I am a huge blush fanatic and love to look like (as Angie says) a happy clown. But sometimes I can go overboard, and the blush takes all the focus of my makeup look. The F06 has helped me tone down my blush for those days when I want a a softer, more natural blushed look. The bristles are insanely soft, picking up just enough product to let you build it up rather than hitting you right away with pigment. I have deducted one star because it does almost require too much building with certain formulas, particularly my lighter shades of blush, so my denser brushes that help me be a happy clown work better. I will give it a hearty 4 stars because I do appreciate having a new method for blush application—especially one for those unique colors that can get overpowering if you apply to much.
