A brush whose base is slightly flared to allow to ask the "right" (me it does not serve me, except to take a little more room in my pot ...) The brush itself (synthetic fibers and therefore no cruelty to animals), is about the diameter of a 1 euro coin (2 may be) .. The hair is a little "stiff" relatively thick for a "duo-fiber" ... It's still sweet .. I use it sometimes for foundations even if it is not my favorite for it .. The application is a bit laborious but it gives a slightly more natural than others who do not have the hair "broke" I think ... (edit: according fdt (thick and must spread quickly) the brush is not ok and that traces hard to make them disappear.) I prefer some blushes creams: nice result by lightly tapping ... (Very makeup for both powdered cheeks ..) Have to watch anyway because according to the used blush, brush quite catch product and is not stingy to deposit on the cheeks ... I wash after each use if I use a cream product (and if not once a week), I'm lucky he did not lose his hair and remains ok ... Not super fast drying, not the cat either ... A good brush ... and a great brand!
