Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the products featured were provided for review.

For as long as I can remember, I applied liquid foundations with my fingertips. However, since my foray into the world of foundation brushes a couple years ago, I've never once looked back. When it comes to ease of application, efficiency, and finish, a brush is superior by far and this is not even taking into account the fact that you will never have greasy foundation fingers again. I've been pretty content with my EcoTools foundation brush and my oval foundation brush from Avon but recently, I was gifted the Shu Uemura Petal 55 Foundation Brush ($79 CAD) to try. As someone who doesn't like to spend over $20 on a makeup brush, I was initially hesitant. However, after using it for a few months now, I'm pretty darn impressed so I want to share with you my review today......
