This is a new Kashuk Tools brush from Target (the ones with the black contoured handles). It has a dense, synthetic flat brush head that's around 3/4" in diameter. I use it to apply creme blushes and it's fantastic. I just tap the brush against the creme until I have a light layer on the brush, then stipple it on the apples of my cheeks. Then I just buff it in for a very natural look. Prior to this brush I used my MAC 187 SE for creme blushes and I prefer the results I get with this one.
