204 Buffing Brush

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

Real Techniques' 204 Buffing Brush is a dense, high-performing foundation brush that one creator compares to the It Cosmetics brush at a quarter of the price. It's only available in a set with a second brush, which she calls a throwaway, but the 204 itself remains a primary brush in her rotation. For those seeking an affordable, effective buffing brush, this is a strong option if you're willing to buy the set.
