Beauty review: Coastal Scents Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush

Though I already made few post about the brushes I use and about some of Coastal Scents brushes, I often get e-mails where my readers ask me for more information about them so I decided to write reviews on each of the brushes I’m using with more detailed information. For my 1st review, I decided to write about my  Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush which is among my TOP 3 brushes when it comes to quality and how much I use it.

Synthetic Wide Buffer Brush is a brush which I’m using for applying my loose and pressed powder. It is definitely THE brush when it comes to that purpose (at least among the ones I’ve tried).  The thing about this brush is that it is smaller, flat and really dense. 100% synthetic. It is unbelievably soft and gentle when used! It’s a bit bigger than the kabuki brush (which I completely stopped using when I got this one) but easier to handle and to use.  I simply pat all over my face when applying loose or pressed powder which is less irritating for my skin than making many rounded moves. In the end, I simply blend out if there is any excess powder left.  It actually much nicer applying powder with this brush, than with kabuki brush – it looks nicer.

I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and I’ve washed it so many times and this brush doesn’t shred at all (I think I’ve lost only 2 or 3 hairs by now). Brush diameter is a bit larger after 6 months, but nothing notably.

You can get it at the Coastal Scents web site – here and its price is $14.95. With shipping costs it’s around $20.00 which maybe seems much, but trust me, for this brush it isn’t too much.   You can see more photos in the rest of my post with exact measurements of the brush.

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.

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.
