Totally love this! Super easy to sharpen. It comes with a sharpener in the box. I bought deep aubergine... gorgeous on my brown eyes. Stays put with my Mac paint pot. It's $30, but really striking color that goes on like butter!

I think this product doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm always looking for a product to conceal my genetic dark circles and brighten the under eye area. For me, many concealers are a complete miss, either not covering enough, looking heavy or cakey, or looking unnatural. I have this in the pink shade, which is a cool pink with the tiniest hint of peach. It works for my NW20 skin and it provides a luminous, brightening effect and actually does cover my circles (unless I'm having a really bad day with them). Unlike some brighteners, which need to be topped with a concealer, I use this one on its own without even setting with a powder. It dries down to a slightly powdery finish, not wet or greasy. The two shades for this product are quite light, such that someone with darker skin may not be able to find a match, unfortunately. However if you can find a match and struggle with dark circles I think it's a great product.

I love this ~ Please do not ever discontinue this ~ This is an excellent product ~ !!!

Could barely get this to work for me. I picked color 1.5 from HSN's limited stock and because they were out of 1. This is a super dark color that to get it to work I had to throw a lot of white sunscreens at it. It goes on with a matte finish that reminds me of Bareminerals BB cream--also very dark-in the light and medium colors. For the price I was expecting something great and it's just very average. Too bad about the colors, there are only 4 and this has a finish that would require a close match.

This brush is pricey at almost $100, but it's a HG staple for me. I thought long and hard about buying this because of the price, but I wanted something soft and fluffy to apply face powders and have had great experiences with other TM brushes.

This is, hands-down, the best for applying power foundations and blending transleucent powder. It's soft, yet picks up plenty of product, and gives an even layer of powder. I've tried lesser brushes and either didn't get any powder on my face (because it wouldn't come off of the brush) or I've had to spend extra time blending product so my m/u didn't look blotchy and uneven. This gives me quick and even coverage (usually I wear MAC Skinfinish Natural or Laura Mercier Transleucent powder).

I've had this for about 5 years now and despite regular washings, it doesn't shed and hasn't lost any of its softness. This gets daily use and has held up beautifully. Yes, it's expensive, and there are so many other brushes out there, but nothing I've found has come close to the softness and durability of this one.
