The face blush brush that I bought is a natural brush that retails for R319. That is the most I have ever paid for a make up brush but I wear blush often and thought I'd treat myself to something decent. The bristles are super soft and pick up the blush powder effortlessly. When brushed across my cheeks the powder transferred easily, hardly leaving any product on the brush. The handle is made of wood and the bristles are goat hair (Honestly, I wasn't too thrilled when I found this out after I had made the purchased and already used the brush). I haven't experienced any shedding from the brush and it's been easy to keep clean. It is rather pricey but I can see this brush lasting me a few good years before needing to be replaced so I think it's money well spent.
