I keep Sephora Collection Classic Mini Multitasker Brush #45.5 in my pocketbook at all times. It is perfect for afternoon and after work touchups. It has dense bottles and a sturdy handle.

This brush is the bomb! It can literally be used for anything and everything. I use it daily to apply my foundation, blush, highlight and setting powder. The bristles are packed nice and dense and they are so soft. A bonus? It fits perfect into your makeup bag for on the go.

I use this brush for blending, I find it gets the job done.

Lovvvvvee this little wonder. Perfect compact size, while retaining a high level of quality. Too many times have I tried a "compact" brush, only to realise that the quality is just not comparable to its bigger sister.

The brush is designed to use primarily with powders (mineral makeup/blush/powder/etc). I applied my mineral makeup using it - great results. I applied some cream blush with it - great results. I even gave it a whirl with some contouring powder and worked like a dream.

The brush bristles are synthetic, but extremely soft. Overall, it's a really great tool. I will need to try out more of Sephora's brushes if this is the norm!
