This brush is perfect for application of contouring powder around the face (with the exception of the nose). It's vertically sleek, which allows precision, but the fibres allow for quick and simple blending. I'm not sure if this would work so well with blush, because this brush is quite dense, meaning a lot of color can be packed on pretty easily. Typically, blush would be more settle than contouring, so I think it'd be sort of a hassle to apply blush with this.
After constant cleansing for a few months, this brush hasn't lost its shape or become withered. This brush is nearly $40, but it has good reason for being so. I would recommend anyone to put out some money for this, its application is something pretty spectacular.

NYX Matte Bronzer: Review + Swatches
NYX has released their matte-finish bronzers that come in the shades Light, Deep, Deep Tan, Dark Tan, and Medium. I own the shade in medium, which is a golden brown a few shades deeper than my skin tone.
These bronzers have an excellent pigmentation, and give off a lot of color with a light swipe. This product has a very lightweight, finely-milled texture and finish. It also has an extremely versatile blendability, meaning you won't get any solid or harsh lines on your face. The texture is also incredibly smooth, and in result it applies very evenly.
Because of its light and soft texture, I thought that this would've worn off easily after about 4 hours. It's a very longwear bronzer, lasting about eight hours before slightly fading. Even in that circumstance, it's easy to touch-up and apply a little more without the bronzer looking like it's been unnaturally layered.
This does not accentuate pores or dryness. I would say this is very appropriate for people with oily skin as well because of its matte finish. I would say this product has a texture similar to Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Powder (I don't own it, but have experienced it at a Chanel counter). I would definitely repurchase this, and for under $10 you can't go wrong.
