Shiseido foundation brush vs TheFaceShop foundation brush

In this post, I will be featuring two very similar looking foundation brush. Here we have the Perfect Foundation Brush from Shiseido versus the Lesson 01. Circle Face Brush from TheFaceShop.
Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush vs TheFaceShop Lesson 01. Circle Face Brush
Both brushes come in a simple plastic box packaging. Both brushes have short handle for precise control during application and portability for travel.


Comparing them side by side, you can see that the Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush is slightly shorter than TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush.

Looking at the brush from top down, Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush seems to be a tad denser than TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush.

Both brushes have their ends tilted at the same angle. TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush is slightly wider than Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush.

Overall, both brush are almost identical in their functionality as a brush for all foundation formula, liquid, cream or powder. Both brushes give excellent pick-up of all types of formulas for a uniform application and impeccable finish. Gently tapered strands create an angled slant that best allows bristles to reach all facial contours. Although very much similar, I find Shiseido's denser brush better as it is able to spread foundation more evenly and faster.

At S$18.90, I find TheFaceShop Circle Face Brush very much more cost friendly than the Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush (S$40). So for those who are on a budget, do go for the Circle Face Brush! It works just as well and is only half the price of the Shiseido brush. For those who are willing to spend more for quality, go for the Shiseido brush. You will be amazed at how one brush can make your foundation go the extra mile for flawless skin.

The Little Black Beauty Box - Shiseido

Previously I bought a few boxes of Vanity Trove, but as I find the samples in Vanity Trove getting more and more uninteresting, I decided to look for other beauty boxes instead. After doing some research, I found the recently launched "The Little Black Beauty Box" (LBBB). A joint venture by mediacorp styleXstyle and Robinsons, each month, the LBBB delivers to your doorstep a box containing a variety of beauty products in a dedicated theme, all for just S$19.90 (free shipping in Singapore). Online reviews on the past boxes showed the boxes with reasonable sized samples from quite reputable brands, all for a lower price than Vanity Trove. So I decided to try out the August box which happens to be themed "Shiseido" a brand which I am a fan of.

Ribbon wrapped, the LBBB looks lik...
