I loved this brush! It is one of the best drugstore brushes I have tried! I wish Physicians Formula would come out with a whole line of brushes. The bristles are very soft and dense for great mineral and pressed powder application. There is also no shedding since the bristles are connected in so deep.(I have found this with many drugstore and high end brushes.) The only con about this is that it is not great for traveling because of its size.
