IT Brushes For ULTA Airbrush Buffing Foundation Brush #110 Review


It Brushes For Ulta Airbrush Buffing Foundation Brush #110
Bought for: $24 (approx. P1,300)
Bought from: an online shop

I've recently talked about the It Brushes For Ulta Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush just a couple of days ago and here I am talking about another foundation brush which is an exclusive product of Ulta x It Cosmetics. Basically, the former one is what I mainly use for liquid products while the latter claims to be best use with powders and minerals. In my opinion though, their purpose is interchangeable. I can use one or the other however and whenever I want and personally, it just depends on which one is clean and is ready to use.


CLAIMS

Flat, top dense bristles deposit concentrated and targeted product for full, airbrushed foundation coverage. Use with your favorite powder foundation to achieve buildable coverage. IT Brushes For ULTA Airbrush Buffing Foundation Brush #110 is custom-designed for even coverage across all parts of your face, even under the eyes.

Hair: Airbrush finish blurring synthetic brush hair
Handle: Makeup bag friendly
Lightweight, durable, rounded comfort-grip handle
Bonus: Rounded comfort grip

DIRECTION FOR USE

For the most natural airbrush look, buff in your foundation with a smooth, circular buffing motion.

Beauty BFF Tip: If you are using a primer or moisturizer before your makeup, always make sure they absorb before applying your foundation to ensure the best possible coverage.


Product has a matte silver handle and the brand name is printed on it in sleek metallic font. With regular wash, I noticed that it's easy to rub off so if you don't want that to happen, be extra careful and as much as possible, refrain from wetting the handle during cleaning. The ferrule is made of plastic but still sturdy enough to keep the brush in one piece. The whole brush has a weight to it so you can  really tell that it's made of something.

The bristles are made of synthetic two-toned fibers which is what I prefer as I'm biased towards synthetics and cruelty-free products. The bristles are indeed soft and dense and they are really packed together. I've read a few comments from ULTA website claiming that this brush sheds a lot and they break easily but none of those happen to me. I think those are isolated cases or they must have just gotten bad stocks...either way, I'm happy with mine.


What I really like about flat top brushes is that they are quite flexible. They flare out even more with regular use so if that's a problem, store them with brush nets to keep their shape. You can buff them in and they would sort of expand so they cover a pretty huge part of the face and do the job very quickly. Due to the flat head, they also apply product evenly. Because the brush head is made of dense material, it doesn't soak products too much whether it's liquid or powder. Product just sits on top and go straight to the skin as you blend.


This is a great brush that is of good quality but I don't find too many uses unlike the blurring brush. Still, it's a great value for money. It does what it's meant to such as distributing makeup all over in a seamless finish so if you aren't expecting too much, this is a must-have. It's a very reliable foundation brush that is worth keeping.

It Brushes For Ulta Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush #101 Review


It Cosmetics Airbrush Blurring Foundation
Bought for: $24 (around P1,300)
Bought from: an online shop

Okay, here's to another brush review. I've been accumulating too much brushes and I thought that maybe before they worn out, I might at least dedicate a post for each one of them. If you are looking for new tools to use (which is probably what made you visit this page), I hope these brush reviews from my own point of view will help you decide which ones are really worth the money and which ones are meant to be skipped.

Today, we'll be talking about this It Cosmetics Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush ($24) which is an exclusive brush from the partnership of ULTA and It Cosmetics. I've been wanting to buy an It brush for quite some time now except that they don't accept international cards. Good thing, this became available from a local retailer.


CLAIMS

Use IT Brushes For ULTA Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush #101 with your favorite liquid, powder or cream foundation. Dome-shaped brush head allows for controlled, easy-to-use foundation application. Buff in circles or sweep across your skin - either way, the results will be an airbrushed finish!

Hair: Airbrush finish blurring synthetic brush hair
Handle: Makeup bag friendly
Lightweight, durable, rounded comfort-grip handle
Bonus: Rounded comfort grip

DIRECTION FOR USE

Apply your favorite foundation by buffing with circular sweeping motions for an airbrush finish. Blend downward and outward for natural looking application

Beauty BFF Tip: When applying foundation, remember to blend into your jawline for the most natural looking application. Dot foundation on your nose, cheeks, forehead and chin then blend for quick coverage.


The brush comes with a seal and plastic brush cap that actually made sure the brush head doesn't get deformed throughout the entire shipping process. This is the only brush I bought with that kind of packaging. It was very thoughtful of Ulta. Anyway, I threw the cap away and I hope I didn't so you can see how it looked like.

The brush handle has a silver matte color and is made of wood I guess as it's sturdy enough to last for quite a while. The ferrule is silver colored and is made of plastic. The brush head is made of two-toned synthetic bristles which are very, very soft on the skin. It's dome-shaped too which very much reminds me of my Morphe M439 Deluxe Buffer. In comparison though, Ulta brush is ever so slightly smaller in dimension and is less dense but still dense on its own.


What I like with buffer brushes like this is that they are very multi-tasking. Take this for example - you can use it for liquid, powder and cream products. Due to the density of the bristles, it blends any type of formulation into the skin very well. I absolutely like how it makes everything looking so airbrushed without tugging the skin. I also get zero streaks whenever I apply my foundation with this brush. Everything looks totally seamless.

The most efficient method with brushes of this type is to buff and blend foundation products in circular or swirling motion. Since the bristles are densely packed together, buffing brushes are perfect if you want a medium coverage.


Overall, I am happy with this brush though if you are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, the one from Morphe is the best way to go. It Brushes For Ulta Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush #101 is definitely worth the money but I think I can live with just the cheaper buffer brushes I own. Don't hold back if you want this for your collection (the quality is great!) but if you are just beginning, I would advise to skip this and save some of your money.
