Makeup brushes I use for eye makeup

Since I’ve posted few looks these days, I received few e-mails in which you ask me to write a post about makeup brushes I use, but this time for my eye makeup so, here it is!

At this moment, I use 6 eyeshadow brushes and 1 angled brush for applying gel liner. Unfortunately, a can’t afford to spend minimum $20 per brush (and I’m not even sure  would even if I could because I’m a bit tight to spend that money on just one single makeup brush) so I chose something cheaper – Coastal Scents and ecotools brushes and those which I have for now are really enough for my needs.

I’m there are plenty better brushes than these, but if you’re not willing to spend too much money, I think this is a good choice and that these brushes would satisfy your needs. :)

Brushes:

  1. CS Italian Badger Pencil Brush ($3.29) – link – it’s perfect for applying eyeshadow in the crease area;
  2. CS Black Shadow brush ($1.95) – link – I use it to apply eyeshadows a bit heavier, it picks any eyeshadow excellent and though it it soft it’s at the same time firm as well;
  3. CS Italian Badger Round Crease Brush ($2.89) – link – I have 2 of these and I use them to apply any eyeshadow all over my eye lid;
  4. CS Italian Badger Blender Brush ($2.95) – link – I use it to blend everything;
  5. ecotools Concealer Brush (approx. $5) – though it isn’t for eyeshadow application, I use it for that anyway and I like it;
  6. CS Chisel Detail Mini brush ($1.99) – link – this brush is really teeny tiny brush :D and I use it to apply my eyeshadow in the inner corners and on my bottom eyelash line;

Beauty review: ecotools blush brush

ecotools kist za rumeniloecotools kist za rumenilo

I’ve been using ecotools blush brush for quite some time and I think it’s the right time for a review. I already wrote about this brush in my post about the brushes I use  – link, but this will be a bit more detailed review.

As far as I know, in Croatia, ecotools brushes are available only in Kozmo drugstores. Beside this brush, there are other ecotools brushes available like eyeliner brush, eyeshadow brush, concealer brush, powder brush, foundation brush but I know there aren’t available some ecotools set like that eyeshadow set or bamboo set. But, thanks to online shopping, everything is available pretty much. :D

So, what can I say about this brush beside the fact that I’m indeed satisfied and that in 90%  of times when applying blush I use this brush. It’s so soft (but not to soft), it applies every single blush perfectly, blends it out even better. I couldn’t wish more than that, right? Also, the bristles are synthetic and as I already mentioned – soft (I haven’t tried brushes with natural hair so I don’t know how is this brush comparing to one of those). I was it quite often and for now, one single hair hasn’t fallen out!

The regular price is $14 which isn’t that cheap, but it is worth every penny. I recommend this brush so, if you’re ISO a blush brush, consider trying this one. :)

Makeup brushes I use

Kistovi01ecotools powder blush, ecotools blush brush, fake 187, coastal scents large foundation brush, ecotools foundation brush, ecotools concealer brush

Note: this post was previously published here

Today I took pictures of all I’m using for applying makeup. The only thing I forgot to take picture of were sponge applicators, but you know how those look like. I use them for applying eyeshadow, got used to them.

Anyway, here’s a short description and review of each brush. All brushes are described from left to right.

Kistovi02ecotools powder brush, ecotools blush brush, fake 187

ecotools powder brush
It’s a huge fluffy brush with soft synthetic hair. I haven’t tried such a soft brush before. It’s perfect for applying loose powder. Perhaps you can use it as a blush brush, but I think it’s a bit too large for that and too soft.

ecotools blush brush (must have!)
This one is also made of synthetic hair, but, as I mentioned above – htey’re SO soft. It’s perfect for applying blush. I use it for soft or solid blushes. It’s really great for every blush I own.

fake 187 (must have!)
This is one of the most popular brushes or at least I got that impression. The great thing about this brush is that you can use it for applying everything you want – loose powder, liquid foundation or blush. I haven’t tried applying loose powder with it, but I think it would be good for that too.
Applying liquid foundation with this brush is taking a whole new dimension  – you get to knoe the true meaning of the words photoshop effect. Your face does look as it got off a magazine cover.   I love applying highly pigmented with this brush because you can control how strong the blush will look on your face.
