    Bought this brush when DSquared came out. This is truly a 5.0 product: no shedding at all, applies blush/bronzer perfectly, and the hair is amazingly soft. Get this brush while supplies last!

    This is a great brush! It has so many different uses. You can use it for highlighting, putting on your blush, contouring etc... IT is very precise. It has a tapered end for accurate application!...
