Stiff

I love goss and really, really want to love this brush but honestly I was slightly disappointed, for me this was a big purchase and not getting much use out of it. I thought it'd be soft but really it was just very stiff, definitely a stifling brush but doesn't have the soft give(flexibleness) that lets me blend it nicely. I ended up with very streaky makeup application. Also these hairs are really delicate and hard to wash since no matter how gentle I am, the fine hairs at the end start to spring out and break whenever I wash. I use this for my liquid foundation and its too much trouble worrying about this expensive brush all the time just for a streaky application. Also I have to use a lot of product with this brush. I have dry skin which I exfoliate and moisturize but this definitely tugs and creates micro-exfoliation on my dry skin no matter how I put it on. This saddens me because I love my other Goss brush but I am afraid to try his other brushes in fear of being disappointed again. Sorry, not very happy with this even though I love Goss.

small, soft, luxurious

Okay, so this brush is very special. First is it super soft, it has all-natural hair, and all of the brushes have a small domed tip. This brush is a nice full brush however it is not too dense, which gives it the perfect amount of give when applying on your eyes. Synthetic hairs have a problem with picking up to much product, and especially with a blunt tip, give streaky application. The natural domed tip of this brush gives a gradient effect effortlessly. I have sensitive eyes and a lot of times putting on eye makeup would irritate them because of the blunt, dense not-soft brushes, however this feels really nice and soft on your lids. Also the brush is amazing in that it picks up the product very well but does not stick to the brush hairs after application, making my makeup so much easier. I am so happy with this brush and pleased that it is cruelty-free. :)
