Pros: gets the powder out of the pan better
Cons: not as easily stored as other brushes

"I recived the chisel brush in my starter kit. The bristles are harder then other brushes ive tried but i think thats partly to help lift the powder from its pressed form. Where its good as a face brush for general coverage, I wouldnt recommend it for your eye areas or really sensitive skin. If you need better coverage or concealment using the max coverage brush then use the chisel after to finish up. If the brustles are to hard for your skin ( though it hasnt been an issue for me) try using the powder brushes. Everyone is different, and though pur minerals work on a wide range of people, everyone will still need their own set of tools to use it in the best way for them."
