I used it lightly about 3 times only on the left side with a brush. Regarding the brush, the pink tips are original, and it has been washed. From the official website: This cheek color set features two colors, including a spring-like pink, in one compact. It blends into the cheeks, fits softly, and creates a soft, healthy complexion. The glow color with a glossy finish and the foggy color with a sheer matte finish can be layered to create various textures and shades. It comes with a cheek brush that allows you to adjust the length of the bristles. Vivid pink like blooming flowers. Please understand that this has been stored at home.
