Short life span
I bought this about a year ago and thought it was great until it started to shed hairs a few months ago. Now when I use it my face and top are covered in the brush hairs. I would have expected it last longer given the price so I am giving it one star.

Great brush for applying powder, blush, or bronzer
I like this brush a lot. I had used bigger brushes before, but this one is fabulous for applying blush or bronzer. It is meant to be a powder brush but I use it for those other two things. It is the perfect size to get great coverage in one swipe on your cheeks or forehead. Plus it's a good size brush, not tiny, but not huge, so it's really easy to carry daily in my make up bag in my purse. Love it!

The perfect contour brush
I have a few hourglass brushes and I love them. The ambient powder brush is my absolute favourite. I love that it comes with a little pouch. The brush is small but is perfect for contour. You could absolutely use for highlight ...powder...blush, but personally because of its shape it's the ideal contour brush

Perfect travel size brush
I only use hourglass brushes now. They are beautiful, this applies my powder foundation effortlessly, and they wash really well! The brush is small but is perfect to have on the go or in my travel bag for holiday. Although it is small it still applies my powder product so evenly. I have very sensitive skin but Hourglass brushes are so soft and have never caused me any issues

Super soft
I have been wanting to buy this brush for so long and I am glad it did. Its super soft. I like how big it is, i have loved using it for contour and highlight as the shape is perfect for both. It comes in a little pouch which made it feel like luxury when it arrived.

Perfect for the highlighter & a joy to look at
Beautiful brush comes in its own little pouch, wouldn't want to use anything else with the matching highlighter powder. Expensive but it is a luxury product and hopefully won't have to buy ever again!
