What is a good brush to apply mineral make up?

I just brought L'oreal mineral make up and I LOVE it. But, the brush sucks. Does anyone have any recommendations?What is a good brush to apply mineral make up?
A kabuki brush is typically your best bet for applying mineral powder foundations. Any densely bristled natural hair brush is going to be good because distributes pigment a little more evenly and gives better coverage.





Whatever brush you get, just make sure you clean it! Brushes can last a -really- long time if you take care of them. Natural bristle brushes need to be taken care of just like your hair, built up oils from your face and makeup will wear them down and eventually ruin them. If you're applying makeup everyday you need to shampoo your brush at least once a month. Just keep in mind that unlike your hair, your brush doesn't have a scalp to produce oil to condition it, so when choosing a brush shampoo, just make sure that it's sulfate free so that it doesn't strip your brush, and that it's very gentle. Baby shampoos work really well.What is a good brush to apply mineral make up?
typically people are supposed to use a kabouki brush for mineral makeup. The L' Oreal one is shiiity i've used it before. If you buy the maybelline mineral power foundation they give you a little kabouki brush with it which i LOVE!

A stippling brush (187 by MAC is the best example) or a kabuki brush. Many brands and stores sell these, so just look up your favorite makeup brands and see if they sell these.
Yeah, that brush does suck, I use the Bare Minerals Kabuki Brush and I love it : )
