Replacement for BE Flawless Face brush?

My BE brush is getting really yucky and its not soft anymore. It tends to poke my face and make it itch a little when I'm applying my mineral make up. I've been looking at brushes and I'm thinking that instead of buying another BE brush that I should try something else. Looking at all the different face brushes though I can't decide which one would work the same. Do you lovelies have any suggestions for me? It can be any brand and around $30 or so (though if its MAC I'll probably be willing to pay more).

IMO, nothing beats a MAC kabuki for applying minerals. I goes on beautifully,I think it's $45, so a little pricier but well worth it.

Well, I do have the 182 from the Novel Twist Pearlizer kit. I haven't used it yet. I always though my mineral foundation worked best with the use of two different brushes though. I also have the BE kabuki...

Has anyone gotten the same result from just using one brush?

It's difficult to get your hands on one because they're so popular, but they have wonderful customer service that will help you out if you're interested.

Do they have a website? That brush sounds very promising.

The bare escentuals Heavenly face brush is GREAT...SO much softer than the Flawless face brush, and it's really dense, so it's great at buffing the powder and smoothing it out. I think it's about $30.

Get the Too Faced Kabuki brush! It's super super soft and will not shed a single hair. Too Faced brushes are the very best! If you get the kabuki, you can pull the retractor all the way down for a more fluffy brush and then pull it up so the hairs are more dense for a more full coverage application!

I HATE BE brushes and threw them away along time ago. The only one I like it the concealer brush. I switched to the 182 and it works great. Its not as dense as the BE brush and I had to get used to that, but once I did it worked very well.

I hated BE brushes, they are so itchy and scratchy!

I've tried many brushes but ALWAYS go back to the MAC 182...it's the softest, most dense and luxurious brush out there - pricey? yes, but definitely worth every penny

Thanks everyone! I guess I'm going to have to break out my 182 that I got with my Novel Twist pearlizer!
