MERIT Brush No. 1 Tapered Blending Brush is a densely packed brush with delightfully soft synthetic cruelty-free bristles that feel heavenly against the skin. The bristles are soft, but not so soft as to lack efficacy. It is perfect for applying and blending foundations, concealers, and any powder, liquid and cream products that you want to blend and buff for a seamless finish. The handle is lightweight, and yet well-balanced, and appears to be made of plastic. It is also quite compact, and it measures less than 4 1/2" long– therefore, it is small enough for traveling or keeping in your makeup bag for periodic touchups.
According to MERIT,
A brush that blends your complexion products so well, you won't be able to tell where your skin and your makeup meet. Meet the next number-one tool in your kit. This high-performance foundation brush seamlessly blends The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick (sold separately) into the skin, softly blurring imperfections for an almost-airbrushed, natural-looking finish. The densely packed, synthetic bristles work with any complexion formula to create a smooth, glowing look.
Features:
- Densely packed bristles make blending easy
- Extra soft, vegan bristles are gentle on reactive skin
- This brush is vegan, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.

Just looking at this brush, you can see how soft it is!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Allison!
DeleteHow do you keep this so white? My brushes always have a tinge after using them. Love the look of this.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a number of white bristle brushes (Westman Atelier, Tom Ford Hakuhodo and this MERIT brush), and I use all of them on a daily basis– which means that I tend to wash them every 7-10 days. I use a clear or white soap (liquid or bar) that won't stain the bristles and I wash and rinse thoroughly, and none of my brushes (synthetic or natural hair) have ever become stained.
DeleteHi, Lola - This is obviously a beautiful, luxurious brush. And the kabuki style makes it easy to handle. I am very tempted even though I already have an IT foundation brush and a couple of concealer brushes. I was using a Dove soap bar to clean my brushes, which did the job. But I've found that my clear hand soap works even better! Thanks for this interesting and informative post. - Angie, www.yourtrueselfblog.com

I use white or clear bar or liquid soaps when I wash all of my brushes, but definitely make sure to with my white bristle brushes (synthetic and natural bristles) so that I don't stain them!
