Louise Young is a brand that I've only really got to know about through watching Pixiwoo's wonderful YouTube vids, with the larger foundation brushes being the ones that appealed to me, I guess maybe because it looked liked they applied the base quicker and blended nicer.
I recently bought the Super Foundation brush from Fenwicks and it was love at first use. Even though in my Homemade Brush Roll post I said I wasn't able to fit any more brushes in my roll, I couldn't resist this addition. It is a round shape rather then the traditional flatter foundation brushes with the synthetic bristles having a good flexibility (without being floppy) to work around all areas of the face. It is soo soft, and the shape and larger size allow me to quickly apply my foundation without having to blend out any edges because the rounded, subtly tapered end does this easily. This can also be used for applying other face products.
I don't have any issues using my regular foundation brushes like my Ruby & Millie or Lancome, but this just really makes application much simplier and actually rather fun! (not that I find makeup application a chore, I rather like the whole ritual).
