Well, I am currently using BareMinerals makeup by Bare Esentuals (which is a powdery-creme based makeup for those who don't know). The problem is that I am now feeling so sick of using the actual foundation brush that goes with it - Flawless Application brush as it shreds hair out a lot and it feels rough on skin!
Now, I am considering buying #13 Foundation from Giorgio Armani but I am not too sure if it will work well with powder makeup as oppose to liquid makeup which it is designed for?
Any suggestions? |

I had the same problem with the BE brush being too scratchy for my skin, so I tried the kabuki from Aromaleigh and LOVE it. It's so much softer.
I'm not sure about the Georgio Armani brush, but I've seen a lot of raves for the Jane Iredale Handi Brush.
Hope you find one that works better for you!  |

| I love my JI Handi brush and would definitely recommend it for MMU. |

| I second the JI handi brush. The bare escentuals brushes are horrible! In comparison to my other natural and/or synthentic hair brushes, the BE brushes shed and are rough. I tossed mine. |

| My favourite for mineral makeup powder is definitely the JI Handi brush. I've been thinking of getting a second one to also use for blush.... It is very soft, and has a flat base which is great for buffing and particularly great for picking up pressed mineral powder foundation. |

My favorite brush is the brush from TRUE cosmetics. It is a small brush (like the BE), but it is soft. TRUE powder brush
Soft short hair brush expertly designed for a stressless application of compact Protective Mineral Foundation that perfects without a trace. |

| Once I got my Jane Iredale Handi Brush, I realized how truly scratchy and abrasive BE makeup brushes really are. I gave my old BE brushes to my cat (he has a fetish for makeup or paint brushes: he tosses them thru the air, chases them down and then tosses them again) and I'll never go back! |

Ladies, I have bought the Nars Bronzer brush at the end!
Oh, it is SO SOFT and it apply my MMU perfectly! 
Couldn't be happier! |
