bareMinerals Perfecting Face Brush

I love BMs, and I love the LL matte themselves - I have a few from the original range. The one gripe I have is the lip shades never being quite the same irl, so I avoid ordering them online. Needs must at the moment, as I don't live local to a stockist. I bought the the LL matte in Luxe, but irl the colour through the bottle looks alot darker and warmer than the shade in the photo, so am in the process of returning. I wish there was a way around this - colour samples maybe?

I have had this brush a few months now. I was originally very pleased with the brushes performance. But It has become impossible to clean and the bristles are falling out. I won't buy a replacement in case the same problems occur, especially as it was expensive. The problems need to be sorted ASAP.

I used this for the first time alongside a high end foundation on my sister's skin which is quite textured and has large pores. The application was quick and the reservoir definitely helps to spread the product evenly. My sister's skin looked flawless!

Being as pale as I am not many colours suit my white skin and golden hair but flawless is perfect! A fantastic Autumn colour that lifts my complexion.

Do not waste your money on this brush. Contrary to their video it is a nightmare to get clean, therefore keep hygienic. Because of the nature of the brush (it's bristles are short and stubby) and the method of application (three drops on the centre well of the brush & then apply) you are pushing the foundation into the brush therefore the product sits to the base of the bristles and is very very difficult to get out. I use a make-up brush cleaning system that splays bristles so the hard to reach areas are easily cleaned - not with this monster of a brush. It's stubby and impossible to get clean. As far as applying the product it doesn't really 'paint' the product on your skin but rather seems to push it onto the skin so any pores tend to have the appearance of foundation sitting in them rather than the foundation sitting on the skin. Odd finish & wish I'd never invested in the brush or the foundation it's designed to be used with.
