While you can use this brush for foundation, I primarily use it for cream blush application and blending. It's also great turned sideways for cream contour in the hollows of the cheeks. Mine is quite soft and doesn't bother my super sensitive skin at all. I've used it for 5 years in rotation with a few other brushes and it still looks and works great. For the price point, you would be hard pressed to find a better small face brush for liquid and cream products, especially if you love long handles.

Makeup Brush
I see alot of people gave this excellent reviews but for me this brush is a bit scratchy for my sensitive skin, not as smooth as other fude foundation brushes I own. It is not the brush's fault I have sensitive skin. I don't know if I received a faulty one, I wish I liked it more like everyone else. This would be great as a workhorse for makeup artists.
The small shape is great for placing any liquid foundation and also blending it out. It does not suck foundation up. The hair is not as soft as the saikoho hair but it is still okay for my sensitive skin.
I use this brush to lay down my foundation color and I then continue to blend with another brush. It's a very soft brush although it might be a touch rough on sensitive skin types. The natural hair color is actually very appealing to me as the brush doesn't appear to be dirty (which is a huge pet peeve). The GSN series handle applies for ease of use. Highly recommend!
