I am crazy about BE but when I first got this brush, I was unhappy. It sheds and scratches too much. I bought another on ebay thinking maybe I just got a bad one (hence why I gave it a 2 since...

I have to agree with most of the reviews I've read: This brush is mediocre at best and painful at worst. I got this in the starter kit as well, and from what I've read of the reviews, it sounds...

This isn't quite as bad as the BE kabuki brush, but it's still not a great brush. It sheds all over and I feel like it doesn't evenly distribute the foundation on my face. It's pretty rough and...

Scratchy, sheds, gets stiff after washing (with BE's own brush shampoo). Does not work very well as a blush brush as the brush head is too big. Overall, since it's part of the starter kit, I didn't...

I have been using Bare Essentials make up for over a year, with a $10 Kabuki brush I got at Walgreens.. This morning before work I used my friend's Flawless Application brush, and was amazed at the...

This is probably the worst brush I have ever used. It's very poor quality. It becomes very scratchy and actually started to hurt my face! It also sheds like mad and my handle broke off very...

I got this brush as part of the Starter kit for BE. Sadly, the brush is so bad it warrants its own review. As other reviews have noted - it is scratchy and sheds. A lot. I had a hard time...

I got this in my BE Starter Kit, and I have to say that I hate this brush. Though it did get the job done for buffing my makeup, the brush just irritated my skin with its scratchy bristles. Makeup...

Even though this brush applies well, it just absolutely hurts and sheds way too much.

It does give a good coverage, but it just feels scratchy. I feel like I'm scrubbing my face everytime I buff my minerals on.

The only thing i like about this brush, is the size. I honestly do not have the shedding problem with this brush. But none the less, this brush is scratchy and uncomfortable to use. It also has...

I actually really like this brush! It's pretty soft, and applies the Mineral Veil and Warmth I use with ease. It has good coverage and is very easy to use. Unfortunately some of the hairs are...

These are great brushes. I have had mine for over 4 years, and have used them almost every day since then, and they have stood the test of time. I have washed them several times, and they still...

i use this brush for the all over face colors, blush, and the mineral veil, and in that capacity, its a pretty good brush. i love the shape of it-its like a cross between a denser kabuki and a less...

This brush is horrible. After a couple years, the one that came with my kit looked raggedy, shed like crazy, and was scratchy. So during a recent trip into my local boutique I decided to try a...

Personally, I like this brush. It honestly was pretty cruddy at first. It had to be "broken in" I guess. I wash it about once a week with pureology, and lay it out to dry. I find that it is very...

Sheds constantly. This is really a poor product. If you get the starter kit, plan on investing in new brushes by someone else right away!
