Retractable Powder Brush

Well ladies, if you decided to take my advice about the new Smashbox Halo Loose Powder Compact I would suggest you purchase a retractable powder brush so that you can have a great soft brush that can be kept clean with everyday travel. There are actually not that many company's out there that have a retractable powder brush but there are a few worth mentioning...

If you want to go for the extravagant then you can go for the La Mer retractable brush this retails for $70 and really big bristles.  But you should remember that any brush manufactured in the US is made in the same three warehouses so what your really paying for is the name and the wooden handle.  So this isn't really worth it to me but if you want a great name then go with that. 

Next, there is a great Kabuki retractable brush from Too Faced made with their trademark "Teddy Bear Hair", not natural hair...very soft and affordable...the bristles are compact so they pick up powder easily.  But it does take longer to clean the brush. Retails for $28 and available at Sephora or any department store. 

And the last one I would recommend is the Sephora Brand Retractable Powder Brush...a smaller brush than the Too Faced brush and made with natural hair.  A sleeker design and the bristles are just as soft. Retails at Sephora for $28.
