This is the first brush i ever owned and my collection has grown since then! This brand of brushes is comparable with Bobbi Brown and MAC and whilst it is reasonably pricey its not nearly as expensive! Ive had mine for three years: it doesn't shed! Is soft on the skin! Can be washed with baby shampoo or your facial cleanser ! Can stand on its base ! And is perfect for the application of bronzer or all over face powder! Ive since purchased a kabuki brush for use with loose powder but once you get the hang of brushes you will kiss powder puffs and sponge applicators as well as all the bacteria they accumulate goodbye!

I love this brush. It is very soft and gentle. The quality is great and it doesn't shed at all. Very easy to wash too.

I mainly use this brush for applying my Physician's formula mineral powder. It picks up lots of powder and distributes it lightly over the face. However, it is not a brush you can buff the powder in with. Because of it's shape you can only swipe it on with the side of the brush but not the top. It makes it a bit more limited in use but it is still great. I have also used it for blush but it only works with soft blushes otherwise it won't pick up much colour. The handle of the brush is very sturdy and the brush can stand upright on the handle which saves space on my overcrowded dresser table :-)

I love The Body Shop Face/Body Brush! It is super soft even thought the bristles are synthetic and not natural. The bristles do not shed while you use it or even when you wash it and it is really easy to clean. I use this brush primarily to apply bronzer on my face and it works really well with my Benefit Hoola bronzer. It is the perfect size and shape to apply bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks and along the hairline. I love that the shape of the brush is broader on the one side and skinnier on the other, it makes it so much versatile and easy to apply makeup.
