Love it: Stila One Step Complexion Brush #33

Whenever I get my makeup done by Mecca Cosmetica maestro Chris, I marvel at the speed and dexterity of his foundation application and the cleverness of his tools. One I had my eye on for a while was Stila’s One Step Complexion Brush #33, which I fell in love with so much over time that I just had to have one of my own.
Since I took it home I have used it religiously pretty much every day, and have to say that it is a true marvel. A dual-ended foundation and concealer brush, it allows you to blend both liquid and powder products seamlessly for effortless makeup application and a flawless finish every time.
One end beautifully blends liquid, creams and powder foundation into your skin, while the other delivers precision concealing for a perfected, polished complexion.
The synthetic bristles are shaped to imitate application with your fingertips, but are firmer and more flexible for quicker, easier makeup application, and as the bristles are synthetic, the transfer of oils and bacteria is pretty much zilch. The tapered brush tip can burrow into tiny, hard-to-reach crevices, and is also great for eye shadow colour.
The ultimate in double-duty, there is very little this brush can’t do, so it’s no surprise it is an Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner and the ultimate must have in my kit!
