The whole set of elf brushes in the white handles are very disappointing. I think thats why they are so cheap for the price that elf is trying to get rid of them. They shed easily, they are very scratchy and they don't pick up the right amount of product. They either pick up too little or too much.
When washing them, they shed like crazy. The studio version of elf is much better which are the ones with the black handles. You should probably skip on these if you're needing new brushes and spend an extra few dollars for something better quality that will last you longer.
This brush was super cheap but I still don't think it is worth getting. The bristles aren't the softest and I find it doesn't really apply product that well to the skin. It is not as dense or stiff as I think it needs to be, so I don't think it will last that long with washing regularly as it is not good quality. It applies highlighter okay, but I have other brushes I much prefer and this just sits in my brush holder untouched most of the time. I have brushes from the studio line from elf which I love so was hoping this would be just as good, but unfortunately it isn't. I wouldn't recommend this to others, there are far better options out there.
