    I recently discovered this brush and I must say that I really, really like it. Especially for applying pot rouge or any other cream blush. It just goes on perfectly.

    I got this brush for $16 at my CCO. It is very very soft and luxurious. It has really helped me at contouring and being a lot more precise about where I place the color. That tapered edge allows...
