As a Clinique-a-holic, I buy a lot of Clinique products. I bought this brush when I had a life pharmacy voucher to use, as I thought it was an extravagant purchase. I felt very spoilt and couldn't wait to get home to try it.
The brush itself is very soft and I couldn't help running it over my face with nothing on it a few times, it felt so luxurious!
I followed the instructions, applying a little foundation to the back of my hand and away I went. I was disappointed though.
The brush sucked up quite a bit of foundation, and left stroke marks on large areas such as my cheek line and forehead. It was also difficult to apply the right amount around my nose and between my eyebrows without it looking patchy or overdone.
I still had to blend it with a sponge afterwards, and unless it was applied heavily I didn't see much more improvement than if I had applied the foundation with my fingertips.
It rinses out easily, but takes quite a while to dry.
I still use it occasionally, but only for special occasions and when I have plenty of time.
I recieved mine when purchasing a clinique foundation so naturally i tried the brush with it.
The brush was nice and soft and easy to use however a lot of product got inbetween the bristles and clogged the brush really quick. I also didn't quite get the flawless finish i desired.
I did find the brush was easy to clean though the inside fibres were still coated in foundation as i couldn't deep clean it properly.
I really liked the design of the brush though the clear acrylic handle and the soft bristles made for a nice 'fancy' feel of the brush.
