Foundation Brush Real Techniques Mini Expert Face Brush Base

I wasn't expecting the "working surface" to be sooo small... I don't know what a full-sized brush looks like, as I ordered it from the EU, but upon receiving the package, one of the items was broken, so I had to return the whole package along with the brushes. When I reordered, the large brush was not available, so I decided to go for the mini version, hoping that the only difference would be the size of the "handle". And now I'm confused... Is this tiny brush really on a long handle? Or is it a mini version in every aspect?

This is love at first use! The foundation applies evenly and efficiently, without smudging.

This is the photo I managed to capture for comparison.

The Mini Expert Face Brush is truly an excellent and compact assistant! It fulfills all the advertised functions, including those of its full-sized counterpart, the Expert Face Brush. It excels particularly in contouring. The bristles are soft and do not shed, and they dry very quickly after washing. I disagree with the previous review that the working part of this little brush is slightly smaller than that of the Expert Face Brush; it is identical (I am attaching photo #1 for clarity). The appearance of Real Techniques brushes deserves a separate review ;) They are simply a joy to behold (photo #2 confirms this).

This brush is amazing! I have been using this full-sized brush for several years and I am very satisfied. Of course, the bristle part is slightly smaller, but it works just as well as the bigger brush. It's perfect for traveling, exactly what I needed! I bought it on sale and I am extremely happy. Thank you, makeup!
