    I got this new in a swap. I love this brush for blending my contour and blush together. I tried using my 182 and other kabuki brushes but I got much better results with this since it's small. I'm...

    I purchased this as part of the Sweet Tease Look in a Box, and it's perfect for buffing on the Shell Pearl beauty powder for a perfect summer glow. I loooove the texture of this brush!

    I mostly take this brush with me when I'm traveling or if I go out and don't want take a full size brush. It's nice and dense which makes it easy to apply and blend pressed powder foundation. It's...

    Honestly, I love this brush. It applies my mineralize skinfinishes/ blushes evenly and easily sheers out the colour (I like the subtle blush look). I like how it's small and fits perfectly on the...

    I've had this brush for two months now. I like the way it feels dense but still soft and how I can use it for smaller and larger areas at the same time. However, I've had some problems with...

    This brush is soft, and gives amazing coverage with mineral primer powders (silica/boron nitride/kaolin) and mineral foundation. I have not tried to contour with it because I have the 138 for...

    I got this in the 2008 holiday set, so I am reviewing the SE brush. I simply adore this brush. It's the perfect size, it doesn't shed, and it's sturdy and works hard at its job! I use this most...
