E.L.F Brushes Haul


For some time now, I've been on the hunt for some new  makeup brushes and obsessed with finding them at a good price .  After reviewing many You Tube and blogs about how amazing and cheaply priced the ELF brushes were I decided to invest in some myself to see what all the hype was about.

I purchased several brushes from the studio Line. The regular price is $3.00/brush.  Yes, you read right $3.00/brush. Even better than that E.L.F who is always having promotions was having a 50% off promotion on their studio line, Yup that would be $1.50/brush, so I thought what a perfect time to stock up and invest in some new brushes;

So if you're looking for some decent brushes without breaking the bank stay tune for a more detailed review on description and how I like to use these brushes. I've also linked each of the brushes on the E.l.f's website.

My Use
I already owned this brush and have had it for several years… It was starting to get a little messed up so I purchased another one. This brush if you review YouTube is probably one of the most used brush out there and I have to say it is worthy of all its hype. 

I use this brush to apply my liquid, cream and/or powder foundations. It gives me a smooth flawless and natural finish each time. 



Small Stipple Brush

Use the Small Stipple Brush to create soft layers by adding texture for a natural airbrushed result. The two layers of bristles create ultimate control from sheer to heavy coverage for small and hard to reach places. Ideal with liquid, cream or powder products, foundation, concealer, and cream blush.   Source Elf
    
My Use 
I am really lovin' this brush.. It's soft but also dense and its small size is great for applying the ELF HD cream blushes,  it distributes product nicely when stippling to the cheeks and I'm able to blend into the cheeks showing the true vibrancy of the blush.


Rate:  Excellent

Complexion Brush

E.L.F Complexion Brush
This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush! Creates an even and natural finish: Expertly sweeps all types of powders across the entire face and sculpts features beautifully.  Use with pressed, loose, or translucent powders, blush or bronzer.    Source ELF

My Use 
I pretty much use this brush every day, the brush bristles are so soft and I like to use it to apply with translucent powders all over the face. Between the brush and powder it applies very lightly and sheer minimizing those fine face lines. Sometimes if I am not using this brush for an all over sweep, I will then use it to dust away excess powder.
Rate: Very Nice


Mineral Powder Brush

The rounded-dome tip and densely packed bristles offer exact product placement and complements the circular movements needed to apply mineral powders. Perfect for providing full coverage and reaching the hard to reach crevices of the face. Use for applying both loose and compact mineral powders or any other pressed or loose powder, foundation, bronzer or blush.   Source ELF
Rate:   Very Nice


My Use 
Great brush,soft, like the complexion brush but  half the size and much denser. I use this brush for translucent and mineral powders for a more precise application. I can always get the necessary cover that I am looking for when using this brush.




Angled Blush Brush

My Use 
This is another soft bristle brush but it's not my favorite or go to brush.  However, when I do reach for it it's usually when I am applying blush, bronzers or highlighter.

My Use 
Here's another brush that I think is awesome.  Who said you can't get good brushes for cheap.  I use  this brush when using translucent powder to set under my eyes. It's small and fits perfectly under the eye where most of my fine lines reside and it helps set my concealer.




That's it folks until next time - Toodles for now!
