I spent $20+ on one brush ~ which is a lot of money for a brush to me. I am strictly an e.l.f. or Eco Tools brush girl, and do not feel the need to have expensive brushes. I like that I can refresh (throw away) my e.l.f. eye brushes without worrying about the cost. I've been looking for a decent blush brush forever (never mind that I own four or five and don't like any of them), and I was disappointed when I received this brush. It resembles the e.l.f. bronzer brush in size, which means it's very small. The brush works best to contour and shape, and that's about it. I do not like to use this on the apples of my cheeks ~ the shape does not work on your apples. I will find use for this, but I will not buy this product again...
