This is a great blush brush to use for highly pigmented blushes. It's really easy to control, even with a heavy hand you won't pick up too much blush, yet you're still able to pick up a lot of product if you're dealing with a blush that is less pigmented. It makes blending blush a breeze, and you don't have to worry about getting product all over the apples of your cheeks. This brush ensures that only the tip of the apple or the upper contour of the cheek area are coloured. That's how easily maneuvered it is.

I use this with my E.L.F. Studio Blushes in Candid Coral and Tickled Pink.

Easy to handle and blends very well. Couldn't ask for more (except that I had to trim mine when I got it, it had a few stray hairs. But again, nothing a pair of super sharp scissors can't handle).

This brush is great for contouring blush and bronzers. I would say it is equally as good as an expensive brush from mac or bare minerals. I bought this for under $10 and couldn't be happier.

For me it's soft . But it DOESN'T pick up almost any color. For me it feels too small, almost too flat. Reminds me more of those flat liquid foundation brushes rather than a fluffy blush brush. You can use it for other things ... But blush ?! I don't think so.

These ELF brushes are fine for say, a teenager or college student on a budget but to me, they are scratchy and feel like really poor quality brushes.

It's worth saving up an extra few dollars and splurging on or two multipurpose brushes. I gave mine away.

I don't actually wear blush. I guess I don't fully understand what color to use or how to make it look good. However, I do contour, and this brush works PERFECTLY for that.

It's fluffy enough to get a nice, soft wash of color (I use NYX Taupe blush to contour). It's the perfect size and shape for what I use it for. You can rotate the brush 90 degrees for a wider or narrower application.

You really can't beat the price either. I have a ~$20 kabuki brush from ULTA that has shed like crazy since the day I got it. I can't even use it and ended up replacing it. This e.l.f. brush hasn't shed any hairs yet and doesn't seem like it will (not more than any other brush would). It's a really great value.

If anything happens to the brush I have now, I would absolutely buy another. Since it's so inexpensive, I'm tempted to buy another now just in case they discontinue it.

I really don't know why anyone pays for pricey brushes when the ELF studio brushes do the job quite well for a couple bucks. I picked this brush up to use for contouring and it works perfectly for the purpose. It's fluffy enough that the contour powder doesn't look like war paint/stripes but narrow enough that it doesn't go all over the place. The brush itself looks fine, the bristles are nice and soft and have the right density. Recommend it.

For blush, it is a little small in my opinion, about the size of a pot of gel eyeliner, but for bronzer it is really nice, soft and easy to get under your cheekbones to contour. Also good for contouring your nose if you flatten the bristles with your fingers.

I generally use my Elf flat top powder brush (a cult faveorite) for applying blush, but recently noticed that it smears my makeup. So off to Target I went. This costs three dollars at Target and on Elf's website, which is a steal for a makeup brush nowadays. The studio line is my favorite line of brushes ever, so I decided to try this for blush application. I really like it for blush and bronzer since it picks up the perfect amount of pruduct and doesn't smear my makeup. It washes well and hardly sheds. And come on, it's three dollars.

This brush is amazing. I use it for under eye setting and blush. It applies just the right amount. It's super soft and just dense enough. I was shocked that it worked as well as my $40 blush brush. Just a steal. It also doesn't shed!!! Yay!

Very good blush brush for the price. Soft bristles, pretty dense. It's great for applying product, but not perfect for blending, so I use my Ecotools Bronzer brush to help blend after I apply with this brush. It's still worth it, considering the low price and all, but it could be better.

Bought this for 2.65 at tjmaxx and do not regret it. It hasnt lost any hairs yet and it is super soft.It might not be like MAC brushes, but if you do not feel like spending over 20 $ on a single brush, this will do.

This is an uber-soft brush that I really enjoy using, but it's a little smaller than I like for actual blush. This is perfect for applying contour and highlighting powder. I'm not heavy-handed, so it picks up the right amount of product for me. This works as well as my expensive brushes--I wish I'd have found out about this first. The Studio Face Brush is fantastic! I've bought a back up of both this Bluch Brush and the Face Brush.

I love using the brush for my NARS blush pan. It picks up the blush really well with just one tap and applies easily across my cheeks. The bristles are soft and it doesn't fan out as much as some other blush brushes I've used, so application is controlled. I find it works much better for very pigmented blushers, though. I use this only for my NARS blush and stick to the EcoTools one for my MAC blush. For the price it's totally worth it and I'll definitely buy it again.

I really like the size and tapered cut of this blush brush for my hard pressed or more intense blushes. I just press the brush lightly into the blush and it deposits right where I want it. My other blush brushes were either too big or too small and constantly having to "fix it". I want my blush higher and more pinpointed now....as your cheeks fall a little with aging. Just a wonderful thing to look forward to :(

I like the outer plastic durable cover to keep the brush in shape and clean too. I picked it for $2.50 at big lots....a no-brainer to try something out. Will need to experiment with loose powder sometime, but I like it for the pressed intense blushes I have.

This is perfect for applying highlighter! Works great & perfect size as well. I personally would never use this for actual 'blush' because it is far too small & I have very round cheeks. If you have a smaller face, this would most likely work for you in that aspect.

I only use this blush brush when I have super pigmented blushes that aren't as buildable, mainly because this brush is not very good at picking up color. It seems like I have to apply so much more blush than I do with my Ecotools blush brush to yield any results. I have used this with the two studio elf blushes in "candid coral" and "tickled pink," and you really have to pack the blush on with this brush in order for the blush to even show. Maybe this brush would work better with super pigmented blushes that are a bit harder to work with or less buildable. The size is pretty good- Maybe a taddd too small, but I prefer that than being a tad too big. If it weren't for the fact that the brush doesn't seem to pick up that much color, it might just be perfect! Unfortunately that's sort of a big deal when applying blush- I don't want to have to stand in front of the mirror for 5 whole minutes layering blush over blush 2 billion times just to get it to show.

I'll try using this when applying my Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful and post an update. I find that blush to be extremely pigmented and not as buildable as my other blushes.

this is a wonderful brush so soft and perfect for adding a small amount of blush on the apples of the cheek..but my main use for it is to contour :) is small and the perfect size to do just that

I own the whole studio line of brushes. The blush brush is by far my second favorite blush brush (even over my Sigma brush.)

It distributes color nicely. It's soft and fluffy - but not to fluffy.

My only issue is that after a year it came loose and started to wiggle (so did my backups and other ELF brushes) - it's probably just the glue they use. But I just glued it back and it works just fine.

For the price it can't be beat! I always go back to it and always buy it again and again.

When I first got this brush (after ordering online), I was frustrated with how SMALL it looks. I figured it was a bust, and I threw it into my I-never-use-this-stuff drawer of my makeup collection. A few months ago, I started using it when I forgot my blush brush at college. I've been using it since! The biggest benefit of this brush is the precision. It doesn't slap blush all over the side of your face; instead, the blush goes exactly where you would like it to go. I prefer it over my larger blush brushes! Sorry for doubting you, ELF!
