Easy to blend but hard to clean
This is a super soft and easy blending brush. But it's hard to clean the fibers in the middle, I don't know why. I have to use water to rinse it everyday instead of only using the brush cleanser and paper towel.

Brush Heaven!
I looove this brush dearly as I have it drying right now:) It works so well I used it on my mom and she was shocked at how good her foundation looked and how it literally blurred her wrinkles she was really happy now on to me cause it's my brush. I love it my sister said to me today how great my skin looked it made me so happy.
If happiness was a brush it would be this one! I adore how fast and easy I can use this from BB Cream to foundation it's perfect! I do want to try it with UD's Naked as well. I put some foundation on the top of my hand and I pat and swirl and it's amazing at how well it makes my skin look. My skin looks like well perfect skin. And being someone who had acne when I was younger and still was fighting it till recently it makes me feel good and that is what makes this brush priceless. Good Karma indeed Urban!

The must-have brush for the busy women of the world!
I purchased this brush a couple months ago at a sample sale and have used it every time I've done my make-up since! The bristles are super soft and the handle has such a nice heavy weight to it. The price of this brush is incredible for how well it performs. I've used less product with this brush as well because of the airy material used in the bristles. Your foundation doesn't get absorbed at all and it flawlessly covers your skin leaving you with that beautiful air brushed look!

An essential to my makeup kit!
I was a little worried about trying this at first since I bought it right when it came out, but this brush is awesome. I used to use a sponge to apply my BB cream, and then got fed up with it and just used my hands. This brush is what I was missing. It does not soak up all the makeup like a sponge does, and it applies makeup evenly. If you have never used a brush like this before it takes a minute to figure out how to get the motion just right. Overall this is a great investment.

Perfect match with Naked Skin!!
I love the brush! I would say it is my favorite out of all the foundation brushes I have tried! It applies liquid foundation perfect and flawlessly across skin, and reaches every crevice! This is obviously perfectly matched for the Naked Skin, which I love (took me like 3-5 different foundations until I found Naked Skin, and I am never going back!)! This brush is amazing, works great, and perfect with Naked Skin!! Also, I bet it would work great with any other liquid foundation!
March 4, 2013
Amazing!
This brush, first of all, feels amazing on my skin. It distributes the Naked Skin Foundation easily and evenly, leaving no streaks or cakey spots.
August 4, 2012
You need this!
I usually never get new brushes unless I absolutely have to. I had my makeup done at Ulta and the lady used this brush along with the naked foundation. It doesn't streak. It blends the foundation in so well with ease. I did not expect to buy a brush that day but I was amazed; was too good to pass up. I also love that it's vegan! :) It is heavier than expected but I like that because I feel like for the amount paid I should have a hefty brush. Packaging is also cute.

Best brush I have ever used
This is the best and first brush I have ever bought. Although the Naked foundation did not work wonders for me, I found this brush applies other foundations beautifully. It is so soft and gives a perfect airbrush effect. I use it every single day to apply not only my foundation, but also my setting powder. It really makes me want to try more UD brushes. I was happy to learn that these are also cruelty-free. I even love using the box it came in as its stand. (:
March 11, 2013
Worth the price
I always used sponges to apply my foundation; for a clean freak, I was going through a lot of sponges and they were doing a so-so job. When this brush was released in store, I immediately fell in love and snapped one up. The brush head is dense, compact, soft, and doesn't shed. I use liquid foundation and this brush buffs it out beautifully, distributing it evenly and without brush lines. The only downside is that it takes forever to dry after washing.

Favorite foundation brush
I got this when it first came out with the naked skin foundation, and didn't use it much because I preferred my blending sponge for a more natural look. However I recently started using it again and love it. I think I was trying to stipple too much and was using too much product, now I blend blend blend and then use it to stipple just a bit of concealer on top and it's perfect and not heavy. I use it with any foundation, BB cream, whatever that I have.
March 11, 2013
NO LINES!
I have always stayed away from foundation brushes because I did not want a streaky face! Chalk it up to a bad experience with a cheap buffing brush. I finally decided to try this one out after reading all the good reviews and I am so glad I did! After I ran out of the Naked foundation, I tried the Amazonian Clay from Tarte and the MUFE HD ones and this brush works with them all!!!! I am so glad I bought this! No shedding either! Just perfect!

