Review: Coastal Scents Tapered Crease Eye Brush

Original C139 Brush
Original C139 Brush
I bought the Coastal Scents Tapered Crease Eye Brush about a year ago. The bristles are tapered and fits perfectly on the crease area. I loved this brush so much that I reordered 2 from Coastal Scents; however, this time, I received 2 different sizes. They are not the same as the original that I bought a year ago. The new brushes are too long and flimsy for blending. They are only good for applying color onto the crease.

I notice that this happened with a lot of the other brushes that I bought from Coastal Scents. No two brushes of the same model have the exact same shape and size.

The handle says "C139 Stiff Tapered Crease". The total length of the brush is 6 inches. It costs $2.49 on their online store

Review: Coastal Scents Chisel Fluff Large Shadow Brush

The Coastal Scents Chisel Fluff Large Shadow Brush is good for packing color onto your lids. The bristles are soft and it's a great brush for blending because it's firm and dense. 

I bought a couple of the same brushes, but all of them had different sizes. One brush had bristles that were thicker and fuller, while another brush was a little wider and the handle was a little longer than the rest. However, all of the brushes had no problems doing the same purpose of applying color to the lids and blending. 

The head of the brush, which is 1 centimeters long, fits really well on my lids. The total length of the brush is 5.5 inches. The handle says C153 Large Chisel Fluff. It costs $2.75 on their online store.

Review: Crown Brush Backstage S217 Round Contour Brush

The Crown Brush Backstage S217 Round Contour Brush is ideal for defining the outer v. It is soft, dense and stiff. You can also use this brush to blend, but I find it to be a little small. I would use this brush mainly for contouring and adding color to the outer corner.

The handle of the brush says "S217 Round Contour." The head of the brush is 1 centimeter long. The total length of the brush is 5.5 inches. It is small enough for travel. I bought this at CrownBrush.com for $1.87.

Review: Crown Brush Italian Badger 109 Chisel Fluff Brush



The Crown Brush Italian Badger 109 Chisel Fluff Brush is bigger than your average eyeshadow brush. It is too big for my lids. The head of the brush is about 2/3 of an inch long. The total length of the brush is 6 inches.

The bristles are really soft and fluffy, but not dense. It is also a tad bit flimsy and doesn't pick up color that well. I would suggest to use this brush if you want to apply a light wash of color onto your lids. I personally use this brush to apply highlight on my brow bone and to set concealer with powder under my eyes.

It costs $3.09 at CrownBrush.com Also, I love the packaging, especially the wooden handle.
