I've always switched between different types of puffs for my base makeup, but after watching a YouTube video about applying makeup with a brush, I decided to give it a try and bought this. They say brushes can be trickier for beginners, and sure enough, I kept pressing too hard with my hand. It also left brush marks, so I always finish with a puff. Still, using the brush makes it easier to spread with a small amount and layering feels less heavy on the skin, which I liked. Since I'm not skilled yet, I can't say I'm using the foundation brush to its full potential, but I think I'll get better with more practice. I do wish it was a little bigger in size.
