EYESHADOW BRUSH : COLORBAR REVIEW AND USES

Hello friends, today's post is going to be a review on Colorbar Eyeshadow Brush.

Makeup brushes are to makeup enthusiasts what knives are to chefs. They are your weapons  or tools without which you cant function.You can never have too many. This is what I say to myself each time I get a new makeup brush.brush

My latest acquisition being the COLORBAR eyeshadow brush. Well what prompted me to by it was its cute look. Colored bristles and by the looks of it it looked quiet nice.

So lets begin...

Its priced at INR 250 and is easily available online or at colorbar outlets.

What does colorbar say about this brush

Now when I opened it I was pleasantly surprised to find the bristles to be very soft. I was impressed. This is my first brush from Colorbar.

Upon looking closely I could see that the bristles are tightly and closely packed, making it easier to pick up more product and the flat shape ensures you can distribute the eyeshadow evenly.

Love it. Though I have one major issue with this brush, its the size. I found it rather small for an eyeshadow brush. If only it were a little big bigger it would have score those brownie points from. 

But I still recommend it.

 Confused? Dont be.

This brush is ideal for applying cream bases. Maybelline COLOR TATTOO to MAC paint pots. This eyeshadow brush will help distributing the cream base evenly on the lids.

Next this eyeshadow brush is perfect for applying eyeshadow on the lower lashline and also blending it. The bristles are tight so there wouldnt be worries of fall out, if you tap off the excess product.

You can also apply your eyeshadow in the inner tear duct with this brush perfectly. The small size makes it perfect for that purpose.

While doing a cut crease this brush is optimal as you can get a dense and precise application with this brush.

These are just a few ways I use this brush, not for applying the eye shadow on the lids, I find it small for that purpose, but if you have smaller eyes, or lesser space to work with hen this brush is just perfect for you.

As they dont judge a book by its cover. This brush didnt work for me the way it was meant to but it works just as well in other ways. Here is the comparison with other flat eyeshadow brushes.

ELF BLUSH BRUSH REVIEW 4 IN 1 BRUSH

Hey everyone,
For today's post I am going to be doing a quick review on the E.L.F. cosmetics studio BLUSH brush.
The reason I am reviewing this brush is to show you the versatility of this brush. I f you have something similar in your vanity you can use it for multiple purposes.
Lets jump right in..

PRICED at $3 USD it is as cheap as they come.

ELF brushes are good quality brushes and great option for those on a budget or the ones who are starting out into makeup and trying their hands at different products without burning a hole in the pocket. 

The bristles of the brush are very soft and the brush doesnt bleed on washing. I have been using it for two years now and it still looks like new. The brush does not shed while washing, that is a major plus.

Here are the three different ways I use this brush. Not all at once though.

1. The BLUSH brush is quiet unique in the shape, its tapered on the  sides and comes up at a point on the top. It is precisely this shape that makes it ideal for contouring and highlighting. 

The tapered shape makes it easy to allow to place the product exactly how to want it and since its round and fluffy as well it is easier to blend away the harsh contour lines with this brush. Hold the brush sideways and apply the product.

2. Same goes for highlighting. I like how this brush is not too dense to pick up a lot of product and not too light either. Its has the perfect balance. So if I use it as a highlighter I just pick up some product on the tip of the brush and apply the highlighter and lightly blend it.

3.You may also use it to set your POWDER BRUSH, to set the foundation and concealer. Its just the perfect size neither too big nor too small. I often time use this brush as a setting brush or my loose powder specially to set the concealer. Just lay the brush flat on the loose powder and the tapered shape is perfect to apply it on the under eye area. 

4.This brush can also be used as a BLUSH BRUSH for powder brushes. Just lay the brush flat on the brush as against on the sides. This is the most obvious use...as it is indeed a BLUSH brush.

FINAL WORDS:

ELF makes some great quality brushes and you can check them  HERE . The blush brush is a multi functional  good quality brush at dirt cheap price.  

I wish these were readily available in India.
