E.L.F. Studio Brush Review


Studio Brushes
 These brushes are from their studio line and they were $3 each. They look very sleek and the bristles are synthetic and soft. The only bad thing is that the glue they use for the ferrule isn't that great, they usually fall off and I end up gluing it back together.



Powder Brush - Flat top brush, bristles are quite densely packed together. I use this as an all over face brush. Great for both liquid and powder foundation, setting powders, cream and powder blush and bronzers.
The flat top makes it great to glide across the skin and distribute product evenly. Flip it to it's side and use the angle part to contour.




     
Angle Blush Brush - Dense angled blush, similar to the Sigma Angle Kabuki brush and the Bubbi Sculpting brush, just less dense and a little bit flatter. I can use this buff in foundation, blush, and bronzer. I also use this to gently dab my concealer, and highlighter and powder.




      
Fan Brush - Very thin and soft bristles, somewhat flimsy. I like using this to apply setting powder, it gives a very natural finish and doesn't look cakey. You can also use this for pigmented highlighters, blush and bronzers because it light dusts product on your skin.




       
Pointed Foundation Brush - I had high hopes for this brush, I was hoping this would preform the same way as my coastal scents small dome kabuki but it doesn't have as much bristles. It streaks my foundation, I like it for blending concealer and applying highlighters. Its shedding and the handle fell off.




         
Flawless Concealer Brush -  Bristles are densely tucked in and rounded off. Mimics the shape of your finger to lend your concealer like how you usually blend your concealer using your fingers. This feels very soft under the delicate eye area and over blemishes.




           
Angle Contour Brush - This brush is cut flat in an angle to make it easy for contouring. The bristles are dense buy not as the Flawless Concealer Brush. I use this to apply all over color on my eyelids, contour the cheeks and nose. This can also use to blend concealer.




         
 Flat Eyeliner Brush - Bristles are soft and cut flat. I thought this would be a good push liner brush but the bristles are way too long to control. I'm scared I accidentally poke my eyes because the bristles are flimsy and move around when I was trying to tight line my upper lash line. This works great on the lower lash line and water line.




            
Retractable Lip Brush - Retractable brush that is very travel friendly. It caps together so the cap protects the bristles from getting messed up in your bag. The bristles tappers a little at the tip and its great for precise application. I use this to blend lipstick.
