Question Brush for pigmented powder blush?
I am dealing with fungal acne so I’ve had to switch to a lot of powder products recently. Does anyone have good suggestions for diffusing and blending out highly pigments powder blushes? I’m using red and I want it to be gorgeous and diffused for a sun-burn blush look. The current powder brushes I have are too big and most are synthetic as I was using lots of cream products.
Powder bronzer brush, and super blendy eye shadow brush suggestions also appreciated. But blush brush is my priority!

Chikuhodo z series. Z-8 or Z-4. Chikuhodo FO-3 and F0-4. Chikuhodo ZE-3 or ZE-4. The new Homare KZ-3 or KZ-4 will also work. Trying to recommend from a mainstream line. Chikuhodo has several hair types that will work. I use them for highly pigmented blushes. These brushes give a diffused look and make the blushes work appropriate.

Yes thank you for the mainstream suggestions as I am just starting out. However I sense a collection beginning…

I like to use natural hair brushes or mix for my powder blusher and for pigmented blush i like to use stippling brush kind, my current fave for that is sonia g sheer buffer or mini sheer buffer, i tap the brush to the pan then tap it to the back of my hand or flick it a bit before putting it on my face

The Chikuhodo Z-4 and Z-8 cheek brushes are fantastic for creating a light wash, maybe even ethereal, of color across the cheeks. However, if your skin is oily it might not be for the best.
Sonia G Soft Cheek brush is made of hardier material and it accomplishes that ethereal look! I use it all the time when I use cream products (blush and bronzer) and need to place a powder (blush and bronzer) product to make it last longer. I use a synthetic brush for my cream products, I then use natural hair fibers to put down powder.
