So I really loved the other e.l.f brushes I
have bought in the past (studio small angled brush, studio eye shadow “c”
brush, studio small stipple brush, and an eyeshadow brush that came with the
color crush palette). They were sold out of the one studio brush I was planning
on getting but they had a studio contour brush that I got. I had heard some bad
things about the essential brushes but at 1.00, it was a risk I was willing to
take. Turns out that risk was pretty much worth it!
This brush was a perfect choice! I didn't
have a good blending brush and this one does the job! The bristles are nice and
soft and no shedding. I’m not sure about how the pick-up of eye shadow is
because all I have used this for is blending. But it’s a perfect blending brush
especially for just a buck!
Next
brush: essential smudge brush
I can’t believe that I lived without this
brush! The bristles were soft but just stiff enough to work perfectly as a
smudge brush. I used this to apply shadow to my crease and outer V. It does a
god job of smudging but I don’t smudge all that much.
Next Brush: Studio Contour Brush
So
I don’t contour so I just bought this brush because I knew I could use it for
other purposes. I haven’t used it that much except for apply some shadow but
the bristles are soft and don’t shed. I can’t wait to use this one more. Update: this brush is good for blending, highlighting, outer v and intensifying the eye shadow on the eye (it gets more color on the eyes than my eyeshadow C brush)
Finally: essentials defining eye brush
I really was excited for this brush but it
was a MAJOR disappointment. It did great at picking up color BUT the color
STUCK to the brush. It shed A LOT too.
The eye shadow barely got on my outer V with this brush, 90% was on the
brush. The eye shadow is still on the brush now… So this one I’ll keep stashed
away until I can do something with it lol.
Overall, I loved the brushes I got and I’m
happy that my brush collection is a bit bigger now!
