This brush is very different. I have this brush and the Naked palette and they serve very different purposes. But the brush that comes with the naked palette works great with the set so unless you want an extra brush for fun I wouldn't recommend it :)

No, this brush isn't like the brush in either Naked palette, so if you are worried about duplicating brushes, you won't. The shape is completely different. The Naked brush is flatter, this is rounder. It is similar in that it's synthetic and animal-friendly. I originally bought this because I couldn't find a synthetic, animal-friendly crease brush and had been using this for that until Naked 2 came along with an excellent crease brush. So I've used this for the crease, outer corner, blending, and adding or smudging color under my lower lash line. Have gotten a lot of use out of it.

I actually use this brush in lieu of the brush that comes with Naked. However, the brush that comes with Naked 2, I use daily, as well, since it is double sided with a crease brush. I would highly recommend buying this blending brush, as it is much easier to use for tighter areas and once tapping the excess make up off, you have a smoother, less messy application.

In my opinion yes. The only other brushes I use is M A C. Shaping of the eyeshadow brush in Naked palette and Naked 2 is pretty much the same. However Naked 2 crease brush has more of a contoured or rounded bristle head and perhaps a little more full so it will get in the crease nice and neat!

TOTALLY different that the brush in the Naked palette. The brush in the palette is simply a dense shadow brush- it's flat and wide. This brush is dome shaped and densely packed so it smudges eyeliner perfectly. You can sweep it a few times over a liner to just lighten and blend the line for day use, or put extra layers of liner on and build smudginess for a smoky night eye. Love the brush- use it every day.

If you are planning on using the pencil alone for your lid, there is no reason to purchase this brush. The pencil glides on smooth and creamy. If you plan on using the pencil in conjunction with shadows, then yes, get this brush.

I'd say if you're covering the whole eyelid you don't need this brush. It's more to blend an eyeliner for a smokey look or less severe line.

You don't NEED the brush; you can use your finger. BUT the brush does blends quickly and well and these shadow pencils dry VERY fast. I recommend the brush.

for the shadow pencils no way do u need a brush i just put it on..and if i need to rub it use my finger but you can always use one if u want but u dont need this brush just becuase it helps you can easily find a $5 brush at a drug ot grocrey store but its really your choice..u might want a brush if you like the more blended look..=)

I find that the shadow needs a little blending to even it out a bit. The shadow is highly pigmented, and I think it looks a bit smoother with the brush. I would try without first and maybe blend with your finger. I however have been looking for a brush like this for a while. I saw it at a Sephora store, and tried it out. I loved it right away.

This one is very soft, that's why I loved it right away!

This brush is not scratchy at all, very soft!

thisw isent exacly like it the 219 is more narrow and for liner this is mors for loose eyeshadow...but this is one of the softest brushes ive felt! 5 stars on softness!!

This brush is not scratchy at all. I tried it out at the store along with other similar brushes. I liked this one the best, for sure.

Hi,
This brush is nothing like the brush in the Naked Palette.

I recommend this brush for blending and as a crease brush. I couldn't find a synthetic, animal-friendly crease brush. I tried this and have been using it since. Also good for blending color around the outer corner and have also used it to dab/smudge color under my lower lashline. If you're referring to Naked rather than Naked 2, go ahead and grab this. However, if you get Naked 2, it already comes with a double-ended brush, one end of which is for the crease and is excellent.

Well when I looked at the Naked Palette the brush that comes with it is an eyeshadow brush, which is a less firm or stiff, more flexibility to the bristle. To me the blending brush is stiffer but still soft on the eye.

For quick cleaning between different color applications, I use Bare Escentuals Quick Change brush cleanser. It's awesome, especially if you don't like to clean your brushes often or don't have time to. You just spray some on a paper towel, wipe the brush across it until the color comes off, let it dry for around 15 to 30 seconds, and then you're good to go. The brush is all ready to use again without getting the previous color mixed in. I've used it on this brush with the shadow pencils. Worked just fine.

For a regular cleaning, I soak all my brushes in BE's regular brush cleanser, lukewarm water, and it gets this off (minus sparkles, haven't figured out how to get those out of brushes from any of my products), so I think you'll be fine with whatever you use.

Try the Quick Change spray. It's awesome, you'll love it for this and all your other makeup too. Shadows, blushes, etc, works on it all. I never used to clean my brushes until I got this stuff. Love it and it's great for when you're playing around with different looks and colors.

I gently wiped my brush on a clean towel when I wanted to blend a different color and found that it didn't transfer much makeup to the towel, nor did it transfer color.

I got this brush about 2 or 3 months ago and I clean with a little dab of my face wash (Clean And Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub or Clean And Clear Daily Pore Cleanser) and message it in and it works grate!!!!!

yes

Yes

YES!! Smudge away!

I got in the Sephora store and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I found it in my store but I would just call and check especially if you are making a drive!
