Review: Everyday Minerals Flat Top Brush

June 3, 2009 Paris B 19 Comments

I no longer use mineral makeup for various reasons not least of which problems with color matching is one and untold reactions are another. I’m presently happy with my powder foundations from various brands and I don’t intend to stray 🙂

Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush

That said, with the Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush mocking me for abandoning mineral foundation, I had to find another use for it. And find it I did!

The Everyday Minerals flat top brush is excellent for applying powder foundation!

All the benefits of the flat top brush comes to play when using powder foundations as with mineral foundation. The packed synthetic bristles are super soft on the skin and easy to wash (although it takes AGES to dry) and it applies powder foundation like a dream.

I’d used powder brushes to apply my foundation before to help it go on more sheerly but they’d always been the domed sort see: Sonia Kashuk Powder Brush.

With a flat top, the Everyday Minerals brush picks up powder easily and you can buff it into the skin too to create a more even finish. In fact, I’ve found that with slight buffing, I take the powder further thereby using less product on my face, yet giving enough coverage.The coverage is also more natural and sheer and less cakey than if I was to use a sponge. It offers slightly better coverage than a fluffy powder brush too.

So, like many happy owners of this little brush marvel, I will stick to using the Everyday Minerals flat top brush to apply my powder foundations. I’m a happy camper!

It does take a while to dry after washing. Unlike my other brushes, this one takes at least 2.5 days to fully dry. Sometimes I cheat and run my hair dryer quickly over it when I’m drying my hair so its semi dry, before air drying, but I don’t do it often for fear of spoiling it.

The Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush costs RM39 at LovingMinerals.com or US$10 on Everyday Minerals‘ website.

Pros: Soft bristles, Picks up color easily, Gives a smooth look to the foundation, Affodable

Cons: Takes forever and a day … and a half to dry

      Hi plue

      Yep its about a day at least to dry if I’m patient or faster if I take a dryer to it. Its pretty good for powder foundation. I’ve stopped using the sponges.

    I love using this brush for my mineral foundation. I try to separate my brushes so that I’ll have excuse to own more :p I ought to use this brush with my pressed powder foundations too. The sponge just looks so icky most of the time :-/

      Hiya Connie

      Sneaky but effective way to get more brushes! 😉 I actually started using it for powder foundation because of the sponge. I can never get it clean… and tend to forget anyway

    I’ve been using this too! Though I only need about half a day or so to dry, I wash at the end of every week.

    After washing I’d flick the water off, bristles side down. Then wrap the bristles with towel/thick wad of tissue and squeeze hard! Then I’d fluff the bristles out before balancing the brush on the edge of a table to dry (so that the bristles isn’t in contact with any surface).

    Haha, I just don’t understand why some ppl’s brushes take so long to dry. It’s a common complaint. Maybe so happens my room is in a dry air spot? =(

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
