little white truths

Verdict

Just so it's been said, I find this impossible to use as a crease brush: it's far too big for that. If you can successfully manage to use this as a crease brush, you must be a magician because any review I've read of this brush has said it's rubbish for the crease but good for other things. I completely agree.

That aside, I use this brush every day and love it. It's the brush I reach for when I apply my base eyeshadow: no other brush I own gives a fine, even wash of colour like this one does. And it gives that colour quickly, due to its larger size. Plus it's easy to fade out the colour with this brush so you're not left with any harsh lines. Honestly, it's foolproof - which means a lot for those of us who are time-poor and can't spend ages blending their eyeshadows.

It's my second favourite brush in the set (the Accent Brush beats it, just) and it's not only good for applying your base eyeshadow: because it's dense, it's also good for smudging/smoking out lines if you're after a softer look, which I usually am.

It's small enough that you can use it for setting concealer, and large enough that it gets the job done quickly with very little effort. I've also used it for powder higlighter on my cheekbones, when I want to soften any edges and make sure my powder is blended well.

I've seen others say that it's great for cream eyeshadows and concealers too, although I tend to use brushes only for powder and use my fingers for any cream or gel products, so I can't really comment on that particular function.

In sum, this is a great little tool - although I'd be surprised if many people can successfully use it as a crease brush!
