These babies retail for $43.99 but Crown Brush paired up with my sweet friend Kandee Johnson to give us this amazing deal... I paid $29.99 (each!!) including shipping! Yaa baby! That is about $2 a brush! Plus a case!
What a steal!
So what do I think? (This is after using the one Glenn bought me for Christmas, feeling another pink set and then feeling the bronze set I bought for my kit!)
Overall:: Great brushes!
Here is the deets on them!
~~Out of the 2 pink sets I have used/felt, the face brushes in one were incredibly softer than the other set (if you ordered a set and the face brushes aren't soft, try getting in contact with Crown--they are still swamped but they have great customer service!)
~~Brushes are Sable hair unless noted otherwise down below!
My favorite brushes out of the set:
3. Angle Blush: This brush is great! It is a great shape for blush! (hehe hence the name!)
5. Angle Blender: Ohhh man! I had gotten one of these for my kit a few months ago and was soo bummed I didn't have one for myself! But now I do! I loveeeee this brush! Its like they took a normal round blending brush and cut it t the angle of the angle liner! It is perfecttt for putting shadow right above the crease! Like in pin-up looks!
7. Blending Fluff: This is great for laying down the first color or any color you are going to wash all over your lid!
12. Angle Liner: I have plenty of angle liner brushes I could use but I really like the size of this one! It's especially great for doing the innermost part of your liner!
15. Round Crease: This thing is great for smudging out colors for a great smokey look!
Other brushes I adore: (all of them but some in particular!)
6. Oval Shadow: Great for applying colors you want to concentrate in one spot and things like pigments because it is so packed full of bristles!
1. Chisel Powder: This thing covers your whole face super quickly!
So what in the world is each brush for?? Well here is what I use them for!
1. Chisel powder: I use this to apply my setting powder after my foundation! Thee bristles are long and very moveable so it glides around your face!
2. Chisel Blush: I use this to apply a light coating of bronzer all over my face (I'm uber white so I gotta get some color back into my face!) and highlighter. Bristles are shorter than the chisel powder brush and a little more compact
3. Angle Blush: I apply my blush with this everyday! Bristles are angled, as if you took the chisel blush and cut the top at an angle but bristles are looser more like the chisel powder!
4. Foundation: I actually haven't used this brush because I use a sponge or my fingers but I'm going to donate it to my kit and use it for misc. things like applying primer and spreading foundation! Bristles here are synthetic for cremes!
5. Angle Blender: I use this to apply eye shadow right about my crease! (Keeping the shadow above your crease will open up your eyes!) These bristles are cut at an angle to fit nicely above your crease, in between the length of the oval shadow and the blending fluff!
6. Oval Shadow: I like to use this one to apply colors I want to keep concentrated in one area! Like if I add a little touch of gold or something that I just want in one spot! The bristles are short and compact (kinda like a kabuki of eye shadow brushes!)!
7. Blending Fluff: I use this to apply the color that I put all over my lid, and then I use the tip to apply the highlight under my brow and sometimes in the inner corner! I occasionally use it to blend if the colors are stubborn and wont blend with the other brushes!
8. Flat liner: I haven't used this one just yet because I love the angle liner! (hehe) Bristles are synthetic for cremes and gels, short and stiff for lining!
9. Concealer: Show me a girl with no blemishes, and I'll show you her secret- this brush! Great for applying concealer to blemishes and under eyes! Bristles are synthetic for your cremes and liquids!
10. Lash Fan: I've used this for applying light touches of highlighter to my cheeks! Bristles are short and stiff! (This is probably my least favorite brush so I don't use it often!)
11. Brow/Lash Groomer: Brows- I use this to get the foundation out of my eye brows before I fill them in with shadow! The bristles are short and stiff so it works great to really get it out of there! Lash Groomer- this is used to separate your lashes! Bristles are plastic! haha
12. Angle Liner: Self explanatory! I use this for my eye liner! But only the cremes, gels, or pencil transfer because the bristles on this baby are synthetic! Meaning you need a different brush to set in that liner with a powder!
13. Oval Lip: I actually really love to use this for concealer on small blemishes! It's smallness makes it great for precise application! Bristles are synthetic!
14. Mini Smudger: I use this to apply extra details like a little flash of purple coming out of my eye liner! But it would work to use it to set your creme/gel/pencil eye liner! Bristles are short and the tip is rounded like the side of a circle!
15. Round Crease: I use this to smudge out smokey eye colors! It is great for blending like that! Bristles are short and dome tipped with a point! These are also called pencil brushes sometimes!
16. Faux Reptile Case: Who doesn't love a faux reptile case?!
This was not my first purchase from Crown Brush and it definitely won't be my last! I have several of their brushes and they are great! (I'll do a little post on the other things I have from them soon!)
Overall I would give these brushes an A! (It's not an A+ simply because there seemed to be some variation to how soft the brushes are between sets!)
Brushes and lost blog posts,
Samantha <3
