    I have three of these and I love them! They're so awsome for paints, especially pigments and even some shadows. I would totally recommend this brush. No wonder it comes with most of their brush...

    What did I ever do without this brush? Most people use it for paints. I say this is a waste! Just use a cheapie concealer brush. This is great for two things. First, it is the only brush I've found...

    I’ve been using the 242 for concealer under my eyes for a good 5 or 6 years. It’s a great brush and works as well as the day I got it, even though the print is worn off!
