    This brush does justice with mineralized skinfinishes! A few buffs and it blends beautifully. I use this brush everyday with my powders. If you have any mineralized skinfinishes or loose mineral...

    I bought this brush off eBay and totally love it. It is so much softer than my previous kabuki brush. Some people have complained about shedding but I have not experienced it.

    I agree with deesizzle. This brush sheds worse than my cat, FiFi. I spend more time picking little black hairs off of my face than I do actually blending. I could probably just use FiFi's butt...

    I've had this brush for almost 2 months now and although it's great at application and very soft, it still sheds!! It's really annoying having to pick all these (maybe 3-7) little broken black...

    Expensive, dense, very soft, but I avoid using it because it sheds like a b*tch.

    Let me just start off by saying the price is INSANE. I've never spent $48 on one single makeup item. Besides the price, though, it is really nice. It makes my EM foundation go on much easier, look...

    I wish I could give the 182 a perfect 5 lippies, however, it sheds far too much. Every single time I use or wash it, it sheds between 3-5 hairs each time and I've owned it for a year if not...
