WHAT IT IS
A revolutionary foundation brush that makes application like airbrushing without the air™!

WHAT IT DOES

fluffy, dome foundation brush
flawlessly buffs foundation into skin
features unique, luxe bamboo handle
gives foundation an airbrushed effect

How To Use

Directions for use: Dispense a quarter-size amount of foundation to the back of your hand. Pick up a small amount using the buffer airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush and brush onto your skin, starting at the center of your face and blending out. Achieve a flawless, even complexion by soft circular buffing sweeps.

To clean the brush: Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water, avoiding the handle. Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather. Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water and continue rinsing until water runs clear. Gently squeeze excess water out of bristles and place on a level surface to air-dry before next use. Clean brush as often as needed.

So far I love this brush! It’s big and fluffy. Works so well with the Amazonian clay Tarte foundation. The texture of the foundation buffed with brush looks and feels like your wearing no makeup at all! So much faster than using a sponge without sacrificing a finish. Very pleased so far!!

Heavenly Brush - Highly Recommended

This brush is heavenly. I never used foundation before because it was always so cake-y and the application process took a lot of dabbing and I am always on the go. THIS BRUSH IS INCREDIBLE. The ease of using this to apply foundation is life changing. I highly recommend this brush. To everyone. From beginners to professionals. I am obsessed. You will be too.

Tarte Expert Staff on Mar 20, 2020

Probably, although I have not tried it. It is a very soft and loose brush so it might actually work better with powder foundation. I have had a hard time getting it to work well with liquid foundation because it just doesn't move the foundation enough to blend it on my skin. Perhaps the brush would get the foundation to blend if I spent several minutes pushing it repeatedly all over my face, but I don't have time for that in the morning.

Is this easy to clean?

Roxanne M on Apr 20, 2020

BEST ANSWER: It can be hard to clean. I would suggest in addition to using a brush cleaner, that you also use some sort of brush cleaning surface, that will really help you get in there. You might even need to clean it, move on to another brush, and then come back to it and clean it again. There are so many bristles that it can take a few times to spot all of the product you want to clean out

Do you guys think that this buffer absorbs product when applying foundation?

Diana P on Mar 28, 2020

BEST ANSWER: This Buffer brush actually helps prevent losing foundation! We love putting a few dots of Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Matte foundation on the face and then using the Buffer brush to buff and diffuse into the skin for a flawless finish :)

I think it does. I used it only two times, because the application of foundation didn’t go well with this brush. Maybe the reason was what the question mention above or something else. Maybe it will work better with powder products?
