This is the best brush ever. I received it in a swap and I am going to buy another. You could probably do your whole eye with it. It's just firm enough and although it's fluffy, you still have...

For me this was a dud! Not as great as everyone says. I get similar but better and more precise results when I use my $1 white ELF eyeshadow brush in my crease. A fluffy ELF $1 eyeshadow brush...
