I really like this brush and when I bought it I really didn't even know why! But I have found it's useful for sweeping away excess powder or blush without taking too much off. I like it for MSF's sometimes, I'll use my 187 for those, and then maybe just go over it once again with this very lightly. It gives a very soft subtle look for MSF's like Stereo Rose that , on me, even with my 187, apply a little too pigmented still. It's nice too, after you do a sparkly eyeshadow to dust the little bits under your eye away without messing anything up.
