Description

The round kabuki that buffs any base to an airbrushed finish.

What it's for: Buffing liquid, cream, mineral or powder foundation into a smooth, airbrushed base with circular motions. Who it's for: Anyone who wants full, flawless, streak-free coverage — and a multitasker that handles bronzer, blush and highlighter too.

✨ Round, domed head buffs product in circular motions, reaching every contour with no streaks or patches

✨ Works any formula — liquid, cream, mineral or powder — from a sheer veil to full, airbrushed coverage

✨ One brush, many jobs: base today, bronzer, blush or highlighter whenever you need it

Prep your skin first with… the Face Sculptor Roller to de-puff and the Metal Gua Sha to sculpt — a buffed base always sits better on prepped skin.

Why not complete the look with… the Concealer 3D for targeted coverage once your base is down, and the Powder Brush to lock it all in.

Pro tip: Buff in small circular motions from the centre of the face outward for the most even, airbrushed finish.

Easy to use, easy to clean, impossible to mess up — that's the Nanshy way.

Product details & FAQ

What skin types is this brush suitable for?

All of them! The antibacterial Taklon fibers are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin, so whether you're oily, dry, combo, or reactive, this brush has you covered.

Can I use this brush with all foundation types?

Absolutely. Liquid, cream, mineral, powder - the Buffed Base handles them all beautifully. It's basically the swiss army knife of foundation brushes.

What's the difference between buffing and stippling?

Buffing means working the brush in circular motions for a natural, sheer finish. Stippling is more of a bouncing motion that builds coverage without streaks. Same brush, two completely different looks depending on what you're going for.

How do I clean my Buffed Base brush?

Easy - hand wash with mild soap, rinse until the water runs clear, reshape the bristles, and lay flat to air dry. Do this weekly (or more if you're using it daily) and it'll stay soft and gorgeous for years. Need more detail? Check out our guide on how to clean your brushes like a pro.

Is this brush vegan and cruelty-free?

100%. We're PETA approved and proud of it. The bristles are made from synthetic Taklon fibers - no animals involved, ever.

Will the bristles shed or lose their shape?

Nope! These brushes are built to last. The bristles are secured with robust copper ferrules, so you won't find stray hairs in your foundation. Treat them well and they'll keep their shape beautifully.

What's the best way to store this brush?

Keep it upright in a brush holder or flat in a makeup bag - just make sure it's completely dry first. Storing it bristle-down while wet can loosen the ferrule over time, and nobody wants that.
