If you're anything like me, you've watched countless beauty gurus on YouTube gushing over their Mac 266 or their Sigma F80, just to pick your jaw up off the floor when a quick search shows these brush collections can run well over $100!
Don't get me wrong, I'm cosmetically obsessed and have been known to pay crazy amounts for certain items, but when I find an alternative that performs just as fantastic, at a fraction of the price, I'm all over it!
After hearing some great things, I went online and ordered the e.l.f. Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection.
It costs $30 and basically includes everything you need for your everyday looks, including:
Eyeshadow "C" Brush
Complexion Brush
Small Angled Brush
Small Smudge Brush
Fan Brush
Powder Brush
Angled Foundation Brush
Concealer Brush
Small Precision Brush
Blush Brush
Contouring Brush
..and is all packed in a sturdy, zippered, water-resistant black case.
I'm in love with these brushes! The handles are well-made and very comfortable to hold, not to mention look very pricey and high end. The bristles are glossy, full and have not shed a single hair.
I especially love the flat top powder brush, it blends liquid foundation to an unbelievably perfect, airbrush finish! The smaller precision brushes have helped give a neater, more perfect application no matter which look I'm trying to create.
I already own a bunch of the e.l.f. essentials brushes, and the difference is incredible. I was shocked at how soft these are, I promise you'll spend extra time powdering just to feel them glide across your face.
In conclusion, I will NEVER spend hoards of money on expensive brushes again, I couldn't be more pleased with these and definitely plan to purchase a few more sets!
Head on over to e.l.f. and check them out for yourself!
I'm curious, which brushes are your favourites?
