After wetting the brush it is perfect. The fact that the case is attached makes this an awesome item.Great for travelling, who knows what lurks on hotel’s floors I bough 2 ! Highly recommended.It’s pretty legit sometimes the product cakes in there too much and the precision isn’t the best but the dual sides is super convenientThis lip brush is a handy tool that makes precise lipstick and lip gloss application very easy. The bristles are soft and seem to be of good quality. Using this brush gives my lips better definition and fills them more evenly with coIor in comparison to applying lip color without it. I bought this brush for my my home made lip products which I store in tins. The brush easily tucks away in my purse. I am happy with this purchase and don't know how I have lived without a lip brush for so many years.Loved this product. I was worried that I would not find a lip brush that I would like as much as my other one ...... this was better !The closing mechanism is retractable and this is what sold me on the product. The brush is firm and pointed and could be a little wider and more flexible, but is not a negative. Great price.This retractable brush works well and has a quality brush. I would certainly recommend this lip brush.Been trying to buy something like this at local stores with no luck. Was so glad I found this on Amazon. It works just like I wanted it to. Really works great for me. Just follow the directions of wetting the brush with water when you receive it to loosen the brush before you use it the first time. I just love it.
