Tom Ford's brushes are made in Japan and have specially placed -- not cut -- natural brush hairs to provide that lush, heavenly feel against the skin. This also allows for more evenly distributed product application. The Tom Ford Bronzer brush's wide and full construction allows for less time in front of the mirror blending out bronzing powder. This brush is one of the largest brushes in my collection and is significantly larger than any of Tom Ford's face brushes. FYI: It may be too large to fit in the pan of small bronzing powders.
This Bronzer brush is an investment, but considering the Japanese craftsmanship as well as the number and length of brush hairs in comparison to his smaller face brushes, the $115 USD price is actually justifiable. The brush responds well to the BeautyBlender liquid cleanser, and it has yet to shed a single hair. Given a choice between the 05 Bronzer or 06 Cheek brushes, I would select the bronzer brush since I do not reach for blush nearly as often as I wear bronzer. I recommend splurging on whichever brush suits your makeup preferences.
