MAKE UP FOR EVER has increasingly become one of my favourite
brands when it comes to makeup that lasts and looks flawless. My favourite everyday
products have been their HD Invisible Cover Foundation, HD Microfinish Powder (see
review here) and their holiday holodiam limited edition eyeshadow. While I have
loved the products that MAKE UP FOR EVER has brought to the table, I have
always used my own set of brushes in applying the foundation, primer and other
products.
However, MAKE UP FOR EVER recently launched their “mere” 76 luxury
brush collection (some products are now available at Sephora). This extensive
set ranges from everyday ‘must-haves’ to highly customized tools to create the
most intricate artistic effects.
The Artisan Brush Collection 2013 is classified by the
following:
100s = complexion
200s = eyes
300s = lips
400s = artistic specially designed for professionals.

I was given the opportunity to try out their large
foundation brush (100s collection). I usually start of my makeup routine by applying moisturizer
and then squeezing foundation and primer on the back of my hand, and applying with
a brush (either a kabuki brush or a foundation brush).
One of the things I like about the foundation brush is that
it is large, with soft but stiff bristles, making foundation application quick
and easy. The collection of seventy six brushes took Creator
& Artistic Director Dany Sanz and her team over five years to create. Dany wanted a variety of synthetic fibers
that mimicked the silky softness of natural hair. These brushes feel amazing!
A con however is that because it is a bit larger, it may be
difficult to travel with, unless you’re someone who doesn’t mind taking large brushes
with you. While I really do enjoy the 108 Large Foundation brush, I can't say its that different from some of the other brushes I have, but it is still a wonderful piece, especially if your are looking for a new brush to add to your collection.
