E.L.F. Essential Eye Brushes

E.L.F. Essential Brushes 

These eye brushes are from their essential line and all of them were just $1 each. They have very soft natural bristles and are very effective. I heard the face brushes were scratchy so I stayed away from those and just bought the eye ones. Keep in mind, they do shed and some more than others.

         

Eyeshadow Brush - This is a flat shading eyeshadow brush, great for packing color all over the eyelid. Very similar to the Sigma E55.

             

Defining Eye Brush - This brush is flimsy and good for blending, create for applying a deep color on the eye socket. Its thin so it fits right on the crease. Also can be used to highlight the browbone.

           

Smudge Brush- Short, soft bristles that are flat and rounded off at the tip. Great for smudging out eyeliners and applying color to the lower lash line. Comparable to the Bubbi Smudge brush, they both have the same shape but the Bubbi one is made out of synthetic bristles. 

         

 Blending Eye Brush and Eye Crease Brush

I put both of these brushes together because they are the exact same shape, just one is slightly larger. I use both to apply color over my lid and for blending eyeshadow. The Eye Crease brush fits a little better for my eyes because I don't have large eyelids.

               

Smudge Eye Sponge - The sponge tip is very stiff and quite pointy so I place this perpendicular to my eyelid because if I did, it would poke my skin. I can try to use it slanted but its not really so effective, also this is very difficult to clean. I prefer just using the Smudge Brush to smudge or diffuse eyeliner.

       

 Eyelash and Brow Wand - An ordinary spooly that every girl needs. Great for putting your brows in place and getting rid of harsh marks on your eyebrows. You can also use this to remove clumps on your lashes after mascara. This is also difficult to clean because dust gets easily captured between the spiral bristles.
