First Impression:
This is huge for a blush brush; I can only imagine getting total blush faced using this thing.
Pros:
Zero shedding…that’s right none.
The aluminum handle makes it extremely lightweight. I found that this makes it easier to work with and I tend to pay more attention to the pressure I’m using when applying blush.
Easy to clean and it dries quickly. Once I wash my brushes I use a dry cotton towel to squeeze the bristle (while holding the brush downwards) to absorb any excess water. If I was in a rush I would have been able to use this brush within a matter of minutes.
Plush soft bristles give for a nice softened diffused look, very similar to the look I achieve with the Sonia Kashuk Blusher Brush but at almost half the price.
Which brings me to the price point; you really can’t beat the price of this brush for the quality. I find it to be very affordable.
Cons:
As with most synthetic hair brushes they seem to really grab on to sebum from the skin. You may find yourself cleaning these brushes more often than the natural hair brushes you own (assuming they’re not being cleaned everyday), but since they dry in record time this should not be an issue.
It picks up product well but sometimes not enough because the bristles are too soft.
Tips and Suggestions:
Be mindful of the angel you hold the brush during your application. Being held in a vertical position can lead to a poor blush application.
Packaging and Functionality:
No issues major here, but like mentioned above, more attention could have be given to the design of the handle to really make this blush one of the best blush brushes ever.

Overall Thoughts:
Outside of a few brushes from the Target Up & Up line I generally find myself absolutely hating synthetic hair makeup brushes and brushes from the drug store. I can give you a list of drug store brand brushes that have gone back to the store, but I won’t get into that today. This brush quickly became a cult favorite yielding high positive reviews and I completely see why, and it’s become one of my top 3 favorite blush brushes. Despite achieving professional results I wouldn’t put this in my kit (if you’re wondering I keep my Sonia Kashuk Blusher Brush in my kit) because it’s bright pink. I love the bright colors but they come off being a tad juvenile. Also the bottom “no hands” portion of the brush makes it a pain to remove in and out of a brush roll. Because of the shape of the bristle I think it’s great that the brush can stand alone, I think of like it being undisturbed by the rest of my brushes. So for personal use, this is the brush to have…if you’re particular about the look of the brushes in your kit you may want to pass.
