I love this brush so much that I own 2 of them. I use them both daily for packing on eye shadow - one brush for light colors and one brush for dark colors. They do a beautiful job. With regular cleaning I expect them to last a long time.
I consider this brush the quintessential eye brush and have recommended it numerous times over the years. Whether you are a makeup fanatic or a first timer this brush is a worthy addition to your toolbox. The large shape allows you to apply color to larger areas quickly and evenly and you can use it at different angles to apply more precisely. It is dense and firm yet soft enough to diffuse and blend out harsh lines.It can be used with powder or cream shadows, and even to apply and blend shadow primer. Like most MAC brushes, this brush will stand the test of time and last for years with proper care and cleaning.
