Far more hygienic than putting fingers in the putty, and easier to scoop it out without *digging* into the putty. I used to have to keep swirling my finger to get a small film of putty on my finger, spread a little bit, swirl some more, etc. This thing can just dig in and be ready to go. Hygienically speaking, you're not double-dipping like described above (with face oils, any dirt, etc mixed in from fingers) and then touching your face with it - while this sounds paranoid, if you have acne prone skin or have active, young kids, it's a big deal. Also great - your fingers don't end up with a layer of primer on them that needs to be wiped/cleaned before you do anything else! Haha! The only awkward thing is putting it on like the lady in the video (applied to the face right off the scoop), but it's doable after a tiny learning curve - if not just take the putty off the scoop with your finger and dab around your face. Once you finger out how to get the putty off the scoop swipe-by-swipe in different places like she did in the video (takes a second, but warming it against the skin seems to help), you're pretty much contactless with the putty primer and no mess/slippery feeling on the fingers. The brush is nice and dense, soft and buffs the primer around the face nicely. While it does pick up a little bit of the primer between the bristles, the scoop gives plenty for the whole face. It's dense enough that it could be used as a foundation brush, too, afterwards (I use powder foundation, so I likely won't be dipping from primer to dry compact with the little bit of warmed primer still in the bristles, personally - but I don't see why those that use a liquid foundation on the back of their hand or dabbed on the face can't use it right after buffing in the primer). The scoop, while fat and very blunt, scoops and scrapes putty primer like butter.

Super super small

When people said they used this for primer and foundation without any details of dimensions i thought it would be safe to get as a foundation brush unless you are a wee elf good luck. it is super small but i guess soft ? Second time i tried to buy a brush first one litterally saying foundation brush on it and being super small and underwhelming.
