I kept hearing good things about this brush until I tried it for myself. It is wonderful!!!! I love the handle the way it's Nice,soft and how well it blends everything....shadows, concealers, pigments, etc. I love it more than my expensive brushes. Got it on clearance for around $9 at target. If I would've known I would've bought 2. I would totally recommend to everyone.A+++++++

CLEARANCED AT TARGET FOR $5.38!

Can't imagine paying $11 for a brush at Target (bc I'm super cheap) but for less than $5.50, I took a chance. Great for blending eye shadows in my crease! So glad I bought this! Love the ergonomic design as well, very nice feature

The best eyeshadow blending brush.
The best for applying heavy concealers sparingly and blending them out.
Fluffier and bigger than the MAC 224 for comparison.
Really impressed, especially for the price.

it collects a lot of pigment, and is big enough for the eye area, but for me it wared over time.

I have small eyes, so I only use this brush for blending. Boy, does it do a beautiful job! This brush has made more of a difference than any other product/tool in giving me a polished, professional look on my eye makeup. Has never shed, and is incredibly soft and fluffy. And that handle makes it fun to hold and easy to work with. I'll never be without this brush!

On the Sonia Kashuk website, this is called the Small Multipurpose Powder Brush (but it matches the picture on this review). This is BY FAR the best eyeshadow blending brush I have EVER used. It is so soft, never sheds, and blends like a charm.

Such a great blending brush, blends crease and above crease with ease. The handle shape is awesome, the feel of the brush in your hand is awesome. I need to purchase a few more of these, its such a great brush for a reasonable price. I bought mine at Target, I will definitely be trying more brushes from this line.

I bought this because of good reviews on here, and with a coupon I got it for pretty cheap. I was a little intimidated at first, it's a really big brush for eyes and I have a smaller eyelid space - but it works like a dream. It's good for packing color on my lid and blending it slightly into my crease, but it's too big for me to do much else with it. Most women probably have a larger space to work with than I do, so I still recommend it. A silly other note: I love the handle too, it's fun to hold.

This has been my main blending brush for over 2 years. It hasn't once shed a hair. It works just as well as the day I bought it. It never let me down. This is the only blending brush you need! Its perfect.

Bought this brush last week. I was looking for a brush to just blend out harsh lines, as this brush would be way to big for my crease LOL. It is soo soft! It's works pretty well for blending. I have the white one by Sonia as well and LOVE it!!. WOOOHOO for reasonable price good quality brushes!!

I love this brush. It's kind of big for my eyes, but it blends really well and doesn't scratch my eyes at all (like the old SK blending brush). Pick it up at target, you won't regret it!

I've had this brush for years (the white handle version) and, somehow, I can't find any other brush that can do as good a job of blending my crease color. I have MAC 217 and the blending just doesn't come out as airbrushed as it does with this fluffy tapered brush! It's hard to believe I got this on sale at Target for 99 cents! It's definitely worth its weight in gold- I will definitely repurchase when the bristles on this one wear down. (So far, not much breakage and it's been about 5 yrs since I bought it)

I have the other tapered blending brush by SK, the one with the white handle. I love it so much I actually have 2! Very soft and blends colors very well!

This brush is a dupe for Mac's #219 Pencil Brush.. Great for smuding eyeliner,applying Mac's fluid line,gel liners,and applying eyeshadow at the base of your lashes. |You could even use it as a lipliner brush.|

I love this brush,I highly recommend it!

I bought this brush a couple of years ago and I have used it pretty much everyday since then! I imagine it is like the MAC 224 brush, though I don't have that particular MAC brush. I use it as a blending brush, never to apply color, just to soften harsh edges and to make my eye makeup look more seamless. I wash it frequently with whatever shampoo/brush cleaner that I have on hand and have never had an issue with shedding or anything. I like it's weird ergonomic handle and the color of the plastic and the brush hairs are very soft and fluffy. Most of all, I love the price. For 14 dollars I got a brush that negates my need to buy a MAC brush with a similar purpose for at least double that price. It's definitely worth it and I'd recommend anyone checking it out if they are in the market for a nice blending brush at a great price.

Like the previous reviewer, this is for the small multi-purpose powder blending brush ($10.99), which does look like the picture. Looks like a large eyeshadow blender with a tapered head, and long bristles. Akin to a tapered 224? Miracle worker for these hooded, but wide eyes. I bought it at Target on a whim, mainly because it's hard for me to pass up any crease/blender brush without trying it out, and after doing so, I then returned to Target the next week so as to get a backup. I'm in love.

Yes, it's tapered, so if you want a real blender, you might not want this. But, if you're looking for something for a soft, subtle, but defined crease, this is a beauty for the price. I can finally, finally put in a nicely blended, dark outer V shade without the color straying all over my eye. Even-gasp-Mac's Cranberry; a truly stunningly beautiful shadow, but difficult for my fair coloring to handle decently prior to the SK tapered blender. And I can also now apply a lighter crease shade, window washer style, above my hood without it looking like I just stepped out of the late 70s. And no offense to the 70s because let's just say I lived through them and enjoyed them immensely, but it's 2010 now and, well, times have changed.

It washes nicely, dries swiftly with little fallout, and oh, just works beautifully. Two thumbs way up for this really sweet brush.

My brush is called the small multipurpose powder brush (the one with the black handle - it looks just like the one pictured). I ordered this brush because I was ordering all the SK brushes to try out and this one is a surprise hit for me. I guess it is similar to the "windshield wiper" brush. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this and honestly wasn't that impressed when I opened it. The bristles are long, soft and taper to a point. I thought it was to soft for blending but read that many people use the WW brush for concealer so I thought I would give it a try. I love it and I use it every day. The package recommends it for a 'light powdering around the eye with shadow or shimmer' but I use it with a creamy under eye concealer and it gives me much better results than I've ever obtained with a regular concealer brush (the filbert type). The taper gets into the corner and inner eye area beautifully and it is so soft I never feel like I'm pulling on my delicate eye area. I also use it for powder around my eye area and other detailed areas like around my nose or upper lip. It is great for applying a Guerlain Meteorites in 01 Mythic under my eyes to even out my skintone and give a little bit of light reflective quality to deflect shadows under my eyes. Highly recommended.
