I recently purchased some cream eyeshadows and used either my finger or another blending brush to apply the shadows, which worked pretty good. I saw this little brush and figured I'd give it a try since it was affordable and I wanted to see if this brush applied the product any better. I received this brush quite quickly and nicely packaged. This brush works so much better than my other blending brush and finger! I didn't realize how much of a difference it made but it's so much easier and blends my cream shadows so smoothly. I am in love with this little brush! Don't ever get rid of this Nikkia!
