It has just the right amount of weight and bristles! It's easy to use without straining your hands. It was a little long for me, but that was good. I was able to dab cushion foundation on it without it getting too much on my face, and I could tap it without any problems. This is a method I only use on days when I can put on makeup carefully, haha, but it definitely gives a beautiful finish! It doesn't hurt even when I slide it around quickly, and it doesn't streak easily.
