Elf website describes it as:

This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush!
-Creates a professional sculpted look
-Full coverage color
-Use for powder or blush for perfect contouring
*Vegan Friendly

Pros:

  • Cheap. Got it for Php 330 (including shipping) from an online seller. It retails for Php 250 in local Elf counters
  • Versatile. It can be used to buff powder for a flawless finish or to apply foundation for an airbrush finish


Cons:

  • Unstable handle. Mine was wobbly. I had to literally remove the handle from the ferrule and re-attach it to make it more stable.
  • The overall diameter of the bristles may be too wide for liquid foundation application.


Is it needed or nice to have?

I personally think it’s nice to have; but if you are a powder junkie, this is a must


Will I repurchase?

No. I have my eyes on Sigma F80
