I got this brush to apply gel eyeliner after reading the great reviews and I found it to be completely useless!!! I like a really thin line/wing, but the bristles on this brush are too thick and not at all firm enough to accomplish that. You basically have no choice but to draw a fairly thick line, and getting a really fine-pointed tapered wing was pretty much impossible with this brush in my experience; it's just too soft and it didn't seem to allow for much precision at all. Ended up throwing it in the trash in a fit of frustration!! I kind of wish I had kept it because it might work for applying liner/shadow to the lower lash line or as a brow brush, but I got it for thin winged eyeliner and it was a total failure in that department. I have quite a few E.L.F. brushes and I usually love them, but this was a disappointment for me.
