This is a nice, well-built foundation brush.  The bristles are extremely soft, providing even coverage.  What’s not to like? Well, a couple of things, but these are merely quibbles.  The case is designed so the brush has to go in handle-first.  That means, in practice, that you both get foundation on your hand and must layer pull the brush out by its bristles.  A true design flaw. Also, closing the case is awkward, enough so that it might be difficult for someone with arthritis.  The closure is a fixed strap across the front; the top flap has to be fed under it.  The easiest way that I’ve found involves pushing my thumb under the strap in order to create a wide enough gap to allow the flap underneath.

Although I was expecting this brush to be larger, it is really a good quality brush.

Definitely prefer it to a standard fluffy brush for applying the pressed mineral foundation!

The brush is nice. It is soft and I'm able to blend foundation or cream pretty easily. Would definitely buy again.

This is a great brush. I bought it what feels like 100 years ago when I first tried the Jane Iredale pressed mineral bases. I stopped using the products ages ago but I still love the brush. It is pricey but has lasted beautifully. Very well-made and gives a smooth, even finish. Quality lasts!

Great brush for buffing on bronzer for face or body, blends color well so it doesn't look streaky, made from good quality materials very soft bristles for a synthetic brush.

I've been using the Handi Brush for the past 10 years. This is my 3rd and the same high quality that I've come to expect from Jane Iredale products. I waited over 2 months to write this because I read some of the recent reviews about the brush shedding and that the quality was different than past handi brushes. I have not experienced any shedding, the bristles are soft as can be, and the quality is the same as the handi brushes I've previously owned. I expect this brush to last several years. The only brush I use to apply my Jane Iredale pressed powder.

Had this brush and used daily for a couple years, took great care of it but bristles started collapsing in the middle and falling out, contact Jane and they replaced, happened again and they replaced with a different brush. New brush is great. If your looking to get a years worth then this is an excellent brush if well taken care of. Janes customer service is also exceptional!

Quality brush. Seems as though it should last a long time with proper care. My thought is a little too expensive for the size.

I have used this brush for years now and love it so much! It helps my powder go on so smooth! The bristles are so soft. My fave.
