This product is the perfct shadow brush
The good karma shadow brush is great showdow brush. one of my favorit things about this bush is that it is so easy to clean out before moving on to another color. i hate it when my eye shadows mix in the pan and if I'm creating multicolor looks it will sometimes take me a while to clean out my brush. but this brush cleans out right away. also it is made of good material that doesn't break or bend. this product is a must have.

It's a good brush!
It's not my favorite shader brush I have. But it is a good brush. I like it because it's stiff. I actually use this for applying shadow in my crease, or on my lower lashline. I use it for my lid sometimes too, but I have a different brush I like better for that. I *DO* like it for applying certain shadows in my crease, and I would say that I like it the best out of my brush collection for applying shadow to my lower lashline.

Not an everyday brush, but fantastic all the same.
I thoroughly enjoy using this brush for cream shadows (aqua creams, paint pots, etc.) Its stiff enough to pat the product on without too sheer of application and small enough to be very precise. I'll also reach for this to get a sheer wash of a very pigmented product.

Precise brushing!
I got this brush when I bought the Naked eyeshadow palette, and I didn't think it would be so good, because from my past experiences, brushes that come with palettes aren't usually that good, but this one really surprised me!
It's precise, and firm, allowing you to put your eyeshadow on without too much effort, and not compromising the quality of the color and pigmentation which are charactheristic of UD quality.

Great brush
I love this brush. It is very precise, and has almost a silky feel to it. Very soft brush that is easy on the eyelid and best of all it doesnt fray ! i find this brush very versitile. it can be used for a regular sweep of eyeshadow but is also defined enough to make sharper lines towards the outer corner of the eyes. I like to use a darker color to create that subtle cat eye with shadow with this brush.

Good Karma brush
I truly am in love with the entire range of Urban Decay brushes, and this is one of my favorites. It is a great size and I use it for many purposes. I have used this brush for concealer, to blend out my eye shadow, to smudge my eye liner, as a lip stick brush, to smooth my lip liner, just about every way one could use a brush, I have used this brush to do it. I prefer Taklon brushes, they are cruelty free, they clean easily, and they don't shed. The ferrules are nice and tight, and I really use my brushes. I wash them after every use, and this brush still looks and works as it did when it was brand new. I bought a couple of backups, in the event I needed to use it for more than one type of application at a time, as well as if I had one that was still damp from cleansing it. I don't do that often, but this is one of those products I felt the need to own more than one of. I love it that much.

There's nothing not to love. Super-soft, creates professional looking eye-make up with ease, and vegan! I use it in harmony with the Good Karma blending brush, which results in perfect smokey eyes every time. I recently did a friend's make up for her before a night out, and she commented on how lovely the brushes feel on your skin. No sign of any stray hairs or shedding any time soon either!

Not for matte shades but great for cream eyeshadows
this brush came with my naked 1 palette and it doesn't work well with the matte shades but it does pick up the sparkly shades pretty well.
I have used this for cream eyeshadows and this blends so nicely.

A Pro Perspective
This brush has been a dream come true for me! I received it along with the Naked Palette, which was my first exposure to a synthetic/cruelty-free and more stiff brush. Aside from being cruelty-free, it tends to pick up product in a more efficient and conservative manner.
It also allows you to apply it more precisely and I've found that with other brushes, the product can tend to fall out and cause problems if you don't prepare for it, especially darker shadows. That's almost never an issue with this brush! It has a stiffer feel, but also more smooth and velvety sensation as well versus the more prickly and opposite sensation from non-synthetic brushes that I had used before.
The bottom line is that it uses the product more sparingly and without messes and gives a really good professional finished and refined look when you're done. I plan to replace all of my natural brushes with synthetic UD ones!

