“I’ve Found My New Favourite Make-up Brush” — India Knight, The Sunday Times Style
In her Sunday Times Style column, India Knight wrote about our Foundation Buffer 111, calling it her new favourite:
"Super dense and soft, this brush is brilliant for buffing your make-up for a seamless finish."
"With the right brush you can afford to be slightly cackhanded because it does much of the work for you. Here's a good one. It's called the Foundaton Buffer 111 and it's by the brilliantly named Otis Batterbee, who, it turns out is a real person. I find this very pleasing."
India’s trusted voice is one we admire, and we’re proud our brush became part of her beauty ritual.

We were delighted to be featured in The Sunday Times Style by beauty editor Phoebe McDowell, who included our Foundation Brush 103 in her round-up of the six best make-up brushes to buy now. The list highlights products chosen for their quality, durability, and thoughtful design—and we’re proud to be in such great company.
Phoebe praised the brush for offering 'a near seamless finish' and it's shape and performance.
“I tweaked the brush recently to have even more of tapered point, which has been trimmed by hand, so it really gets into spots like around the nose and under eyes," Otis told the magazine.
It’s this blend of professional quality and expertise that defines the tools we create—from individual brushes to complete makeup brush sets.
