This is a very soft, flat (thinned to the tip), eyeshadow brush. It is best used for applying a base colour to the lid due to its shape (it does not work for blending or the crease because it is too flexible). It is great for packing on colour to the lid due to it's flatness. Due to the thinness of the edge it could also be used to apply eyeshadow under the eye with a precision line.
