@ItsMizzMallon It is covergirl Clean makeup. You can get it at Walmart for about 4 bucks! I have switched to Avon Everlasting Foundation now though. :P It stands up a bit better to long days. :)

@BaileyNicolee97 It is alot! Ive been asked that quite a bit and the reason I used that amount is because it wasn't showing up on camera with my lighting. So I had to use more so you all could see it! :D

what about cleaning the brush? should it be cleaned often or at all? I've been wondering that because it seems like the brush hasn't been working as will since the first time i used it when it was new?

@abosborne10 I recommend a deep cleaning once a week or two depending on how often you use it. For deep cleaning find a gentle baby shampoo and wash the bristles in luke warm water with the brush end pointing down so you don't get water into the handle and break down the glue. let air dry. Other than that every time I use it I'll moisten a paper towl and brush it back and forth until i don't see any more color from my foundation. They have spray brush cleaners that work well for daily cleaning!

just to add to this video, if you start to get streaks with this brush PAT PAT PAT it out and it will go away :) also, if you are trying to cover a blemish, you should try a concealer with a small brush, instead of applying more foundation with the same large brush, because u can see the are around the blemish that has more buildup where it isn't needed, u don't get as much coverage, and it doesn't look as good :P just a tip... i'm a makeup artist... also an acne sufferer for 5+ years...

@hermione1135 Thanks for you tips! However the patting takes waaay to long for me! LOL I actually learned how to use this brush from my Merle Norman representative. She's been doing makeup for 40 + years. I do agree with the coverup however if I can cover it with a lil foundation and blend out the edges why not?! LOL

Good tutorial. But isn't that a little to much foundation? It just seemed like a lot when you were applying it. Lol As I always say less is more (:
