the skin tint but for this brush, I put some dots of the skin tint on my face and then used the brush to spread it out. It left a very smooth, clean finish that was not streaky. I do think it allows me to use less product this way because the brush was very good at spreading it. I also tried putting some skin tint on my hand, then dipping the brush and spreading it on my face, which was fine but didn't look as smooth, probably because it was too much product. Overall, I would recommend this if you're looking for a versatile base brush. Even though it states it's for skin tint, I think it would also work well with foundation. The size is good and I like the thicker base because it is stable to hold for application.

Great Brush!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for an honest review and I'm so happy with it. This brush is perfect for applying skin tints because the bristles are incredibly soft and feel very gentle on the skin. The shape makes it easy to blend product evenly without any streaks. It provides great control for a smooth, natural look and, most importantly, it feels durable and doesn't shed. I highly recommend it for anyone from beginners to pros!

Streak free application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this brush to apply skin tints. I tried this with a tinted sunscreen as well but I found that it didn't work as well with a thicker textured product. The bristles are very soft and make for a streak free application of skin tints.

Beautiful blending
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brush is great if you're seeking a more natural coverage, like its name "skin tint" lends to. The blending is great and leaves a skin-like finish, thanks to its tiered bristles. Easy to use - the size helps with quick, flawless application. I also don't see that the brush is absorbing too much of the product, so your products will go a long ways!

Good for beginners!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this brush did a really nice job of distributing and blending my BB cream. I don't feel that it absorbed too much product, and it left me with a smooth finish. I do wish the bristles were clustered more tightly as I felt I got a bit of a "sweeping" pattern at first, but I was able to blend out any lines as I kept going. The handle is pretty thick and easy to grip which is nice, and it's a very pretty design.

Good bang for your buck, but not the best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brush is okay but for the price I guess I will say that it is a decent bang for your buck. The bristles aren't as tight as I would like them to be for a foundation brush. I also like when brushes can be used for multiple products but this one doesn't seem to blend in cream formulas that well. It's better for liquid or as it's meant for, skin tints. I think this is probably the only use for it because of how the bristles are spaced. I did manage to use it to blend in my blush but it was very difficult. A major pro is that it doesn't shed or leave any streaks when blending. I do enjoy how thick the handle feels, it's a bit heavier which is nice in a brush. Overall, very good for a low budget makeup brush.
