Bristles didn't shed, it packs color well especially when dampened, and it's cheap. Not too rough on the eyes, easy to clean and hold. A straightforward budget brush, nothing much else to say.

It's incredibly cheap (as is, and for a brush) and it works great. What more could you ask for?

I love these just for packing eye shadow on the lid, I have a bunch of them and since they are so cheap I don't mind the lower quality for a brush that still gets the job done.

This is a bargain at a buck. It's not the softest brush I own but I've had scratchier ones. I have yet to have it shed on me too, unlike some other just as cheap ELF travel brushes I owned. I find...

So cheap, works great. So unlike the total face brush, which sheds a lot and isn't the best brush. I love this and will definetly buy backups!

This is the best brush for packing on lid color. It's so cheap and doesn't shed and picks up color really pigmented because it's a natural hair brush. Definitely recommend, especially with shimmer...

My kid absconded with my MAC 217 (I own 2 - but it still pissed me off!) so I got one of these for $2.00 at target - and it is no way like the 217 but it's a great and CHEAP shadow brush. Soft...

This is my favorite brush for packing in shadow on my lid. The fact that the bristles are not long and the way they are cut, it is wonderful for packing color; they also are not stiff, so you won’t...

For a $1 it's definitely worth it. I have this bad habit of constantly losing brushes. No clue where they go to but I feel the need to take my whole makeup bag every place I go. Definitely worth...

One of my favorite brushes. very soft, picks up TONS of color, and is firm enough to pat on eyeshadow or brush on for lighter look.

I can't believe how great this brush is and only $1. The hairs are tightly packed together and cut just perfect making it dense but not so stiff that it scratches the skin. It holds a huge amount...

I have had this brush for at least 4.5 years and honestly, it's one of my favourite brushes. I used to use it for blending shadow into my crease and creating the v-shape but now i use it to pack on...

I like this brush, I brought mine two years ago. Over time some of the bristle will start falling out, but it's really cheap so this is great for people on a budget. Good for applying eye shadows...

This brush is a really good buy. The short shape is really nice for creasework and lining my lower lids, it washes well, and it was SO cheap!

This is an okay brush, but still have a little bit of a hard time understanding why people love it as much as they do. It's really thin and flat, which is great for when I want some precision. That...

For being so cheap this brush works wonders. The formula sticks to the bristles and glides onto my eyelid without hastle. I can even buff out area because the brush has a slight angle.

I like this brush. It concentrates my eye shadow nicely. The shape can make the application a little messy especially with loose shadows but that's what q-tips are for!!
