I got the Small Crease brush. I have really small, really hooded eyes. I like smaller brushes, and this seemed like it would work great! This comes in an outer product box. It is made in China. It says it is not tested on animals, but doesnt have any certified logo. Inside, the brush is in a plastic sleeve. This brush is HEAVY! The handle and ferrule are silver. I honestly cant believe how heavy this small brush is! Its crazy! It has a weighted handle. I usually really like weighted handles, they give you more control. But, this is weighted totally wrong in my opinion. The weighted part is far too long. Its half of the handle. Instead of just the end. It makes it so you have to hold it in just the right spot to get the effect a weighted handle should give. You should be able to do it better. It makes it super annoying. The hairs are extremely soft. I didnt have any shedding. They seem to be cut evenly. Like I said, I got the Small Crease brush. Its a kind of pencil brush style. It is rounded. So, it works well to pack color on, but will also work to do precise blending in specific areas. With my really small, really hooded eyes, I love that! It also works to apply shadow on the lower lash or smudge liner out. Id love this brush if it was weighted properly. I have tons of makeup brushes and so few with weighted handles. I like the control a properly weighted handle gives. But, this one is weighted so weird with way too much of the handle weighted, it actually gives less control. So, its not for me. Its a nice brush otherwise. But, at $20 for a single brush like this, it would only be worth it in my opinion if it was weighted properly. Since its not, I cant recommend it.
