I love my blush applicator, so much so I've now bought 4 of them. I use them to straighten my diamonds because I can't stand how they look crooked and then they don't fit right. I hot glue the tip in, or you can use a tiny bit of washi tape wrapped around it to make it stay in good and tight. I like this so much I gave one as a gift. It's double-sided so you can put you placement tips in the other end. I love the color too it's gorgeous!
