I loooooveeee this brush.. for the simple fact that it is soooooo sooooo soft, i could just brush it over my face all day :P
I bought mine off iherb for $3 so very very affordable. I use this to apply bronzer, clush, loose powder etc and it does a fab job. The bristles are great and it appears to be of really good quality. I like the size of it A+++++++
I don't actually know what this brush is supposed to be used for, but I used it for is bronzer and I love it for that. It's tapered so you can contour with it but I also use it for an all over bronzer brush. I have washed it a few times and I don't think it's shed at all, it's super cheap and nice looking.