Love at first stroke
I've had 2 foundation brushes in my make-up "career" by other high quality department store brands. For previously applying my foundation by finger and sponges, I thought both were incredible... UNTIL I FOUND THIS ONE. I have to admit I was a skeptic because I was so amazed by the others & didn't see how it could compare. I was excited to see UD came out with a foundation. I'd been waiting for this for years. And when it came recommended with this brush, I didn't dare try anything else with it. It is by far THE BEST foundation brush to have! The application is so smooth and even. Previous brushes would leave streaks no matter how many times I went over my skin or what motion, that I would still have to use a sponge or fingers to even it out. I also love the foundation so much that I will be leaving a review there, too. Can't have one without the other ;)
March 7, 2013
Flawless finish!
I am in love with this brush. I have a ton of "high end" foundation brushes that don't come close to being as good as this one. The size is perfect and gets into the corners and under eyes very well. It blends out perfectly with out leaving streaks . Perfect paired with Naked Skin . I love the two together, so much that I bought both for my mother . I even reccomend these to everyone who compliments me or asks what I use.
February 10, 2013
Never underestimate the power of a beauty brush. This one is awesome!
I usually use a make-up sponge or my fingers to apply foundation but after using this brush; I am sold! I will never use my fingers or a sponge again. It blends flawlessly leaving my skin looking very smooth and my complexion clear. The quality of the brush is great! No stray bristles fell out of it either. It's a good sturdy brush and I recommend trying it. You will not regret it. I wish I had bought it sooner.
August 24, 2012
Awesome for BB Cream
I don't wear foundation, usually I just wear powder. But then I came across BB cream and needed a brush to apply it with because I hated the thought of using my fingers. I asked for recommendations from several of my fellow makeup addicts and most of them brought me here to this UD Good Karma brush. And I am so glad that they did! I does wonders with my cream and powder I will never use anything else!!
March 6, 2013
Best foundation brush EVER!!
I bought this brush when I first tried Urban Decay Naked foundation (a must try!!) and fell in love INSTANTLY! It helps to distribute foundation evenly and also has the ability to acheive that flawless, airbrush look all women are going for! I never thought I could fall in love with a foundation brush but I definitely did!! It's so easy to use and clean! It makes your skin look absolutely beautiful!!
March 5, 2013
my favorite foundation brush :))
I am IN LOVE with this brush. I know I probably bought into the marketing gimmick when I bought this to use with my UD Naked Skin foundation (like is recommended) but it has totally been worth it! It's SO soft, washes remarkably well (never sheds or dries misshapen), and truly does help to blur out imperfections when applying liquid foundation or balms. I usually mist it ever so slightly with a spray bottle (so it's barely damp... I may be crazy, but I think it helps my foundation apply even more smoothly) and use a gentle pump of Naked and then apply it using small, circular motions. The finished result is always very smooth and soft looking.
I have only used this with my Naked foundation but think it would probably work pretty well with any other liquid foundation or balm as long as it's not too thick.
I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a quality foundation brush!
March 11, 2013
Great foundation brush!
This brush works wonders with my Naked Skin Foundation and other ones as well. I haven't used it with a BB cream before since I usually use my hands, but this brush really does buff and blend out foundation really well. I always get a flawless application after using it with all my foundations and I like that it's synthetic and cruelty free. It's also quite easy to clean.
Overall great product!
March 6, 2013
YAYAY!
Ive always been a fan of MAC and URBAN's brushes. URBAN's are bit softer, especially their angled eyeliner brush, it stays soft but without losing its rigid angle-ness. This brush delivers the same quality, it is soft on the skin, picks up eye shadow great, a bit big for blending bur definitely does the job. It doesnt irritate my eyes which is a total plus :)! (contacts and allergies)
