“Pros: Very good product, goes on smooth and blends well. SPF: 50 - awesome.
Cons: Sometimes too much comes out at once. Cannot recap the pen because of bristles - I even tried holding the bristles together (still could not recap w/o some bristles getting bent out of shape).
Tip 4 BoB: Please consider making ones with a cinnamon like color - for different shaded people.
Also can you make it so we can recap the brush pen?
Thanks.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback! We’re so happy to hear you’re enjoying your brush.
It sounds like we may be able to help with a couple of the things you mentioned! Before replacing the cap, be sure to slide the sleeve up over the bristles first. This helps protect the bristles and allows the cap to fit on easily without bending them. If you’re finding too much powder is coming out, the brush should also be in the closed position when you’re not using it, which helps prevent excess product from dispensing. See our How To Use page and video for details:

We also really appreciate your suggestion about offering additional shades. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sure to share it with our product team.
Thanks again for your review and for supporting Brush On Block!
“At the recommendation of my daughter-in-law, I purchased Brush-on-Block with a refill. I love this product. It is easy to use and great to put into my purse for travel. I layer it over my foundation as added protection.”
“I have been very pleased with the Brush on Block. I use it on my scalp where my part is and where my hair has thinned. Especially when I play golf and wear a visor. I was pleased to find this option.”
“I’m extremely disappointed with this product. The powder simply does not dispense into the bristles. No matter how much I flick, tap, or shake the wand, barely any product comes out.
It almost feels like this formula would be better suited for a traditional loose powder canister (similar to how Bare Minerals used to package their foundation), because the current delivery system just doesn’t work. The only way I can imagine getting product out would be to tilt my head back and shake it directly over my face—which completely defeats the purpose of a convenient brush-on application.
I purchased three wands (2 Touch of Tan and 1 SPF 50) and three respective refill canisters, so this was a significant investment. Unfortunately, all three wands have the same issue and barely dispense any product. I’ve watched multiple tutorials to make sure I’m using it correctly, but nothing has helped.
Overall, this feels like a waste of money and a poorly designed product.”
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear this has been frustrating, especially after purchasing multiple brushes.
What you’re describing is very uncommon for our brushes. Because the powder is finely milled, there is a short, simple “priming” step to get the flow started, but once activated, it should dispense evenly with light, consistent coverage. It definitely shouldn’t require excessive tapping or feel like a struggle to use.
Since you mentioned that all three brushes are behaving the same way even after watching tutorials, we’d really love to connect with you directly. We’re happy to hop on a quick call or video chat at your convenience to walk through the priming process together and make sure everything is set up correctly. Often it’s just a small adjustment that makes an immediate difference.
That said, we stand firmly behind the design and quality of our products. You’re well within our 30-day return window, and if we’re not able to get the brushes working to your satisfaction, we will absolutely make this right with a full refund for your purchase.
We appreciate you giving Brush On Block a try and would truly welcome the chance to turn this experience around for you.
“Honestly loving this. The color is flattering for my skin, I ADORE the design and flicking my wrist to bring the powder into the brush. How cool, what a fabulous idea. I don't apply right under my eyes because powder there accentuates texture, but I apply all over the rest of my face and I love it. My only remaining wondering is how many flicks to screen an entire face...”
“Love this product. I can carry it with me in my purse or on hikes for a quick application without the mess of a liquid sunscreen. I can reuse it as often as I want to even over makeup. I like the ease of application and having a refill available vs purchasing another brush. Highly recommend.”
“I really like this product. It goes on easily, I feel it protects my face from the sun. I use the transparent formula. I have bought the 50 SPF several times now and also refills.”
