Wanted to love it, but put off by chemical odour

While I absolutely loved how soft the brush bristles were and the perfect size of the handle (and its convenience for travel!), the awful, paint-like chemical smell of this brush absolutely put me off. Every time I use it to apply my powder foundation, I catch more than a whiff of it - I also found that the smell transfers to any skin that I use the brush on. It's possible that the smell comes from the plastic tube that the brush is sold in - if this is the case, Nude by Nature should seriously consider repackaging this product. It's possible that washing the brush and storing it outside of its package may eliminate the scent, but it is seriously off-putting when first opened and used. I'm also not a fan of the fact that this brush is made in China, considering its price point. It's also unclear whether its bristles are synthetic; however, given this company's goals, I believe that they are.

Amazing.

I received this for free to review from Chick Advisor and this brush is just wonderful. I have many brushes from many brands but nothing compares to this one. It grabs the product well, it’s so unbelievably soft and just blends the product flawlessly.

Amazing makeup brush; amazing results

I was looking forward to trying this buff brush with the free sample of perfecting loose foundation (see my separate review) The brush worked so well with the make up. Good quality, no bristles fell out while using. I buffed in a circular motion and got great coverage. I’m looking forward to trying the other products in this all natural Australian brand!

I'll say nothing bad but nothing awesome also ;) It's a basic powder foundation brush. I have better brush at this moment but cost more that's for sure. While I think it's the basic in makeup kit... you should invest. It's not bad at all, but I'm wondering if it'll last... Only time will say... :P But for the price give it a try.

The brush is so soft and feels so nice on my skin! I am obsessed. It sits well in my hand too and is not awkward to hold at all. Thanks ChickAdvisor. #gotitfree in exchange for a honest review.

LOVE this brush!

This brush is so soft and fantastic for full face coverage! It’s almost therapeutic just powdering my face with it! It picks up loose powder well and does not shed. Thanks to Chick Advisor, I got it for free and I love it!

Tout en douceur !

Merci de m'avoir donné l'opportunité de pouvoir essayer ce pinceau pour poudre libre ! Il est doux sur la peau et étend très bien la poudre sur la peau ! J'adore l'étui pour le ranger. De la belle qualité de produit !!
