EcoTools Classic Foundation Brush

Comment

I am reviewing the ECOTOOLS, Bamboo Foundation Brush. The products made by ECOTOOLS are carefully constructed using soft "cruelty free" bristles, recycled aluminum, and bamboo. This company is made up of environmentalists. They truly care about our planet, Earth and want to do their part in improving and protecting it. I find that admirable in this day and time. I cannot fail to mention that they also use "cruelty free" materials as well. In ECOTOOLS "cruelty free" products. I feel the companys commitment to end animal suffering is at the Forefront. I really appreciate any company, especially cosmetics, that take this kind of stand. Besides make-up brushes, this company also produces hairbrushes, eye lashes, and bath products. I will be trying some of these in the future. This ECOTOOLS, Bamboo Foundation brush, is used to apply make-up evenly and smoothly. It works well to conceal under eye circles and to even out the coloring under the eye. This brush works great with liquid or cream foundation. It is also tapered for those small tight areas like around the nose. The brush itself is made from a synthetic material, that is very soft and attractive looking. The handle is made from bamboo and looks expensive. The prices however, are extremely lower than most of the leading brands. I reviewed a Multi-Task brush and Four Piece Tool Set prior to this review. I do not know why but I completely " FORGOT " to mention this important " FACT "about the ECOTOOLS brushes. All the brushes can be WASHED and CLEANED. All that is required is rinsing thoroughly with warm water then applying a small amount of MILD soap. I use baby shampoo myself. Rub the brush between your fingers to remove the make-up and the rinse well. Be careful NOT to wet the metal ring that holds the bristles and the bamboo handle, as well. Rinse until all the soap is out of the brush. Take a soft cloth to get the excess water out and then let it air dry. This should give your brush an extended life. With one of the brushes I previously reviewed ECOTOOLS, provided a fabulous roll up storage pouch. It has 12 spaces of various sizes for brush placements. The pouch is an attractive earthy brown color with a shiny copper trim that appears to have leaves on it. Inside is a coordinating neutral tan color lining. The spaces for the brushes have various adjectives like; flawless, glow, smooth, buff, and luminous. All of these words can be associated with beauty. In this case, your face and how it looks after you have applied your make-up with an ECOTOOL brush (s). You should look for this pouch as a perk that comes with a brush. I recommend that you try this Bamboo Foundation brush. Youll probably go back to the store buy some of the other brushes. See more

I used to believe buying all these different brushes was a waste of money. I recently started wearing makeup again and this was among a few brushes I did purchase. I am really liking using this brush. It just brushes on my tinted moisturizer so well. Yes, I could use my fingers, but why? No need to worry about getting makeup on other items, clothing, cloths, towels etc and no need to wash my hands again after applying my foundation/tinted moisturizer. Really like it for feathering makeup down my neck area. Its cool that the bristles dont get messed up/clogged with makeup. I dont know why or how, just know that they dont. I will wash it about once a week, because even though I cant see it, there has to be traces. See more

I use this to apply my Cover Girl Outlast makeup--works perfectly. I clean it with mineral oil and cotton circles, then when no traces of makeup show up on the cotton circles I use liquid soap to get rid of the oil on the brush. Air dry overnight and I can use it again in the morning. I clean the brush once a week.

This is very soft flat foundation brush which is cruelty free. The handle is bamboo & very well made. This comes with re-usable pouch which is good to travel. I love this brush being soft & flat but personally I prefer a dense & round brush for applying foundation to my face these days. This works very well but I find it bit small for my face just because I like using the dense brush which makes things faster for me. I like this more to use for concealing under eye & anywhere over face. It works perfectly for overall foundation too. I love it being so soft & firm bristles. I would recommend this to whoever prefers flat small foundation brush to use everyday. See more

I have a whole collection of the EcoTools brushes. They are really high quality, never had a problem with any bristles coming out and they just "feel" expensive. I also love the fact that you the package it comes in doubles as a permanent "case" for the brush. This particular brush I use for blending my entire face. This is the last brush I use to make sure everything is blended and that I dont have makeup lines on my jaw line, and my blush is blended in well. This brush is such a nice addition to my EcoTools collection!
