Overall, this is a pretty nice brush that produces a natural, smooth application (for reference, I've used this to apply NARS blush on my cheeks and MAC mineral powder all over my face). However, I was pretty disappointed to find that even with proper use and care, it begins to shed fairly quickly. The shedding isn't extreme, but it's certainly annoying and obviously the brush isn't going to be as long-lasting as I would've expected because of this issue. To me, much of the point of buying a nicer brush is to avoid this kind of thing, so this product is a bit of a letdown. The brush is good enough that I've been willing to continue using it instead of spending money on a new one, but once I'm able to get another or it falls apart enough that I'm forced to, I'll be looking to a different brand.
