Senna Jumbo Powder Brush 614 Review

 It's Friday night and I am baking up come cookies. Cookies to go with a Christmas movie. I might make some hot chocolate and spike it. Perfect start to the weekend.

Before I get started with my Friday night I do just want to knock this brush review out. I am still slowly but surely getting through reviewing the many brushes in my collection. I finished the eye brushes and now moving on to the face brushes.

Senna claims: 

The extra large tapered shape applies loose or pressed foundation powders, setting powders, and bronzers smoothly over the face. Natural hair. Swirl brush into gentle liquid cleanser in palm of your hand. Rinse with warm water. Squeeze out excess water with a towel. Mold brush to original shape and lay flat to air dry.

There's something about powder brushes. I don't wear powder often but I LOVE powder brushes. I'm surprised I don't own more because I always have the urge to buy more. 

I am pretty sure this one is long discontinued. I bought it a few years back on clearance. I still see them floating around though as some online stores seem to still have them in stock. 

It's super soft but not very dense. The bristles are longer and a bit floppy. Which is different than most of the other powder brushes in my collection- especially the MAC ones. That makes the pick up of powder softer and if you use it to apply colored powders like blush-bronzer everything goes on a bit less pigmented than if you had more dense brushes. Could be a good thing if you are heavy handed. It can definitely help you get a more blended look.

I had read somewhere powder brushes are originally for dusting excess powder off. But I typically use them to apply blush/bronzer and occasionally will use them to apply powder. It's just I rarely use a setting powder anymore. Especially in winter.

It is a natural haired brush- my favorite! I prefer natural hairs over synthetics. 

I love the handles (color is very pretty), the ferrule, etc. The quality is pretty nice. Mine still looks new- although admittedly I haven't used it a ton since I have had it since I don't wear full face make-up often. 

Overall, I definitely didn't need this brush...but it's a good one. I'm happy to have it in my collection and whenever I rotate it in I am always happy to use it. It's multi-purpose and I can see it being in my collection for years and years.
