I love the ease of this brush. It’s large soze makes putting on foundation a quick process. With a light hand, I have found there is no streaking. I have had not problems with the brush shedding. I have not only used it with regular foundation, but also with alcohol based makeup and to put on masks.
Late to the wonders of cosmetics, using drugstore sponge applicators tucked into little eyeshadows til my mid 40s, my first cosmetic brushes were Bobbi Brown cream blender & bronzer brushes. 15 years, still going strong! Lucky enough to also try NARS, Clarins, Smashbox, Dior, Chanel, Pixie, e.l.f, Sonia Kashuk from Target ... you get it, I'm not a snob, just looking for the best artist tools for my stylist's morning art project, ha ha. Don't understand the MAC brush hype - the handle paint starts flaking off after about 10 cleansings & then starts splintering; the ferrules lose the handle & need reglued if I decide to even keep them. I know how to take care of brushes. Was flipping houses before it was thing & keeping my Purdy paintbrushes clean. MAC brushes aren't worth the price! NARS is my fave brand if I can spend, otherwise e.l.f.
