Review: Sonia Kashuk Black Domed Eyeshadow Brush

I am in love with my Sonia Kashuk Black Domed Eyeshadow brush. The bristles are dense and firm. I use this brush to add highlight under my brows and then to create a smooth transition by blending everything out. The bristles are also much softer than my Sonia Kashuk Large Crease brush (review). The head of the brush is wider and just a millimeter longer too, but it still fits on my eye really well.

I can't think of anything negative to say about this brush. It really is one of the best blending brushes out in the market. Not only is the application wonderful, but the packaging looks sleek too.

The length of the brush is 6.5 inches. I bought this at Target for $9.99.

Review: Coastal Scents Silver Duo Fiber Stippling Brush

The Coastal Scents Silver Duo Fiber Stippling brush is flimsy and not dense at all. The length of the brush is about 8.75 inches and costs $7.95. The white synthetic fibers are too short; therefore, applying liquid foundation is not ideal with the use of this brush. Moreover, it sheds like crazy. I've spent more time picking the hairs of the brush off my face rather than applying my foundation with this brush. I have also washed the brush a couple times, but it still keeps shedding every time I use it.

It works best for applying setting powder and super pigmented blushes because it doesn't pick up alot of product, but the shedding is frustrating. Maybe I'll just use it to dust my keyboard.

Review: Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush (Crease Shadow Brush)

The Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush (Crease Shadow Brush) is my holy grail blending brush. This is one of the best blending brushes I own. The length of the brush is 6 inches. The bristles are dense and firm, which is absolutely fabulous for blending as well as packing on color to the crease. The bristles are not as soft as my other brushes, such as my Studio Gear Blending Crease Brush #35 (review), but it is by no means scratchy.

The title of the brush is "Large," but don't let the name fool you. It is not a huge brush. It is the perfect size for the crease and for blending. This is my "go to" brush when I want a smokey effect or when I just need to get rid of harsh lines.

White handles tend to get dirty easily and I wouldn't want to clean it with water because water damages the wooden handle. So, the only thing that I have to complain about is the color of the brush. I prefer the handle to be black and sleek, like the ones from her professional line.  

The brush is $5.99 at Target, which is really affordable for such a high quality brush. I bought another one for backup.

Review: Studio Gear Blending Crease Brush #35



The Studio Gear Blending Crease Brush #35 is made from squirrel hair and is super soft. The bristles are firm and dense, but they're also shorter and less wider compared to my Sonia Kashuk Large Crease brush (review). Therefore, the Studio Gear brush is more for smudging, adding color on the crease area and inner corner.

The length of the brush is 7.5 inches. It can be purchased for $30 at a Studio Gear counter in Macy's. If you have money to splurge, I would definitely recommend this brush.