March 5, 2013
Great Brush
This brush is the best thing I have found for applying foundation. It leaves my foundation very smooth and gets the right amount of product on my face. It is also very soft and because it is synthetic doesn't irritate my skin in any way. It is a little hard to keep really, really clean and takes a while to dry because it is so dense, but it is worth the effort for the results.
March 16, 2013
Very good Karma
When I first saw this brush I fell in love. The brush is really soft but firm. I was a little worried about the pricing so I didn't buy it the first time. Once I got paid, i went to do my usual splurge at Ulta, and i saw the brush again. The more I tested the brush, the more convinced I was to have it. and i'm so glad i did! It makes belnding my liquid foundation super easy.
March 5, 2013
Love it!
Not too long ago I got the Naked Foundation, but I couldn't bring myself to splurge on this brush. So I bought a cheap brush. I was impressed with how little foundation I had to use. But the brush wasn't holding up well. So I finally decided to spring for this brush, and boy am I glad that I did! I Love it! I was already impressed with how little foundation I used with Naked. With this brush I literally use a quarter of the amount of foundation I used with my old brush. Which is just amazing. It brushes the foundation on nice and even and very easily. Takes me a few seconds and no mess. And it doesn't eat my foundation like my last brush apparently did. I just love the feel of it too. You can tell it is high quality. Now I really want to get the other Good Karma brushes to replace my old cheap brushes. I just wish there was maybe a starter set with this, the blush brush, and an eye shadow brush to get me started!
April 20, 2013
I adore this brush, but nitpicking ahead!
I had only ever used flat foundation brushes and sponges for foundation before. But when I saw the review of this brush on Phyrra's blog, I knew I had to have it! Besides, if I was going to give the Naked Skin foundation a fair shot, I thought I should get the brush designed to apply it.
This brush blends like a dream! It helps give MUCH better coverage and far less streaks than the flat brushes. The only time I've actually had this brush streak on me is when I've over-loaded the brush, and even then the streaks are very easily blended out. For fullest coverage, the stippling method really is key!
The only other foundation I've used this brush with is a drugstore brand's cream foundation, and it works really well with that too. In fact, I'd say if you are hating the brush that comes with the Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder, try this one if you're a brush-only kinda person.
Two minor quibbles:
Quibble one: The brushes can be a -teensy- (and I really do mean a teensy) bit prickly. But it is NOTHING in comparison to that wretched, scratchy goat hair from mineral kits. I guess it depends on how sensitive my skin is that day. I've since started to lightly mist the brush with a bit of water before dabbing it into foundation, and that seems to have eased the sensitivity issues.
Quibble two: The lettering on the handle is flaking off. Pretty soon my brush is going to say " R N DECAY" (kinda ironic, actually), and that makes me sad. Because a brush that costs this much shouldn't have printing issues like this, especially considering how delicate I am with it. It never bumps against other brushes (it's stored separately) or gets otherwise jostled about (stays at home), I hardly ever use hand moisturizer (so nothing on my hands should be breaking it down), and I hardly ever have to wash the handle because product never comes in contact with it.
I also think it's worth mentioning the drying time. This brush seems to take 15+ hours to dry fully. So if I wash it at night, it WILL be in some stage of the drying process in the morning. For me, it's not that big of a deal... I'll just use it anyway. That's how I figured out that a damp brush is gentler on my skin. It still spreads/buffs/stipples just as well for me; the foundation is just a bit sheerer, so it takes a little longer. I'm okay with that. But I know many of you aren't, so I thought it best to bring it up.
So in spite of those issues, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this brush (as long as drying time isn't an issue for you). I was already planning on buying one as a gift for a friend. :3

