Artis Elite Collection Smoke Finish Oval 8 Brush

Artis Elite Collection Smoke Finish Oval 8 Brush

The Artis Elite Collection Smoke Finish Oval 8 Brush ($65; netaporter.com) is a rather large, dense synthetic brush for foundation, setting powders, or bronzing/sculpting large areas of the face and body. I quite like the softness and smoke finish of the brush. It is quite large for my face, so perfect for foundation application (liquids more so than creams or thicker textures) and quick blending with less strokes. I do find it to be quite big for blushes and a bit too dense for powders. The brush itself doesn’t feel too heavy and is quite well made. The fibers are synthetic, great quality and very soft and dense. I do find it quite a bit of a task to clean since it takes forever to dry, but that apart it is a nice brush for foundation application -  particularly love it with the Dior Nude Air Serum foundation. The end result is flawless, not streaky (as long as you don’t buff too much) and most importantly, it is super quick to apply foundation with because of the larger size.

  1. Is there a certain trick to using it? I am baffled by these new brushes that look like horse grooming tools. Lol.
