My eye makeup is usually the focus of any look I do, be it a neutral everyday look or a vampy look for night time. This trio of brushes offers three essential eye brushes, and is perfect for beginners who are just venturing into eye makeup.
The winning brush out of this set is the tapered blending brush. I have somewhat deepset eyes with a rather large eyelid, so this brush's tapered point gets right into my crease and works well to distribute shadow all over my lid because it is also quite fluffy.
I also love the smudger brush, although the hairs are somewhat stiff. It functions as a pencil brush, and works well for detailing. The eye defining brush is an extremely thin eyeliner brush that is perfect for creating very sharp wings, but may not work as well for creating a thick line across your lashline because it is so thin.
I was incredibly impressed with my ubu 'Blending' eyeshhadow brush! I bought it when I was still starting out with make-up but it is still one of my favourites today :) It can be used for blending and shading and the brush its self is super cute. I only bought the one brush, not the entire pack, and I think it cost me R30!
I am always on the hunt for affordable makeup brushes that are good quality and effective at applying makeup. That is pretty much what I have found with this lovely Smokey Eyeshadow Brush set from UBU Cosmetics.
The set comes with 3 different brushes - a wide eyeshadow brush for general eyeshadow application to the eyelid; a tapered eyeliner brush for lining the upper eyelid; and a small blending brush that is perfect for applying darker shades to the outer and inner corners of your eyes.
The brush bristles are made of synthetic material which means that don't really absorb the eyeshadows. They pick up and transfer eyeshadow rather well and are very easy to clean after use. The handles are made of thick light-weigh plastic that makes it very easy to control the application of your eyeshadows.
These brushes are available at clicks for R64 for the pack of three brushes.
