In My Profession I have used Many Makeup Brushes from High End to Middle of the Road. For me the @anastasiabeverlyhills #ProLinerBrush3 is the ONLY Liner Brush I will use, Profesionally and on myself as well. I find this Liner Brush to be Very Beginner Friendly, especially for those who are just starting out learning how to achieve the Winged Liner. As with this Liner Brush you can use the SIDE of the Brush or the TIP of the Brush for Application because of its Diamond Head Structure. The Bristles of this Brush are Extremely Sturdy Yet Flexible Enough So You get the Best of Both with this Brush. Also with Taking Good Care of your Brush and Cleaning it after Every Use there is No Reason why this Brush will Not Last Years.
