Tom Ford Bronzer Brush: Review, Photos, Comparison with MAC 150

If you want a flawless look indulged in pure luxury Tom Ford’s brushes are absolutely for you. Once you touch or use them you will not want to go back to your older brushes. With this warning and without further ado I give you the Tom Ford Bronzer Brush.

Tom Ford Brushes are made in Japan by Hakuhodo ( oh yes best brushes are made in Japan).

The bristles are not cut but specially and densely packed so it does not irritate the skin. Natural goat hairs are white, very soft, long and flexible. The softness and density of the brush allows you to pick up right amount of product while evenly distributing it on your skin with a heavenly and exquisite feel.

The special packing of these natural hairs start in the middle forming a nice dome shape that caresses every angle of the face. This big brush also gives you the advantage of spending less time during powder or bronzer application.

Since the brush is dense compared to other more classical brushes you may have a heavy hand at the beginning. So play with it couple times.

Bronzer brush was specifically designed to be used with Tom Ford’s Bronzer. It comes in a large pan just suitable for the bronzer brush. No worries Tom Ford’s Bronzer Brush also works great with setting powders, other bronzers etc.

Cleaning is quite easy. White bristles are not stained permanently no matter how pigmented your products are. Cleaning with a brush cleanser or washing restores the Bronzer brush back to its creamy soft white color. It does not shed. Given the quality and performance the price is worth it.

Price: $110

Comparison with MAC

I like MAC 150 Large Powder Brush as well but it was irritating my face after applying powders possibly due to the bristles.

Sadly 150 brush can be a bit scratchy sometimes and shed much more compared to TF brush.  Although MAC 150 is also a large densely packed dome shaped brush, Tom Ford Bronzer brush is denser, softer and more durable.

MAC 150 is ideal for using with powders and bronzers. It picks up less product than TF bronzer brush.

Not all MAC brushes are made in Japan. MAC makes their brushes in Japan, France, USA and China. MAC 150 was made in Japan and of goat hair. Then again there is degrees of quality of goat hair.

Price $32. It is cheaper than TF Bronzer Brush but if you ask me and if you have acne prone skin like me that can get itchy with brushes, I would recommend TF Bronzer Brush!
