It's a very soft brush. Good for blending. I agree with all the other reviews who say it doesn't pick up pigment.

I can't stand this brush! It's much too stiff and does not apply eyeshadow well at all. I've tried using it with various brands of eyeshadow and still nothing.

I actually use this to apply my mineral makeup concealer in problem areas...works great! Soft, synthetic hair...no harming the animals! I've washed it a zillion times and is still good as new.

I am reviewing the old (pre 2006), small eyeshadow brush, not the large eyeshadow brush - I have both. I love my small TBS eyeshadow brush! It's my most useful brush at the moment. It picks up...

I actually really like this brush. I read the negative reviews after buying but before trying, and was worried that I had made a mistake. But after trying it for the first time, I'm very happy I...

i may be writing about the wrong brush as i have never found that it is too big, however it is a body shop brush and it is definitely an eyeshadow brush so maybe its just a difference in opinions!...

Like others, I don't use this brush in it's intended manner. It's too sparse, flat and thin to pick up dry pigment, and I feel the brush is not... full enough to give a well-blended application. ...

I work at Body Shop so I get 50% off. However, without the discount, I wouldn't buy this brush again because it's synthetic hair. I like natural hair better because it's softer. Although this brush...

This is a nice brush but not for powder. Designed as an eyeshadow blender brush, this is made of taklon with thin densely packed bristles so its kinda stiff. Much better to apply creams like...

This is great to use for using eyeshadow as eyeliner, frankly . . . but not great for eyeshadow on the overall lid.

Like everyone has said, this brush doesn't pick up powder. I am sure it is better for applying cream eyeshadow instead of powder. Buy this only when you are going to use it for applying cream...

This is another version of MAC 242 IMO. It has a round tip, hard bristles, it's perfect for cream products, but suck at powder e/s! I use this as a concealer brush or with cream e/s, just can't...

A terrible disappointment from The Body Shop's line of re-designed brushes (re-designed in 2004). This eyeshadow brush could barely pick up any pigment. It was also too stiff, and too thin for...

The hairs are too stiff for eyeshadow application but I use it as a concealer brush now and it works fine for that purpose :)

I gave up this brush. It's too big and it can't hold the eyeshadow and pigments well. My fingers could do a much better job.
