A Review: BLUSH 3-pc Dual Ended Brush Set

Among the many definitions of "versatility", this is what I find most apt when I talk about my new 3-pc dual ended brush:
(a.) Capable of being turned round.
It summarizes the ease, the convenience, and the functionality of using these make-up brushes.  I got mine from Suesh.  Being a reputable online seller of quality make-up brushes, I thought I'd give their featured product a try.






The 3-pc dual ended brush set made by BLUSH is a combination of synthetic (concealer and foundation brush) and b-grade goat hair.  The set includes: an angled blush brush opposite the powder blush, foundation brush opposite the concealer brush, and angled contour brush opposite the eyeshadow brush.

Large Eyeshadow Brush

Slanted Shadow/Contour Brush

Slanted Blush Brush

Dome Powder Blush

Foundie Brush

Concealer Brush

What I Like:

  • Affordable.  This set costs only PhP450.
  • Long enough. Allows comfortable handling of the brushes.
  • All natural (save for the foundation and concealer brushes which are synthetic) thus picks up right amount of make-up.
  • The slanted contour brush is my favorite as it allows me to blend eyeshadows well.  Its also perfect for doing nose contour.
  • The slanted (I know it doesn't look slanted in the pic but it is actually slanted! ;-)blush brush is suggested best for doing face contour (something I've yet to learn).  In my case, I use it to apply blush.  It works. It picks up the right amount of powder.  I use the other end (the round tipped blush brush) to blend the cheek color.  Both brushes work satisfactorily. And I say that with a wink. ;-)
  • The foundation brush is also a favorite.  Its very soft and it does a good job of distributing liquid foundation quite well.  
  • The concealer brush is also good.  Its perfect for cream or liquid concealers.  I use it to pick and apply a concealer and thereafter use the foundation brush to blend it in.  Perfect.
  • The brushes come in a zip-locked pouch.  The backing of which contains tips for doing facial contour.  Haven't had the patience to try out the tips but they do seem very smart.
What I Don't Like:
  • The eyeshadow brush is well, "too large" for me.  It's nice, I just wish it's smaller so I can use it to apply eyeshadow evenly.  Because of its size, it's better used as a blending brush rather than as an eyeshadow applicator.
  • Both blush brushes are kind'v small for my liking.  I wish they were atleast 20% bigger.

Over-all these are  good brushes for a beginner like myself. I purchased these primarily for use when I'm mobile as the brushes fit well in my purse.  (I just bring a smaller eyeshadow brush for touchups.)  Thank you Suesh for making these available. I am one satisfied costumer. **wink**wink** ;-)
