We all know how important it is to have the right tools for the job, and how good makeup brushes are worth every penny you spend on them, and … oh, yadda, yadda, yadda. Because here's the thing: brushes are boring. There, I said it. And I'm not saying I don't like them, because I do: they just don't make my heart beat faster in the way a new mascara or a pretty palette will.

This one by Guerlian is different, though. Well, you only need to look at it to see that. It was designed especially for their Terracotta Bronzing Powder, but you could use it for any kind of powder you liked, and it'll also look nice on your dressing table, if you have one. It even comes in a velvet pouch. So who says brushes are boring? (Oh, wait: it was me, wasn't it?)
