Purchased at a Shiseido store. Only tried on the back of my hand once, so it's in excellent condition. Cleaned. Immediate purchase is welcome. Since it's almost new, I'm sorry, but I can't offer a discount. It will be sent in its original box, in the same condition as when purchased. According to a Shiseido beauty consultant, the brush is cut at an angle, so after taking eyeshadow onto the brush, you can create a natural and beautiful gradation by sweeping it across your eyelid from the lash line, like a windshield wiper (^_^) Immediate purchase is welcome (^_^) no.0032
