LOVE LOVE LOVIN IT!
I have dry skin and u finally foundation that worked for me but the thing is I didn't have any stipple brushes which I heard are really good for liquid foundations.So I looked on sephora,m.a.c,benefit ,everything!!But alas the brushes were $35+ and I can't afford that then I found this $3 brush and immediately bought it.I came home and applied the foundation in circular motions with this stipple brush and I LOVED IT!my skin was absolutely flawless.i couldn't ask for more.Thanks E.l.f!
Like It
I just ordered this brush and I actually really like it. I had their foundation brush and like this one way better. I was able to get a more even application with it. I use it with liquid foundation and it works pretty well. I saw several reviews that were disappointed so it all depends on your application preference.
Too flimsy!
I really needed a good stippling brush, and I hadn't owned one prior to this one, I figured ELF was a good route to go since I like some of their other studio brushes. Well, I was wrong. This brush is extremely thin, and the bristles are too long, which makes them too flimsy to really work with! I wanted to use it for liquid and cream foundations, but it just doesn't cut it for those. It does almost nothing. I did find that I can use it fine for applying a highlighter, like Too Faced Pink Leopard which I use on the tops of my cheekbones, but that's about it!
I like using this brush for cream blushes but I that's all I can really think of. I use to use this brush as a foundation brush, but it's too streaky and doesn't apply that nicely since it's not dense and compact. But luckily the price is affordable.

Not good for foundation, but has other uses!
I ordered this knowing that it wasn't as dense as the e.l.f powder brush, but I still wanted to try it because I'm obsessed with makeup. But gosh I didn't know how much it lacked density. This is a pretty thin stippling brush, similar to the one I have by BH Cosmetics, but the bristles are very soft on my skin. Since I can't use this brush for my foundation, I instead use it for blush and a really thin layer of tinted moisturizer or BB Cream. I also like to use this brush for cream products like blush and it retails for $3.
Pros:
- Price
- Availability
Cons:
- Not dense

The stippling brush is great to apply powder or cream blush but unfortunately it's a little to thin and flimsy for foundation. It also washes easily and doesn't shed. This brush would be a lot better if the bristles were more sturdy.
Perfect for light coverage
I haven't tried any other stipple brushes, but based on the other reviews it sounds like the e.l.f. version lacks density for achieving a good finish. I don't like a heavy finish though, so I'm perfectly happy with this. In my opinion, stipple brushes aren't for quick application - I blend my foundation thoroughly, until there is very little product left on the brush.
I haven't used it for powder - the brushes do seem too sparse for anything other than liquid foundation. It blends creme and liquid products, including blush, decently. I've read some reviews complaining that the white part is hard to get clean, but I wash all my tools with the cleansing oil I use for my face and it cleans them up good as new. I only wish e.l.f. did this in a travel size for my makeup bag!
I was very excited when I ordered this brush but when I received it was all twisted and bent inside the packaging. That first impression only seem to prepare me for failure. I was able to salvage the brush and it worked ok. I had never used a stipple brush before and I figured before I go ahead and pay for a high-end one let me try the ELF brand. So now that I tried it I definitely want to go out and buy a stipple brush just not an ELF one...hehe. If your starting out or just want to try the brush out first...this is the way to go....only $3

Thin & Flimsy Bristles
Like every other girl who's read the reviews, I too was overjoyed - till I actually tried the brush out. Probably it's not too great for foundations (any form) or powders but I've kinda been using it for my brush and it works pretty fine. Nothing much to complain since I've used it for another reason now. Conclusion, it's a so-so brush... Wished it was more dense!
I was very extremely happy to get this due to the reviews. But, what I got was a small amount of bristles that were extremely fragile and could not easily blend the product. I was extremely disappointed. I was hoping to expect a really good brush but as you can see that wasn't the case. The style of the brush is very sophisticated along with their other line products but this specific brush was a huge miss!
