Some people use big fluffy brushes, or flat contour brushes, but I use this e.l.f. brush to blend out my contour and bronzer. This brush is small and domed shape with the tip of the brush being the longest so it allows for more accurate application. The brush helps to blend out the products effortlessly for a very natural look and it doesn't pick up too much product at a time. If I'm in a rush and can't find any other of my brushes I use this to apply blush and setting powder under the eyes (something I do sparingly). I usually use powder contour and bronzer but I have tried this brush with cream blush and it worked really well too.
