Its smaller and denser shape makes it easy to get into the hollows of your cheeks for precise contouring. Since it is smaller brush, it can also be used for highlighting the face and applying glow to the higher points of the face.
Stippler Brush: Stippling brushes also can be multi-purpose; they can be used for a number of reasons.
