    I use this brush a lot. The shape is good for contouring cheekbones and the firm white goat hair bristles can be used with cream products as well as powders. Because the bristles are white, I...

    I put off buying this brush for YEARS. I got the Makeup Geek versions of this and used them for a long long time. But I eventually moved on to different brushes and they were kind of floppy and...

    Best brush for contour. For a long time, I was having a really hard time finding a contour brush that I love and can't not use. I was constantly replacing/exchanging the ones I was buying because...

    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...

    The #168 brush is hands down my favorite "face" brush. I'm one who doesn't mind spending money on good quality brushes and this brush is worth every penny. Great for contouring , all over bronzing...

    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...

    This brush sucks so bad! The bristles are too densely packed so when I use it to apply blushes it just plops the color down in one spot which I can't blend to save my life. I have a Trish McEvoy...

    This is a workhorse of a brush. I love the size and shape of it because it makes it very versatile. Its small enough to apply blush pretty precisely, and soft/fluffy enough to blend it out. Same...
