The light and fluffy texture of the fibers of this brush make it great for blending as well as applying.

I use it to blend my eyeshadows and it's amazing. It really does do the job. No complaints from this happy gal over here.

answer 4

I use several colors of eye shadow each day and use this brush for the entire application. I am able to blend colors together with this brush, but at the same time it does not over blend. Meaning one color does not over take the other. It's a great brush and good quality for the price. The best part is it does not shed its bristles and it holds the powder without flaking. Hope that helps! =)

I use this brush with my MAC eyeshadows and it works great..it sometimes picks up a lot of shadow so just make sure you tap it out before putting it on

I would say it might take out more shadow than blend. If i ever have a harsh line, it works pretty well in blending it out. But try blending with it softly and see how you like the result.

Question

Size

how large/small is the area of just the hairs?? and are the hairs more loose than packed together (like concealer brushes)??? I'm looking for a brush that I can use for areas like under my eyes for my regular pressed powder foundation so the bristles are better loose in a way like the bigger brushes, i need to bring it to college :)

For foundation for the entire face, you are going to need a much bigger brush. The light and fluffy texture of the fibers make it great for powder application, and if you are just using foundation under your eyes, then this brush would be fine, as long as it is powder foundation and not liquid.

answer 2

This is more of a blender brush and has fluffy soft hairs. I'd say you need a thinner 'concealer brush type' but with soft hairs so you can use a powder concealer. The brush you need has to be soft enough to pick up the powder while at the same time shaped with more precision for application as a concealer.

It's pretty small, but the perfect size for under your eyes. The hairs are loose, nothing like a concealer brush, and it picks up product really well. The brush itself is fairly small, so it'll fit almost anywhere.

I think the bristle are loose enough and not packed as tightly together as a smudge brush. Even though they are some what loose they don't allow the product to flake from the brush. The brush does not loose its bristles either. I think this would be a perfect brush for concealer. Hope that information helps. =)

this should work great for what youre looking for. They are packed together, but not stiff, and the head is large enough to apply shadow to your lid quickly and evenly, but not too big for undereye applications. Id say its perfect

I don't think this would be a good pressed powder brush. I would look at the tiny concealer brush from MAC for that.

answer 8

The hairs are soft and loose, and I don't put shadow under my eyes but it seems to me like it would be a bit hard to do it with this brush, it might be a bit too thick to get under your lashes. For me, when I close my eyes, the width of the brush reaches from just above my lashes to just below the crease. Its not very wide, but it's good for eyeshadow.

Unless you can use something to completely sterilize that brush, I wouldn't risk it.

No, its fine if you just cleanse it with a some alcohol.
Most brush cleansers actually have alcohol in them anyways.
So, there is no need to throw it away...I promise ya!
But, do not continue to use your liners, mascaras, or eye shadows, that made any type of contact with your eyes. Hope this helps ;)

although antibacterial soap shouldl suffice, it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to getting pink eye (even if it is viral). I had viral as well from a cold, and I still threw out anything that had come into contact with my eyes for the previous few days, since it may have been in your eyes prior to actually showing symptoms

If you washed the brush thoroughly with a anti-bacterial or disinfecting soap it should have killed all the bacteria.

Hot soapy water should do the trick. No need to throw out the brish. And if you really want to play it safe throw the brush in the diswasher, it will disinfect it. It may become discoloured but atleast you don't need to buy another one.

You should definitely throw away. In fact throw away all of your eye make up. You might not have gotten it from this brush, you could have gotten it from, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow... anything that touched your eyes. You should change out your mascara every 3 months and your eye makeup every 6 months.

This brush really provides a nice even coating, but I find myself using more and more eye shadow to make it darker. It doesn't seem to 'stick' to the product very well. I'd give it a 6/10 on the picking up part.

I've noticed that this brush picks up my Korres eyeshadows REALLY well, but has a tougher time with the Sephora brand eyeshadows. A more synthetic brush seems to work better with that brand. (Or it could be that Korres isn't packed in as tight?)

applies great - I get full coverage, although I use a shadow base sometimes, TooFaced Shadow Insurance, but even without it I get perfect even coverage, the best part it is the color doesnt "drip" or fall down onto my cheeks.

This is a very soft brush meant mostly for dry application, and I would not recommend it for cream or gel shadows. You will need a brush with stiffer bristles (usually synthetic).
