I used to use makeup sponges to apply foundation but after arecent trip to Sephora I was sold on using brushes instead of sponges...not only is it better for the environment but it applies foundation better and less product is wasted since it is not being absorbed into the sponge.

Sephora's Professional Platinum Foundation Brush #47 applies and blends foundation properly on your skin and ensures that your complexion is evenly and flawlessly covered. Because the brush fibres are synthetic they will not absorb oils or product.

When I bought this brush at Sephora there was the choice between this brush and the regular series Sephora brushes with the black handles. After feeling both brissles I chose the higher quality brush. I justified that it was better to spend money on the better product especially since it is being used on your face!

Anyway, I highly recommend using brushes rather than sponges when applying liquid foundation. I will never go back! I also highly recommend this brush! :o)
