blending dream

i got this brush after being let down in my go-to MAC 217. That brush is all natural and a bit short and boxier. It still blends amazing and I have a few back-ups, but it can leave some noticeable lineation around the crease. I have a slightly hooded lid, so I need the degradation to be perfect. More so I needed a hybrid brush to use with my beloved Chanel Illusion D'Ombre cream shadows. I love to use those as much as I can but anyone familiar with them knows they can be quite metallic or sparkly, so need to be sheered out for day. This amazing brush fits the bill perfectly.

Awful

The brush absorbed way more product than it out on my face. The brush hairs were also coming out while I was using it... For the first time. Worst quality and worst brush.

Airbrush Effect

I absolutely love this brush to apply color to the crease, above the crease, and to blend. It blends to give an airbrushed effect to the eyeshadow. I definitely recommend this brush. I also have a second one to use for cream concealer. It's the best!

Good blending brush

It does pick up products pretty well. I always reach this when I want to do a smoky eyes. Only thing is you need a light hand when doing the crease because it can draw a line that is hard to blend. Easy to clean. Bristles are soft.

Favorite All-Time Brush

If we could all have one brush, this should be the brush that everyone should buy! It is easy to use, and it helps apply the right amount of eyeshadow each time.
