Review of my foundation brushes - LancrOne, Revlon, Hakuro

Today I would like to review for you all the foundation brushes I own. I know what you might think "How many foundation brushes does a normal person need?" But I'm not normal - I'm a brush freak. Ok, so let's begin...

LancrOne
The set by LancrOne seems to be Sigma's synthetic kabuki collection duplicate. However, I cannot make a direct comparison as I don't have any of the Sigma ones. They are all synthetic, the bristles are soft and dense. Therefore they are ideal for cream products application.

F68, F54, F60, F58

F68 - Tapered kabuki - thanks to its shape it can can perfectly blend the product in those parts of the face which are rather hard to reach with flat brushes - the eye or around the nose area. It doesn't look particularly attractive in the photos because it's wet but I can assure you that working with it is nothing but pleasure. 

 F68

F54 - Round top kabuki - its bristles are shorter and slightly more dense than in F68. It works better with thicker foundations and you can get more coverage. I also love using it for cream blushes.

 F54

F60 - Flat top kabuki - it is the least dense brush of the set and the bristles are slightly longer than in F54. It is by far my favorite as far as foundation application goes as the finish it gives is natural and with circular motions you can perfectly work the product into the skin.

 F60

F58 - Angled top kabuki - the shape of the bristles makes you use different type of motion when using it - you do not swirl the brush (as you would the round ones) but rather stipple the product onto your skin which gives a different finish and a little bit more coverage. It's great for contouring with cream products as well.

Hakuro
Hakuro is a Polish brand which makes rather cheap but good-quality brushes. The one I'm presenting can be used for many purposes. It's synthetic, dense and soft, however not as soft as LancrOne. It is also the biggest of the round brushes I own. Because of its size, it makes the application really fast and gives natural, kind of airbrushed finish. It is also the best brush I have ever used for powder foundations. It could also be used for blushes or bronzers but with a very light hand as because of its density you may apply too much product.

 H54

Revlon
The last of the brushes I want to write about is by Revlon. I used to use it for foundation but when I came across the brushes discussed above, I no longer use it for this purpose. It is soft but not dense enough and makes the application streaky. Now I prefer it for make-up bases or moisturizers. However, I will definitely purchase a  different "traditional" foundation brushes because they seem to be the best when you have dry patches on your face as they do not cause micro-exfoliation.

Summing up, you can definitely find a purpose for each of these brushes, but there is no need to buy them all. Each of them can be used in a variety of ways, depending what kind of products and finishes you like. When I say I use a particular brush for something, it doesn't mean you cannot use it for something else. This is just my personal opinion. If you want natural look an use mainly liquid foundations I would recommend one of the brushes by LancrOne. But if you prefer powders, buy something like Hakuro.

And what are your favourites as far as foundation application goes?

Have a nice day!!!
