Now i know this is suppose to be a "blending" brush as the name suggests but i feel that it does more than that. Ive used this for multiple ways.

Weirdly enough I dont use this for blending! Im not really one to blend different colored eyeshadows on a daily basis, so im not exactly used to using this for blending colors like a blue with a green. I still used it for blending and it does a fair job in blending. I feel that the hairs are little too long for it to blend some colors amazingly. it still does the job but i feel like i need a little extra time blending as opposed to something a bit denser. It is pretty flimsy, but theres a fair amount of density in it.

Now im not mad that it doesnt blend that well, im not mad at ALL. Since i wanted to give this another shot, i went ahead and tried it many times. My everyday make up routine, consists of a simple champagne on the lid and contouring on the crease. I usually use about 3 brushes, but when i got this brush, this is all i needed. I use this for a light wash of color on lid and since i use kind of highly pigmented shades (Wet N Wild shadows lol) I only need a tiny bit of it and it does the job. It spreads the color amazingly.

Now for contouring, I have to say, it does a better job than a denser brush. I find that I really get a defined lid when i used this to contour. I use a very light hand and I just pretty much rock it back and forth to create a "faux" lid, as i like to call it :)

I usually darken the outer corners of my lids with a bit of a darker shade, and sometimes when i used a bit of a dense brush, i put too much on the brush and make it look too dark. With this brush, i pick up very little product and i get to have more control which is awesome!


Final Thoughts? : I gotta say, it might not be the best for blending, but it is definitely amazing for every other job that i used it for.

  2. I rarely use this brush. It doesn't do anything for me. Or perhaps I haven't taken the time to play with it long enough.
