I find that I need my brushes to be sturdy and able to take a bit of blending and buffing. This brush most certainly does not stand that test. It just collapses in a heap and leaves it's bristles all over my face. It says it is for wet and dry? I have proven that theory wrong! It most definitely is not for wet. It sheds all over my clothes and face. I paid a mere $5 so I can't expect miracles but it should at least live up to it's promises surely?
I do love the sleep, black design of the brush and it does look chic in my makeup brushes jar. It is soft and fluffy and feels nice to use but my impressed thoughts on it stop here. I then took to using it as a blush brush, hoping it would be better suited to a powder. NO! It still sheds its fibres.
I used it instead to give my face a shimmer of glitter and for this it's perfect! It is soft enough to just give a light dusting without leaving fairy poofs all over my cheeks. This is all I use it for now which is disappointing. I think if I were to buy it again, it would only be for my nieces as a present to fill up their makeup stash. That is all it is really good for, young girls who are just learning about makeup and how to use brushes.
Definitely won't help you when you try to squish it between your fingers to dust your cheek bones (hopefully you'll get what I mean!) as it won't hold unless you've got mammoth hands.
Good for when you've finished everything and you're going over your face with a powder of some sort to stop the shine.
Fantastic for the price, as all e.l.f products are.
