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.

BEST ANSWER: Hi Millie, thank you for your question. We recommend using any gentle cleanser. Gently massage your fingers throughout the brissels and the makeup will melt off nicely.

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 the Bristles fall off? I've had this problem with other bru

alexandra c on May 13, 2020

BEST ANSWER: I’ve had this brush for almost a year now and 99% of the bristles are still intact. It’s just as full as the first day I started using it. Even when I clean it, I’ve never had bristles fall out. I’ve bought many brushes throughout the years from other brands and this one by far is my favorite.

is it better than the beauty blender?

Vanz44 on Apr 23, 2020

BEST ANSWER: They really do completely different things. I prefer using this brush to apply my Amazonian Clay foundation, and I prefer using a beauty blender (RT tbh) for applying concealer on top. This brush is an investment but it is very well made and has held up through countless washes now. Highly recommend it.
