The silky, densely packed bristles are attached to the brush in a way that keeps all the fibers in contact with your skin. This keeps the application -- whether you're putting on eye shadow or foundation -- from looking streaky or patchy. It also means the amount of product the brush wastes is next to nothing.
The Oval 6 brush applied my BB Cream and liquid foundation evenly, though if you want superquick results, the smaller brush head may not be for you. Because of the packed bristles, it applies a little heavier than a makeup sponge or even a flat foundation brush (and it definitely applies more evenly than the latter). But, after applying my foundation, the brush had just a miniscule amount of product left on the bristles -- I wiped it on the back of my hand and hardly anything came off.
Designed for contouring, it placed my contour shade down evenly and precisely. I blended my lines with the Oval 10 brush, a magical creation that is a wiz at blending and buffing makeup into natural-looking perfection. Compared to brushes that are fluffier, this one applies setting powder a little heavier, so use a light touch or be prepared to blend.
