Powder II Brush

This tapered head is my new favorite for setting powder — it picks up just the right amount so I never look cakey. The bristles are soft but dense enough to buff everything in evenly in a few swipes.

The bristles are dense enough that I don't have to dip back into the compact twice, and the tapered tip gets right under my cheekbones without any patchiness. It's the softest brush I've used for powder, period.

I was a little worried the tapered head would be too flimsy, but it's actually perfect for dusting powder exactly where I need it. The density gives an even layer without dumping product everywhere, and cleanup is a breeze.
