Get the info on: Stippling Brushes!

Brushes

I love stippling brushes.
The concept behind a stippling brush is to get an airbrush foundation application, every time, without the use of an airbrush compressor or airbrush makeup.
This basically makes the "airbrush look" available to even people like me in which cosmetics may not necessarily come in my fortnightly budget.

I have 3 of these types of brushes. By far I deem them as a very good investment.

There are in all honesty two different way to use the brush.
Honestly, it's up to you what is best for this type of brush, and technically you can use a brush for anything you damn well like.
I have even done competitions where you are only allowed to use one brush for a whole face! Seriously, but it did teach me that one brush can be used for multiple ways!
But here is my example from YouTube on how to get the best from your stippling/stipple/duo-fiber/skunk brush :)


Furless Cosmetics Makeup Brushes xx

Brushes

A few weeks ago, I got a message from the Furless team asking if I wanted to try a few of their brushes! I was more than excited to as I have heard a lot of good things about Furless.

Furless Cosmetics are cruelty free and vegan. Furless offers a great range of synthetic makeup brushes.

I received 3 makeup brushes.


Furless Brush no. PF3

So this is an angled blush brush.
I have not had much issue with this at all!
It is a beautiful brush, and it's not HUGE compared to some of the other brushes that I have for blush etc. I like the purple of the bristles, and it doesn't look weird what so ever with product on it.
It isn't overly dense, which I love in a blush brush. It picks up colour well, and best bit is, it is so soft for a blush brush!


Furless Brush no. PPF3

This is my least favorite brush of the 3.
I am not really a huge fan of duo-fiber brushes, nor the flat top face brushes anyways.
It doesn't blend to my expectation, and compared to a few other duo-fibers I have, it is quite small. If I were to use one, I would rather a larger one.


Furless Brush no. MF2

Last but not least my favorite brush.
The multi-purpose MF2 Brush.
I have already done a review on this brush which is viewable at:

And I have also used this brush in a demonstration of full coverage foundation, which is the video below:

I have yes been sent these 3 brushes by the company Furless cosmetics, but this does not change any opinions of the brushes. I have not been compensated to make a dishonest review.

Furless Brush no. MF2 xx

Brushes

Out of all 3 brushes sent to me by Furless, I think this one needs a post of it's own.
Sorry about the picture, I used it earlier so it still has product in it.

Now this is a multi-purpose brush which I think it is the perfect name for it.
If you seen my Youtube video earlier in the week on heavy coverage Foundation, then you would know that I love to use this for that.

This brush is amazing to use damp and with concealers and because of the pointed tip, it makes it so easy to get into the eye area and sides of the nose.

I prefer to use this with concealer, but you can use it with foundation, powder, blush, contouring, and even the eye area if you wish.

There are only three things I did not like with this brush.
It is very dense, which is good to work with, but a pain in the bum to clean, AND it has a very thick handle, which is good for control and grip, but I pick product up with the ends of my brush to put onto my palette or back of my hand. It's a real win/lose situation. My least favorite thing (which is why I left the brush dirty) is that when product is still on it, it looks like a really feral colour. I think pastel teal green and foundation colours do not go well haha. Nothing major, but a little on the annoying side.

Also this brush is cruelty free, and vegan. :)
And since they are synthetic brushes, they are perfect for liquids as the bristles wont hold bacteria, so it will wash all the yucky straight out, and they are great to use damp.

I do recommend using synthetic brushes damp mainly when working with a liquid product, this is to prevent product wastage, as they will retain liquids like no tomorrow. If you use it dry, it will be something to learn with control of how much product you pick up. When synthetic brushes are dry, they will absorb your liquid products like no tomorrow. That is something I learnt from the Rae Morris books.

This brush, is also a bargain price at only $10.
You can purchase it on the Furless Website.

Yes this brush was sent to me by Furless Cosmetics.
Furless does understand that I will be giving my honest opinion and nothing other than that.
The above opinion is of my own and no one else's.
I was not told what to say, or how to use it best.
This is purely my OWN opinion.

Pointed Foundation Brush xx

Brushes


A few of you are probably reading this thinking, "What the hell?"
The first time I heard of a Pointed Foundation Brush I was the same.

The Pointed Foundation Brush is slightly different to the traditional Oval Foundation brush, as it is designed to get into skinnier areas, like the sides of the nose, and has an innovative tip which replicates the use of a finger to apply foundation. It allows for precise application of Cream, Liquid and Powder products.

As this type of brush can be difficult to find, one of the best ones I know of, is The Jemma Kidd Make-Up School, Pointed Foundation Brush. which is available at www.beautybay.com
Which is shown above in the middle.

But for those who are from America, The E.L.F Store has a cheap Pointed Foundation Brush.

US $3.00 at E.L.F Online Store

Also, you apply your Foundation exactly the same as an oval brush, only the brush is slighly different, and you will have extra precision and blendability!

Shopping Day - On Behalf of my Birthday! xx

Bluebird
Today I took a little trip over to Warni as I had a TAFE Open Day.
I took a look at an amazing course, and had a look around the facilities. It was fab.
Whilst there I took the chance to catch up with my last Make-Up Teacher, Stace. Knowing typical Stace, and being full of surprises, she had a little gift for me, since I placed first in a contest with TAFE. I love gifts :) x



For winning first place I received this little bundle of Napoleon Perdis Joy!
As you can tell, it is filled with Goodies!


It came with a notepad and pencil. A few samples (pictured above)... and of course, (if you follow our Facebook and Twitter, you'd already know..) A brand new brush set! (pictured below)


I must say, these brushes were well needed as my last ones were on the way out!
They came in a cute little zip shut pocket brush holder, amazingly it fold up to be a cute little stand. I think it's adorable, and I'm not 100% sure, but it is either a leather or fake leather :) so it's definitely a cutie pie of a holder! BEST PRIZE EVER!


Of course, whilst in town.. I took a little bargain hunt around the mall!
I got these cute little cheapies above from Kmart! I love the colour and they are fairly comfy!


I brought a cheap as eyelash curler from K-Mart as well!
I needed one so I hit it cheap! Isn't actually a bad eyelash curler for $8 :) xx 


And whilst on a visit, I took a stop into Strangbags, and got this cute little Handbag for roughly $37.00 on Sale! It's by a brand named Bluebird, which I have brought a hundred purses and bags from! Such a great quality for a low price :) Oh and adorable! Did I mention that? haha
