Considering that it is marketed for use under the eyes for creams, moisturizers or concealers, I thought it would be much softer. The bristles are very densely packed which makes the whole brush feel very stiff. There's very little flexibility or give to them. Most other concealer brushes I have are flat so the bristles as a whole have some flexibility and give when using the broad side. This one has a completely round ferule so the bristles have the same stiffness no matter what direction you turn it. This also causes a somewhat streaky application with concealer (which is what I bought it for) and I ended up with brush strokes that I had to pat out with my finger (which sort of defeats the purpose of buying the brush). I suppose it might work using a different concealer, but since it's really too firm a brush to begin with, I'm not going to hang onto it to find out.Tulip Crusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864232885673223071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-4216478726414671512015-02-14T07:36:55.624-08:002015-02-14T07:36:55.624-08:00Kelly, that is an amazing way to go about drying b...Kelly, that is an amazing way to go about drying brushes! I like to dry mine upsidedown too, but what I usually do is take a cardboard box (get them for free at BJ's to bring groceries home) and punch out holes to stick the handles through so they hang brush facing down. It works, but it doesn't look nice. Thanks for sharing. G., I'm so curious about another brush from this particular line from ecotools...I saw in the latest People Style Watch (Kate Hudson on cover) that there is a face brush with the name mattifying in it?? Something about the bristle lengths is supposed to be compatable with mattifying powders, not sure yet but interesting...BubblegumBengalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352686099514752202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-11610313176410428982015-02-13T08:06:24.962-08:002015-02-13T08:06:24.962-08:00Looks like a great brush!

It's also really great to find a good brush to blend in my weird acne scar areas... years ago I used a Mac 217 but always felt it would look streaky So I gave up and now I tend to just use a foundation brush for those areas too. I don't get to Walmart much but will add this to my list... I usually get so gaga over Flower makeup and hard candy and forget to check out anything else!YakkoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741728653710084590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-45896293074329613072015-02-12T23:21:03.080-08:002015-02-12T23:21:03.080-08:00Wow!!!

The only time I've gotten some makeup residue is with the elf stipple brushes and then I just have to repeat and they come out clean. Off topic, but a fantastic way To dry your brushes is with the small clothes drying rack with clips from Target for around $10. It has a coat hanger like hook that I hook on my shower basket. Then as I wash my brushes, I clip them - handle up. Any excess water hits the tub and the brushes dry quickly and more hygenic as air can circulate around them. My brushes last forever as well.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494658036247395749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-19459997055477305452015-02-12T19:53:58.469-08:002015-02-12T19:53:58.469-08:00This does look like a great brush for blending Col...This does look like a great brush for blending Color Tattoos and/or cream eyeshadows. Not sure I would use it for concealer, but I might check it out for eyeshadow use. $4.99 is a great price too.
