What We Love: The brush’s brilliance extends beyond its appealing rose gold colorway — the shape and size of its head worked miracles to stipple over large pores without emphasizing their texture. Quick Make-up: The brush surface is 63mm in diameter, and the large brush surface can make up faster, saving time and effort.

And though it was small, the brush was quite mighty — we did everything but stomp on it with steel-toed boots, and still it remained intact. All in all, if the branded-label hadn't worn off the brush so easily the brush would be flawless, but considering this didn’t impact its effectiveness we’ll let it slide.

Additionally, the spaced-apart bristles blended the liquid foundation in sheer layers, so while coverage was initially light, we were able to quickly build up to a full-coverage look thanks to the round head shape which was optimal for picking up the product and distributing it in smooth, even coats. However, we’re very happy to share that we never had a bad foundation day using the Laura Mercier Foundation Brush. With a 60mm diameter brush face, the large brush face allows for quick making and saves time and effort.Additionally, the handle is also dual-ended with a thoughtful ergonomic design so we could dexterously flip from sweeping foundation across our forehead and cheeks with the large brush end to honing in with the small-bristled end to reach tight spaces around our nose. Use our High Density Foundation Brush with liquid or powder foundation for streak-free coverage that glides over imperfections (not that you have any). We become gleeful whenever we spy Saie’s trademark lavender-hued logo and lithe typeface, and once again the editor-loved and Real Housewife-approved brand didn’t leave us wanting.
