The 'Best Brush For' is the start of a new series of posts about my favourite brushes for different areas of makeup application. I'm starting with the
Zoeva 102 Silk Finish Brush which applies foundation flawlessly. I wrote about it back in May (
here) shortly after I had first bought it and six months later I'm still loving it more than ever.
Round-top brushes seem to have become the top choice for foundation application over the traditional flat brush as they buff the product in much more seamlessly with no trace of brush strokes. The bristles on the 102 brush are very densely packed so that it evenly transfers all of the foundation onto the skin. I've found that it works best by applying the desired amount of foundation to the brush and then patting it into the skin with dabbing motions. It presses the foundation in place creating a second skin with an airbrush finish which is perfect if you're wanting full coverage!
If you've used Zoeva brushes before you'll know that the quality is fantastic and really affordable too, so this brush definitely follows suit with it's sleek design, super soft bristles and priced at only £11.50. In fairness I haven't tried any similar brushes from the higher end brands such as MAC or Bobbi Brown so I'm unable to compare on quality however this brush ticks all the boxes for my foundation application requirements and is much purse friendlier too.
What's you're favourite brush for full coverage foundation?

I usually stay away from brushes because they always tend to leave streaks on my face. This one sounds perfect though! I haven't seen this brand around before, I wonder if its available in Canada?

This ones great, it doesn't leave any streaks at all especially if you stipple it on! I'm not sure if they have it in Canada but definitely wr=worth looking out for it!
DeleteI've heard so many good things about this brush and have held off buying it but you may have just convinced me!! Gorgeous photos as well. xx
ReplyDeleteOo yes definitely give it a go, it'll be so worth it! Thank you so much Taylor!
DeleteI haven't tried any brush from Zoeva however I really want to get my hands on them. I like using stipling brush! It gives such a flawless finish.

DeleteThat brush looks incredible! I'm dying to try the Zoeva brushes, but I already have so many brushes I can't seem to justify buying them!

It's so good! They're an amazing brand for makeup brushes so I definitely recommend them! Maybe start with buying individual brushes rather than a whole set?
DeleteAt the minute I'm in love with using my beauty blender for foundation, but I am getting this brush in the face set for Christmas so i'll definitley be giving it a try and switching things up!

Lots of people seem to favour the beauty blender for full coverage but this is definitely my go-to brush! I find it much easier to use. You'll have to let me know what you think!
DeleteI use this brush for applying foundation too! It's soo good and as you said the finish is sooo lovely :)

The finish is what I love the most about it!
DeleteLove the look of this brush, the bristles look so dense and soft! I usually reach for my beauty blender when going for full coverage.

DeleteI need this brush! My fav full face foundation is the 24 hour matte loreal one!
ReplyDeleteBeauty Blender- worth the hype?
I've not tried that foundation, I'll have to try the two together!
DeleteYes to this post! I own more expensive brushes but I still always reach for this for medium and full coverage bases (including all the ones you have there!) xx
ReplyDeleteJasmine Talks Beauty
This works so well that I find I don't need to spend anymore on the more expensive brushes, although I'm sure they're lovely!
DeleteThis Zoeva brush is one of my all time favourite brushes. It is so compact and blends and buffs foundation so well. Xx

DeleteI've heard so many good things about the Morphe M439 brush that you can get off Cult Beauty, I'm so desperate to try that one!
ReplyDeleteLauren Ashleigh xx
I've heard a lot about the Morphe brush too. It does look very similar to the Zoeva brush. I'd love to compare the two!
