First off this brush looks very pretty as it has white and pink bristles. I am a sucker for pretty products, so it didn't take a lot for me to buy this. The brush is super soft and feels incredible against your face. But all that means nothing if the brush doesn't do it's intended job. I have never used a R400 brush, so I can't compare the quality of the brush, but for me it seems to do the job. I am using it with my Essence blush that I reviewed a while ago. And together they work well.

It isn't a super dense brush, so it moves nicely and shapes to your face as you apply your blush or powder. it was also fairly easy to clean and I haven't experienced any shedding yet. For R40 it's definitely worth it if you need a new inexpensive brush.
