I am NOT fond of this brush. (Sorry for the "shouting" capitals; I wish they had underline or italics or bold or something.)
My problem with this brush is, because it is so stiff and the bristles (I guess they are more properly called "hairs", but you'll see why I say "bristles") are trimmed to such a thin taper, that if you get the top of the brush aimed into your eyelid skin at all, you'll feel the hairs/bristles poking. At least I do. A bit "Ow!" Too delicate an area for pokes from my makeup tools.
I think its two main uses are better served by other brushes.
You can get at least as good, opaque coverage with the Contour Shadow brush, the Wet/Dry brush, the Eye Defining brush, the Crease Defining brush, and probably some of the others I don't have, like the Flathead brushes, the Heavenly Shadow brush and even the straight-edged Precision Eyeliner brush, which look like they are softer, but just as "strong" for patting on a nice layer of shadow.
And while the taper takes the end of this brush to a nice thin point, you can get a better "line" on your lid edges with the actual eye liner brushes (straight or angled, thin or flat/"paddle" style). The Heavenly Liner Blending brush is great for a slightly thicker eye lining, like this Tapered brush, but, again, is soft.
And the Double-Ended Precision brush does both.
So I'm not so sure I see the point of this brush. But I sure do feel it!
