The great GB flat top has sadly for some reason ( hmm ) been discontinued for quite some time now Crying or Very sad

I use this every day with my MMU; it's truly the best brush I've ever had, I think it gives me great coverage and a very smooth and even finish.

Does anyone know of a good equivalent to this brush?

I have heard that the LaurEss Flat Top Brush is really good. I personally haven't tried it, but I own about 6 of their other brushes and they are all WONDERFUL!

Was that the black handled brush which was discontinued about 2 yrs ago? If so I may have some good news for you.

Hi Phredd!

Actually; the GB flat top I have is yellow/"woody" handled... I'm dying to hear your news, though... Wink

Awww shoot! Wrong brush then. A couple of years ago GB had a flat top black handled brush on clearance and eventually had them available for $1. I bought 5 and they mistakenly sent 10 and when contacted said I could just keep the excess. I gave a few away and opened a couple for myself but still have about 3 left I think. It's my fav blush brush. It's a very dense brush with relatively short hairs. I use my JI Handi brush for applying mineral makeup because it's dense, but wider and fluffier.

I've read on other m/u forums that Philsophy makes a decent substitute:

Sorry for the long link:

Speaking of long links, I like to go to this site to shorten any url for posting. Long links are ok too, but the tiny url is just so much cuter! Smile

Ahh; I think I've seen recs for this one on MineralMakeupMania.

Does anyone know how where to get this in Europe? I see that it can be ordered through the website above, but shipping is a small fortune... Crying or Very sad

What about Alima #25? Is that similar to the discontinued brush?
