How to use
- Dot one pump of foundation over the face, or onto the back of your hand.
- Buff in small circles from the center of the face outward.
- Use the flat top to press, not sweep, over areas that need more coverage.
- Wash it weekly with mild soap, reshape the bristles and dry it flat, never upright.
- A brush dried upright lets water run into the ferrule and loosens the glue.

- Keep caps and compacts closed, and never share lip or eye products
- Replace mascara and liquid liners three months after opening, everything else within twelve months
- Patch test a new complexion or lip product on the inner wrist a day before first use

Questions
Asked about Buff & Blend Foundation Brush
Is it shedding normally?
One or two bristles in the first wash is normal for any new brush. Continued shedding under normal use is a warranty matter.
What does the warranty cover?
Shedding and ferrule failure under normal use, for one year from delivery. Claims are filed on the warranty page with a photo.
Are the bristles vegan?
Yes. They are synthetic taklon, with no animal hair.
Brush or sponge?
The brush gives the most coverage and uses the least product. A damp sponge gives a sheerer, more natural finish. Many people buff with the brush and press with the sponge.
How do I dry it?
Flat, with the head over the edge of a counter. Never standing in a cup.

No streaks at all
Small circles and the foundation disappears into my skin. I use half as much product as with a sponge.

Dense but soft
It does not scratch. It feels like pressing a cushion on my face.

Shed a few on the first wash
Three or four bristles came out the first time I washed it, then nothing since. Four months in, it is holding up.

Dries fast for a dense brush
Flat on a towel overnight and it is ready by morning.

Ferrule loosened
The head started wobbling at about seven months. The warranty replaced it without fuss, but I had been drying it upright, which I now know not to do.

Minimal routine
Works with cream blush too
I use the edge for blush balm. One brush for the whole base.

Nice weight
The handle is balanced. It does not feel cheap.

Better than brushes twice the price
I have a drawer of foundation brushes. This is the one I reach for.