In Love
This brush is AMAZIMG!!!! I like to use this brush for my finishing powders..to really buff in a nice matte finish. I also have used it for blushes and foundations. I have had no issues with it shedding and it is SO soft. I get compliments from clients on it all the time. They always ask where they can get it. I love its design too...so pretty!!!!!
March 5, 2013
Actually does what it says on the tin!
Too often these days, expensive make up brushes are sold on promises that don't quite hit the mark and whilst they may still be nice, and still usable, often they aren't the little miracles they could be. As a MUA, good brushes are a must, you can't work with bad tools. I thought I would give this brush a go and see if it really did 'blur' imperfections. I have large-ish open pores around my nose/cheek area and no matter what I do, I always get a little pool of foundation in there and end up having to work with my fingers to try and blend them out. Well this brush just comes along and does it for me! I used to apply the foundation, then wiped off and buffed it all in. No pore pools! Brilliant! Must warn you though, on the first 2 or 3 goes you shed a few hairs from the brush, but by the 4th or 5th use it doesn't seem to lose any more, and as most brushes do shed on the first few uses this is by no means a downside, but I thought I'd share just for info.

YES! The vegan version of the MAC foundation brush
I used to use a flat foundation brush but it made paint brush like strokes, the girl at MAC told me that I should use a brush more like the shape of this brush...but theirs had goat hair in it. I couldn't find another brush like this anywhere...until UD came out with this brush! I was so happy and got it right away! It is great!
March 5, 2013
It's a MUST HAVE !!!
This is the best makeup Brush that you will ever find ! It's so easy and fast to use along with providing excellent coverage without any heavy or cakiness feeling ! Easy to clean and store as well ! I will never use another sponge or brush ! This provides a matte finish without u feeling like u are clogging up your pores !!!!
March 11, 2013
I'm in love with it!
I bought this brush after reading all the reviews. And now, I am a fan. My skin is sensitive and easily gets reddish when a tough foundation brush is used, so I am very careful in selecting which brush to use. It's so soft and buffs my Naked Skin Foundation evenly. I have never been this happy, it is a wonder! Thank you UD!
March 6, 2013
Worth the hunt!
It took me a long time to find this brush (as it is sold out often) but it was worth the wait. It's super dense and blends my foundation really well. With a lot of other brushes I find myself having to use my hands after the brush to even things out but this brush does that nicely on its own. I highly recommend this brush.
March 5, 2013
Doesn't provide enough coverage.
I've noticed that I have to use more product when I use this brush. I go through foundation so much faster with this brush. But overall, it does give an airbrushed look. If you have really good skin, then I'd recommend this, but if you have imperfections or even slight acne breakouts, then this brush won't cover much.

So in spite of those issues, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this brush (as long as drying time isn't an issue for you). I was already planning on buying one as a gift for a friend. :3

In Love
This brush is AMAZIMG!!!! I like to use this brush for my finishing powders..to really buff in a nice matte finish. I also have used it for blushes and foundations. I have had no issues with it shedding and it is SO soft. I get compliments from clients on it all the time. They always ask where they can get it. I love its design too...so pretty!!!!!

Actually does what it says on the tin!
Too often these days, expensive make up brushes are sold on promises that don't quite hit the mark and whilst they may still be nice, and still usable, often they aren't the little miracles they could be. As a MUA, good brushes are a must, you can't work with bad tools. I thought I would give this brush a go and see if it really did 'blur' imperfections. I have large-ish open pores around my nose/cheek area and no matter what I do, I always get a little pool of foundation in there and end up having to work with my fingers to try and blend them out. Well this brush just comes along and does it for me! I used to apply the foundation, then wiped off and buffed it all in. No pore pools! Brilliant! Must warn you though, on the first 2 or 3 goes you shed a few hairs from the brush, but by the 4th or 5th use it doesn't seem to lose any more, and as most brushes do shed on the first few uses this is by no means a downside, but I thought I'd share just for info.

YES! The vegan version of the MAC foundation brush
I used to use a flat foundation brush but it made paint brush like strokes, the girl at MAC told me that I should use a brush more like the shape of this brush...but theirs had goat hair in it. I couldn't find another brush like this anywhere...until UD came out with this brush! I was so happy and got it right away! It is great!

I'm in love with it!
I bought this brush after reading all the reviews. And now, I am a fan. My skin is sensitive and easily gets reddish when a tough foundation brush is used, so I am very careful in selecting which brush to use. It's so soft and buffs my Naked Skin Foundation evenly. I have never been this happy, it is a wonder! Thank you UD!

Worth the hunt!
It took me a long time to find this brush (as it is sold out often) but it was worth the wait. It's super dense and blends my foundation really well. With a lot of other brushes I find myself having to use my hands after the brush to even things out but this brush does that nicely on its own. I highly recommend this brush.

Doesn't provide enough coverage.
I've noticed that I have to use more product when I use this brush. I go through foundation so much faster with this brush. But overall, it does give an airbrushed look. If you have really good skin, then I'd recommend this, but if you have imperfections or even slight acne breakouts, then this brush won't cover much.
