    I have a very mixed opinion about this brush. Picked this up after returning my 163 brush whose metal edges scratch my face while contouring. And I've heard several people recommending this shape...

    I actually bought another one of these brushes just so that I wouldn't be without it... EVER. I love using this in the hollow of my cheeks to get that contoured, sculpted look. I find MAC's...

    Update: As excited as I was for this brush, within a few weeks I found the application to be patchy, streaky, and inconsistent. Funny enough, I purchased the #116 - I got a great one and am much...
