This brush is alright, but in no way essential. I don't understand how anyone would successfully blend their eyeshadow with it, though; it's way too short-bristled and dense for that in my opinion....

This product is so soft. I normally buy brushes from elf because of the good prices ($1-$6 typically!). They are so soft, and I have never experienced any shedding for any of the brushes.

My kid absconded with my MAC 217 (I own 2 - but it still pissed me off!) so I got one of these for $2.00 at target - and it is no way like the 217 but it's a great and CHEAP shadow brush.Dense...

This has become one of the brushes in my daily rotation. It is a very good, especially for the price. I use it for packing in shadow on my lid and very light blending, this is because the bristles...

I'm going to be honest: I don't like synthetic eyeshadow brushes, and this one is. Because it's synthetic, it doesn't hold much color, so I gave up on using it to apply eyeshadow. But I've been...

I love this little brush for eyeshadow application. It's a rather firm brush so it makes application super easy and precise, In addition, it's dirt cheap, doesn't shed and is easy to clean. It's...

This is my favorite brush of any one I own. The quality is excellent. I like it so much that I bought a second one. It picks up eyeshadow and packs it on well, minimizes fallout, and looks really...

Not a fan. I feel like it picks up eye shadow pretty well but can not pack it on the lid. I got rid of it.

Another great brush by ELF. No reason to spend more this does the job. Soft and no shedding. I haven't had to replace any yet.

Love this brush. I don't wear makeup every day, but when I do, I usually use this brush for eyeshadow. It's soft and doesn't shed, and just works perfectly. It bums me out when I look at all my MAC...

I went on a brush haul recently and this is one of the bushes I got. Like everyone is saying, it's a bit larger and densely packed. It also has a longer handle than many other shadow brushes. I...

This is an awesome brush for a wash of shadow over entire lid...densely packed yet soft bristles. This brush is perfect for my smallish lids that can't handle a lot of contouring and...

When I bought this brush (at Dollar Tree) I wasn't sure what I would do with it. However, I've found it to be useful for packing on eyeshadow, doing fine contouring work (think bridge and sides of...

Yet another terrible brush from ELF. The C brush has short densely packed bristles that are so rough and sharp it's painful to use. It picks up tons of shadow but most of the shadow gets trapped...
