NicaBell Review: ELF Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection

Hello you!

I would like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin to all Muslims. I am unable to go out for Hari Raya to my friends and relatives house today because my cough is killing me!

So I bought my ELF Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection from Syiok Sendiri Sisters (Oh! Bless them!) as I have been wanting to have a complete set of makeup brush. I did own some brushes from TBS but not the whole range. And I previously use finger in makeup application.

Brand: ELF (Eyes.Lips.Face)

Made in: China (I think. Thus the cheap price tag.)

Range: Studio line.

Pricing: SSS opened the pre-order spree for RM95. Pretty cheap for 11 piece of good brushes I tell you.

Texture: The hair is soft. The bristles that suppose to be soft is comfortably soft; the firm ones are nicely firm. 

Application: Let me explain each brushes for better understanding. 

ELF Studio - Complexion Brush

Love	No Love
~ I blame this brush because I do not reach to my TBS Face&Body Brush anymore. This one is soft but a bit firmer than the TBS.	~ If you are one of the peeps that pat your powder with your brush, this brushes is a bit pokey. Ouch! Itchy..

ELF Studio - Fan Brush 

~ This is one of the brushes existed that I don't know what to do with. A friend said it can be used for blusher, but there is a blush brush in this collection. To remove eye shadow fallouts on the cheek, okay perhaps. Bronzer, err... to thin for that? If you know what does this brush use as, please do tell me.


ELF Studio - Concealer Brush

Love	No Love
~ Firm. ~ Good for cream and liquid concealer & eye shadow. Not so much for any powder product.	~ I found no fault in this brush.

ELF Studio - Angled Foundation Brush

Love	No Love
~ Soft ~ Nice work for liquid foundation but haven’t try on cream yet. ~ The angled built is good for applying angled and small area like the side of the nose	~ None that I found.

ELF Studio - Powder Brush

Love	No Love
~ Firm and soft ~ Good for stippling, buffing, shading and blending the foundation onto the skin. ~ Not pokey.	~ Just the name. Someone at ELF should change the name from Powder Brush to Kabuki brush.

ELF Studio - Blush Brush

Love	No Love
~ Soft. ~ Good for cream and powder blusher. ~ Smaller than any blusher I have seen but works well enough.	~ None that I found.

ELF Studio - Smudge Brush

Love	No Love
~ Small & firm ~ Good for applying cream, gel and powder product. ~ Smudging eyeliner is effortless. ~ Small tip able to reach smaller area like inner corner of the eyes.	~ None that I found.

ELF Studio - Eyeshadow C Brush

Love	No Love
~ Good for all wet and dry product. ~ The bristle is big so good for applying eye shadow.	~ None that I found.

ELF Studio - Contour Brush

Love	No Love
~ Soft ~ Contouring job is great. ~ only tried on dry product but works great.	~ If you push the bristles to a side, you can see the inner part of the feral. Seems like some cheap brush.

ELF Studio - Angled Brush

Love	No Love
~ Soft & firm. ~ Good with both wet & dry product. ~ I have two of this brush so yay! On can be use for eyeliner and the other one for brows!	~ I have two that means I do not own the precision brush. Boo-hoooo!

ELF Studio - Brush Case

Water resistant and look quite nice. All black so no worries of dirt to show.

Overall, I am satisfied with the brushes. I give it 4.9 out of 5. lack of 0.1 point just because I do not own the precision brush. I really want to know what that do^^

Till next time.

xoxo