Easy to use
This brush works wonders! I like how its a bit bigger so you dont have to worry about being exactly precise to get the look that you want. It also doubles as a blender brush and thats really helpful. I have noticed when using this brush though that sometimes you have to use a lot of shadow on the bristles in order to apply the amount of shadow you want. Overall, I would recommend!
February 28, 2012
Awesome Brush
This eyeshadow brush is awesome! I received this brush when I bought the naked palette and they could not have put a more perfect brush with the palette! It gets and holds a good amount of product on and gives a very good application! The brush is so nice and sleek, also it has NOT shed and I hate it when a brush sheds! Overall a fantastic brush that I would recommend to anyone!
March 8, 2013
Amazing Quality!
It has super soft and smooth hairs! It doesn't hurt my sensitive skin when I use it. I always use this brush to apply shadow all over the lid! It helps apply an even application and it picks up the product very well. I also find its denseness to be extremely helpful when applying glittery shadows! It minimizes the amount of fall out if any! This is my favorite eyeshadow brush!
March 5, 2013
Love it!
I'm still fairly new on the "correct" way of using eyeshadows and applying makeup but I can say this brush has taught me so much. It's versatile and can do just about anything you need it to do - full sweep over lid, crease, smudge, etc. Picks up color fully and cleans very easily. I use it when I travel because it's every brush in one. Haven't had a problem with it at all!
August 17, 2011
Poor for reusing
I got this brush with my Naked palette. I would definitely say that this is a good brush for patting on a lid color. Shadows go on smoothly, and the brush can also do double-duty for smudging/smoking liner. However, a real drawback is that after washing, this brush does not regain its original shape. It stays stiff, and I can't get it to revert back to its original form.
March 5, 2013
Multi-use and great quality brush.
This brush came with my Naked palette, and I love it! It's great for packing on powder or mineral shadow onto the lid in a controlled way. It's also great for cream eyeshadows; I use it to spread them over the lid or place them exactly where I need them to be. It is short and dense, and it washes very well. I'm sure it could also be used for concealer in a pinch, too.
February 3, 2012
Surprisingly wonderful brush!
I didn't think this brush would blow my mind... but I was wrong! I'm so glad that I got this brush! It is such a nice brush with the Urban Decay eyeshadow! Picks up just enough product, and I find that I can use it for my all over lid color as well as the crease and outer v area easily! I reach for this brush just as much as my more expensive brushes, if not more!
March 5, 2013
Favorite Flat Shader Brush!
This is my favorite brush for all over the lid! I love how long it is because it gives you a much larger surface to collect shadow on. It is true, however, that you really have to pack the color on to get a nice dramatic look, but if you simply want a wash of color on the lid one or two swipes of shadow with this brush does the job beautifully! Love this brush!
August 4, 2011
Amazing synthetic brush.
I got this brush in my Naked palette and it's the best brush to pick up metallic shadows. It's easy to use and control and you can get the best "foiled" look with this brush. Also, being a vegetarian, I like the fact that no animals were harmed in the making of this brush. It's nice to have a synthetic brush that can do a better job than a real haired brush.
February 26, 2012
great for packing on product.
This review is based on the ability to pack on loose shadows, which is what I use it for. The brush itself is made well, and the bristles are firm enough to deposit product right where you need it. I use this all the time, and I love that you can see when the brush is actually clean, because the bristles are clear on the end. overall, very good brush.
February 14, 2012
I love it, but I don't really use it for eyeshadow.
This brush came in my Naked palette and I think that it's a really good quality brush and it's very nice, but I don't love it as an eyeshadow brush. I can't seem to get my shadow the way that I want it when I use this brush...
However, I do find this brush great for concealer! It's so sleek and pretty, but I just use my other brushes for eyeshadow.
February 2, 2012
A good brush
I love how this brush, and all Urban Decay brushes are VEGAN! Super big plus in my books!
I got this brush in the Naked Palette and use it with every application. I have even started using it with other shadows and palettes.
I find that I needed to practice with the brush before I got the hang of it but that's probably just me.
A good brush!
March 5, 2013
OK Brush
I mainly use another brand of eco-friendly brushes that I adore, but I like having this extra brush around. I find it's a little stiff, but really, I'm no expert at eyeshadow application and I couldn't say if I'm using it right. I have to say it gets the job done and packs on Urban Decay shadows pretty well (which are all I currently use).
February 12, 2012
love this brush!!
I like this brush. It's my only dense, stiff shadow brush although it resembles a very smooth, streamlined concealer brush. Like many others, I received this in my Naked palette, but I do prefer it over the eyeliners - I don't like pencil eyeliners. This brush and my MAC 217 work beautifully together to make a perfect yet simple eye look.
March 11, 2013
Good brush; really soft and has multiple uses on the eye
This brush is good for anywhere on your eye, whether it be on your eyelid, crease, or even highlighting your browbone. The only thing I do not like about this brush is, I feel it doesnt pack on a lot of shadow. I do however, like how the brush is synthetic, so it can be used with cream shadows. Good brush, but just a bit pricey.
January 31, 2012
My favorite!
This has pretty much become my absolute favorite eye shadow brush. I'm very particular about my brushes and I had a select few that I used before I got this one. Now it seems like this is the only one that gives me the shadow coverage I want! It's very soft, smooth and easy to pat on shadows with. I definitely recommend it.
March 16, 2012
Good Good Karma
it's good for packing on color, but not for much else. Which is okay seeing as thats what it was designed for. I like it very much and it is a very solid and good weighted brush. Feels good in my hands and is a very attractive brush. The bristles aren't too soft ,but won't poke your eye out either. I recommend this product.
April 27, 2012
Excellent brush
I had never owned an eyeshadow brush until I got this one and I don't know how I did my eye makeup without one of these for so long. It does an excellent job when I use it to apply my eyeshadow. It's a very good quality brush and I especially love the fact that it is vegan. I highly recommend this brush to anyone.
March 12, 2013
good for certain types of shadows
i use this brush with more metallic and glittery shades (think midnight cowboy) and it works very nicely. but any of my matte or shimmery shades dont go on as nicely with this. you really have to only pat the shadow on with this brush or the application is not even. but the fact that it is cruelty free is awesome
February 28, 2012
Great for precie application
What I love about this brush is its multitasking ability- you can lift and deposit color with the flat in a sweeping motion, covering large areas, or turn it sideways and utilize it like a fine eyeliner brush. It really makes it convenient for trips and on the go, as I don't have to bring every tool with me!
April 23, 2012
Average Brush
I like this brush and reach for it every once in a while. It is very stiff which is good when I need it for precise application. Super easy to clean and no bristles fall out. The design is incredible, I think every brand should take a note from it. The handles are super durable and couldnt be made better.
