PRO QUALITY: I'd give TEN STARS if I could!!
vela.yue brand offers hands down some of the best makeup brushes anywhere, regardless of price. Folks, this is the unicorn of makeup brushes -super-high quality even for professional level use, yet offered at drugstore prices. I've washed these brushes and used them for several months, they've proven to pick up and apply product absolutely beautifully. Build quality is very solid, no loose hairs even while washing. Measurements given are accurate, so pay attention to those if It matters to you. After I bought one brush, I went and bought almost all of their other synthetic hair brushes, and multiples of many of them - even if I didn't have an immediate use for some, they are THAT good. This is from someone who LOVES and appreciates high quality tools. FYI, often 3-5 vela.yue brushes would = the cost of ONE of my (crappy) MAC brushes. I was NOT compensated in any way for these reviews, I used my own hard-earned $ to buy these brushes. The rest of this review will be about the individual brush(es) I purchased so you have an idea of individual brush performance. FYI, I now only use mineral powder makeup products (and fairly lightly on most days - but professional level application), and only use synthetic hair makeup brushes so my reviews will be pertinent to these details.The Foundation Brush Large Press Full Brush applies my Alima Pure mineral powder makeup extremely smoothly, and indeed it's full coverage - very very soft brush hairs, very very dense. Highly recommended for FULL COVERAGE.I use the Bronzer brush to apply blush - has the perfect soft give to the hairs to LIGHTLY apply blush, but I use a smaller duo-bristle brush to be more accurate for bronzer application.I found the Powder Super Large Brush to indeed be very large - actually quite dense also. Too large and dense for my personal face makeup application, but would be amazing for any body applications. I use a different vela.yue brush to apply my finishing powders (see my other reviews for details).Again, cannot stress how much I LOVE these brushes!! Wish everything was made at this high level of quality and pricepoint!!* tip: some brush prices are better on eBay.

Brush 2 replace all beauty blenders !
I'm shocked at what a great Lil brush this is. My experience in the past w/ amazon brush purchases has been hit or miss w/ names I don't know. I haven't used this for powder foundation yet, but for liquid or cream it works amazingly for full coverage. I usually use a tapping motion as opposed 2 buffing, which gives me the fullest coverage. I do buff edges & make sure there are no streaks & this brush does both method well. I have only washed it once but there was no shedding while washing or on my face & for how dense the brush is, it dried quite quickly. The ferrul & handle both seem sturdy & have a good weight 2 them. I'm a licensed esthetician in FL & occasionally do makeup as well; I would, def add this brush to my kit to use w/ clients. It's extremely soft, prob 1 of the softest brushes I own, & I own hundreds. I'm interested in looking at other brushes made by the same brand. I only saw 1 other on this listing but perhaps there are more to 2 the line. If they perform as well I'd buy all of them. I think $10 in today's market is completely reasonable for a good foundation kabuki brush. Even drugstore lines like real techniques & eco tools have single brushes creeping into that range, & if you're looking 2 invest in good brushes by sigma, it cosmetics, mufe, etc., you are absolutely going 2 be paying $15-25+ a brush. If u wear liquid foundation often & like the beauty blender or another sponge but don't like that it's hard 2 get full coverage w/ a sponge, try this. It's soft enough & dense enough to apply like a sponge but won't absorb your product.

Love it!
I'm so impressed with this brush! The bristles are so dense and soft that it really is like a brush/sponge hybrid. The bristles are even and secure. This is top quality for a great price. I have found that it's better to dot liquid foundation on your face instead of picking it up with the brush, because it absorbs a lot less that way.

FYI, I now only use mineral powder makeup products (and fairly lightly on most days - but professional level application), and only use synthetic hair makeup brushes so my reviews will be pertinent to these details.I use the Flawless Face Multipurpose brush to apply my finishing powders - as in all the vela.yue brushes the bristle tips are very very soft (not pokey). For this brush there's more 'give' to the whole head (not too dense). Instead of 'swiping' on finishing powder which would disturb the underlying foundation powder, I lightly load up this brush with finishing powder and 'dab' it on in my T-zone where I need more shine control. Voila! Perfect application, and foundation powder has not been displaced.Again, I cannot stress how much I LOVE these brushes!!
