Used for lashes & brows—has the right amount bristles (not short stubby) without being stiff, scratchy (compared to another very popular brow brand). Love MAC brushes for durability, quality, length/size of handles BUT NARS, Chanel, Cle, other premium brush equivalents (in cost too), all provide bristle protection caps/covers & are packaged in boxes. A flimsy UNsealed plastic wrap is a big MAC—NO!
