Sephora sells a great selection of brushes, which are currently on sale. (Janauary, 2010). The brushes are sold invidually or in sets. There are some really great brush sets available right now, some of which come in travel cases. I've discovered that a good brush (usually not what comes in a kit or with an individual product) can make the difference in how a product applies. I have this blush and use a great big bushy blush brush. A flat brush would offer a precise application, but a bushy blush/bronzing blush allows for a more natural looking application. (A hard bristled brush might give a somewhat striped effect).

with a blush brush, apply to the apples of your cheeks.
