if you're new to makeup world, and you think spending your money on brushes seems ridiculous, then get rid of that thought. i once thought that i don't need all that brush, so i only had two retractable blush brush (can't apply powder blush without brush), a foundation brush (from body shop), a concealer brush (don't like it, i think it's from body shop), an eyeshadow brush (the one to pack the color on your eyelid) and a blending eyeshadow brush (i think it's from body shop again), and a powder brush from elf. i've been wanted to buy the studio brush sets, but i always get second thought every time it went on sale, so i missed it a lot. and i like elf brush more than my body shop or face shop.. so i was thinking about getting another brush from elf again. since there's no sales and i think i can still use some of my brushes, i don't think of buying the set anytime soon. so i have to pick very carefully on what to buy. i was thinking of buying eyeshadow brush set, but elf doesn't have that kind of set. so i was thinking stipple brush or angled blush brush which i've already wanted to buy for a long time but kept postponing it since i've already had two retractable brushes. at the end, i decided to buy the angled blush brush, so i can learn to apply my bronzer and blushes better. and oh my.. after trying it, i regret that i didn't buy that sooner.
this is the description from elf's website: the slanted shape of the angled blush brush offers precision application for a sculpted look. the soft dense bristles contours facial features easily. use with cream, liquid or powder blush, bronzers or highlighters for a professional result.
the packaging: elf brushes comes in a plastic packaging with a piece of cardboard at the inner back with descriptions on it. since this one is an angled brush, it doesn't destroy the brush shape if they squeezed it into the package. but my previous powder brush was supposed to be fluffy, but it got pressed that i have to wash it several times before the shape went back to normal.
the brush: the bristles is super soft. oh my... just like the powder brush. the handle is firmer than the powder brush one. there's no loose black connecting part like my powder brush. for me, the length of the handle is just right, but everyone has their own preference.. so i don't know.
the performance: my body shop retractable blush brush packs too much color but if i tap it before swiping it on my face, most of the powder will gone. so annoying. but this one.. it doesn't pack a lot and if i tap, only the excess will lose. so it's a very good brush to apply color lightly. easier to control. works well with blush and bronzer.
so yes, i regret i don't buy this sooner. after buying this brush, i almost never use my retractable brush anymore. though i have to admit it's not travel friendly, but i almost never do any makeup while traveling, so it's not a problem. if you're a beginner in makeup world, then try this brush. it will make your blush/bronzer applied better. and it doesn't cost much.
