This brush is super soft and very dense. The slightly dome shape is great for buffering. I mainly use this brush to buffer out my foundation after i've applied it or to blend out blush/bronzers. It does a really good job diffusing the colour and buffing out any harsh lines or unevenness. Although this brush does a great job, I don't always need to buff out my foundation or cheek colour so i don't grab for it as much. If you are looking for a good buffer brush on a budget, this is a good candidate
