Sometimes with shimmers or duochromes you simply just get better, bolder coverage using your finger than using a brush. It's fact. However your finger has oils and such and it often leads to stuff like hard pan and it's just also not super sanitary. Thus what I bought and use this for, it makes a wonderful replacement for my fingers in the routine of doing my eye makeup. Picks up products without gouging too, which my nails sometimes slipped and did. Well done.
I gave this a lower score cuz if you don't have enough cream or lotion on, it can really stick to your face.
