I find it in a lot of professional make up kits, but is it really useful?

I know its used for contouring and brushing off excess powder... but how often do you ladies use it?

and is a thicker fan brush better than a dense one?

[Gavriela]

I like fan brushes that aren't dense - really good for blush, finishing powder, bronzer, glow powders, anything that needs a light hand for application. Fan brushes can't be beat in my book.

They're meant to be good for deeply pigmented blushes so I should imagine they're pretty good for mmu blushes. I don't have one though.

I never really use it unless I have a lot of e/s spillage! The tutor on my make up course had a fat one though, for powder. It was awesome, but I can't find anything similar!

i use it for very pigmented blush

this thread is so helpful. i actually have a fan brush (came in a kit) but i have noooo idea what it's for!

[Cheryl T]

I believe it's designed for blushes primarily, but it works wonderfully with translucent powders too...

I use it for bronzer. It give less coverage than a powder/kabuki brush, so it's perfect for the job

Same here! I didn't want to buy before because I have no idea what it's for.

I have one from sephora that is nice, it's not too dense. It's actually the first brush I could get mineral blush to look right on me, everything else looked too heavy. I also sometimes use it to sweep on my mineral veil lightly.

[Ode to Joy]

how do you use it to apply blush and powder? would anyone be kind enough to explain?!

[MissPout]

Nice! Now i know for what it is
