I admit, using my finger to apply foundation was what i was used to until someone told me that it rubs dirt and gerns into your pores! Eeeek! I dashed off to my nearest dis chem and found this beauty in a lovely plastuc tube for the sollid price of R55! Being a student is not easy and this suited my price range, so i bought it! And im so glad i did! Its soft smooth and blends so well on the skin. No more lines! I also find i use less foundation in the application process too! Score!! Would reccommend to anyone. Just remember to keep the brush clean and sterile! It goes with me everrrrywhere now!! Well done Palladio, well done!
