Because of the high price, I had high expectations, but it exceeded them! It allows you to apply blush softly, is easy to maneuver, and is incredibly easy to use! The bristles are so soft, and once you use this brush, even the slightest tingle from other brushes becomes an annoyance...
I use this as a blush brush, and it applies color exactly where I want it without any irritation. Rather than applying a soft color, I think it's better for adding color in specific areas. I apply blush over a large area with the NARS Kabuki Brush, and then use this brush to add color to the high points of my cheeks. I like how it picks up the powder well (I use RMK blush) with just a tap or two, and doesn't require too much scrubbing. I've used brushes like ROSY ROSA and Welcia Pharmacy's original blushers to apply blush, but they applied too thickly, and if I applied too thin, they would disappear by the evening. I decided to try a new tool, and after purchasing this brush and a NARS brush at the same time, I've been able to achieve the color I want. It wasn't a cheap purchase, but I'm glad I decided to take the plunge.
It's on the far left in the photo. I use this as a highlighting brush. It applies both hard and soft highlights beautifully. It's also soft on the skin, making it a great brush.
