Introducing Yalmeh's Fondation Brush- A Pretty Badass Brush

I've reviewed a few products by Yalmeh so far, and have loved every single one of them. They seem to have a pretty great fan club too, as I've read loads of Yalmeh reviews from happy customers that praise their skincare products and makeup brushes. So, of course I was all about reviewing their new foundation brush.

First, I must be honest. I am a skincare junkie, which doesn't necessarily mean that I am a makeup junkie. Do I like makeup? Of course I do, and I own loads of it. However, the truth is that I used to be way more into it. I have always been told that my own makeup looks good, but, now that I'm 31 (yikes!), I'm not going to get trashed at dive bars and frolic around at punk rock shows anymore...well...not as often, anyway. I'm quite content taking a bubble bath with a glass of wine and candles instead. With that being said, I don't really need  to go crazy with makeup anymore. Sure, I can still experiment and makeup doesn't always have to be bold and wild.. but, when you're going to school full time and working part time in a psychiatric hospital, you don't have quite as much time to perfect the smokey eye, know what I mean? Sad but true.

Still, that's not to say that I don't binge on makeup purchases when I can, and I'm just as picky as the rest of them. When it comes to makeup brushes, a good makeup brush can make all the difference in your makeup application. When it comes to foundation application, I personally have always preferred using my own fingers over tools and sponges. I found that most brushes left lines on my face and didn't get into the creases well. But this all changed when I received my #Yalmeh brush.

First, lets take a look at the brush- it is made of synthetic fibers, which not only means that it is cruelty free and vegan friendly, but I personally have always preferred synthetic fibers, as they are more gentle on the face. I mean, they are so much more soft. Plus, that makes it less prone to allergic reaction.

For real, the shape and texture is what makes this product and what makes this brush my absolute favorite. Check out the pic:

Does anyone notice anything different about this pic? Anything that makes this particular foundation brush stand out from the rest? WHERE MY MAKEUP JUNKIES AT!?

It's the shape. The shape is goddamn awesomeeeee. I love the way it tapers off at the end- it's frigging PERFECT to get into the creases around the nose and the hairline without risking painting your hair with foundation too. Also, the hundreds of different bristle lengths allows you to control the heaviness of the foundation in different areas.

All in all, the brush is the perfect size too- not huge and gawky, like some brushes are. Instead, this would be great for traveling. Easy to wash too, and I like that the bristles are attached to a metal portion, rather than wood, which could start to rot after being washed repeatedly.

Honestly, this brush changed the way I apply foundation forever. Though I mostly use it to apply my tinted moisturizer and liquid foundations, this is also supposed to work great for loose powder. In addition, this brush could actually work great as a universal product- due to the tapered ends and control this product lets you have, it could also work great as an eyeshadow brush, even highlighter and concealer!

This is a wonderful product. Yalmeh done outdid themselves here. Plus, the brush is uber cheap- you can get it here on amazon for only $11.95 right now. It's offered for "prime" members too, so you can get it super quick, if you want!
