Holds up to higher-end brands

This brush is amazing! It's a very thick and dense brush because it's made for contouring. It can create hard lines and angular shapes while still blending them well due to its shape and density of bristles. It's so soft too, and easy to hold. Also works well for applying highlighter, which I use it for often. I've tried out really high quality brushes from high end brands, and honestly, I can't tell the difference between them and this product. Save your money for the makeup and buy this brush instead of its higher end counterparts.
