The brush handle and feature are exactly as my previous Velvet Luxe brush reviews. You can find those linked in the brush category on the blog's sidebar. The fan section is an impressive size, about three inches in width, the bristles are firmly packed/dense -- yet super soft! -- and when used vertically, contouring is made easy. As with the other luxe brushes, it has a gorgeous Swarovski crystal on the handle's tip. I use it for a quick all over sweep on my face and on the shoulders or arms for when applying shimmer powder. I definitely recommend it as a splurge buy!
