A long-time reader sent me an email asking if I could review the bareMinerals Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush for her because she wasn't sure if it was the right brush for her, and wanted my advice. She neither uses the bareMinerals Loose Powder Foundations, for which this brush was specifically made, nor does she use any other powder foundations. Instead, she uses a liquid foundation and then often uses a light dust of a setting powder afterward. Giuliana stated that while she certainly didn't need this brush, she was intrigued by, and attracted to, its unusual design. 

Given that I have a rather fetishistic desire to collect unusual brushes, I was similarly intrigued by this brush. I should also preface this review by stating that I don't ever use powder foundations, of any sort, but instead prefer liquid and cream variants. I occasionally use a setting powder very sparingly, but more often than not I do not. That said, I really like this brush a lot, and do, in fact, use it.

bareMinerals Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush is a cruelty-free brush made from synthetic bristles, and it has an unusual convex domed well in the center that is designed to hold their loose mineral foundations. The bristles are very soft and comfortable against the skin, and they do an exemplary job in their ability to apply and blend powder formulas. I have found that it is excellent for applying and blending all powder formulas, and find great utility in using it to blend out blush, highlighters and any other powder products when I seek a seamless finish.

Most people who use the bareMinerals Loose Powder Foundations seem very happy with this brush, but I think that there are other people, like me, who don't use powder foundations who would still enjoy using this brush. Do you need it? Of course not, but that doesn't mean that you won't enjoy using it.

The brush measure 3 1/2" from base to tip, and the densely packs head of bristles measures a little over 1".
