The pointed foundation brush from aDesign is the first pointed brush I've tried. I really love the brushes from this brand because the handles are not wooden and don't peel. The hairs also never fall out. You can use this brush to apply foundation all over and it's especially great for getting into all the small places like under the eye and around the nose. I bought this at the Canadian Makeup Show in Toronto at cost for $19 - it's normally $36 USD which is pretty standard compared to MAC. It's definitely worth the price!
