I purchased this brush after reading/watching numerous great reviews on it and thought for $3 (what I paid from iherb) why not?!
Great decision. This brush is fantastic and has had a lot of use in a small period of time. The bristles are nice and soft and the perfect density for lightly applying blush to the cheeks as well as contouring under the cheek bones with bronzer. I find it gives a nice natural slightly contoured look and also comes in handy when wanting to blend out a slightly harsh contour.
I haven't had any issues with shedding which is awesome and the brush has kept its great shape despite numerous washes.
Would definitely recommend this brush, it is so inexpensive and a versatile addition to my brush collection.
I have used this brush to apply both blush and bronzer with fantastic results. The hairs are soft, do not shed and apply the product evenly resulting in a natural, non-patchy finish. The brush has a sleek, black handle and doesn't look or feel 'cheap'. I actually prefer this over my MAC 129 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great beginners brush or just a great bronzer/blush brush in general. I really can't fault this brush for the price!
Tips: When washing brushes always wash and dry with the brush on a downwards angle to avoid water/shampoo getting into the base - this can cause shedding!
