I have been using a damp sponge to apply my base products for years but the one brush that I think everybody needs in their collection is (£27). This brush is magical! It gives the skin fantastic coverage and blends products like a dream. This is the only brush I will ever use to apply my foundation. When you think of Tarte, I think everybody thinks of, for a good reason. It is a phenomenal product and I am on my fifth tube of it now! I swear by this concealer and I'm always recommending it to everyone. It has fantastic coverage but never looks heavy or cakey on the skin. I use it on blemishes and under the eyes and I can't get enough of it.
