I just needed a couple of eye brushes for basic looks and this one is a perfect multitasking brush. The bristles may look roughed up in the photos but they are sooooo soft on the skin and while blending. This is almost flat at the base and fluffs out at the top so it's not rounded. You can use this as a packer, applicator, crease brush, smudger brush and is amazing. Gotta thank Shreya Jain's recommendations and as per her this is also a dupe of the MAC 217 brush. Love PAC brushes.
