Review: Crown Brush Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush

The Crown Brush Italian Badger Angle Blush brush is perfect for contouring, applying blush and bronzer. I mainly use it for setting concealer with powder under my eyes. However, like the other Italian Badger brushes, it's a little bit scratchy.

It is also important to note that after a few uses, the handle broke. I had to use super glue to attach it back together.

The total length of the brush is 6.5 inches long. The handle says "IB106 Angle Blush." It costs $7.09 at CrownBrush.com

Review: Coastal Scents Italian Badger Blush Brush

The Coastal Scents Italian Badger Blush Brush is too big for applying blush and for contouring. 

The bristles are not too dense or too flimsy, but can be a little bit scratchy. I personally use this brush to apply setting powder. I prefer to use the Coastal Scents Italian Badger Buffer brush (review) when I want more coverage.

The total length of the brush is 7.5 inches. The handle says "IB126 Chisel Blush."  It costs $8.99 on their online store.

Update: Coastal Scents discontinued this brush, but you can still buy it from Crown Brush for $9.24. It's called the Italian Badger Series IB126 Chisel Blush Brush.

Review: Tarte Easy Crease Brush

The bristles are dense, firm and super soft, just like my Sonia Kashuk Black Domed Eyeshadow brush (review). It picks up alot of color, but the color doesn't disperse well on my crease because it creates a thin harsh line. I then have to grab another brush to blend everything out because the bristles don't blend out my crease color that well. I find that it works best for defining the outer v.


The handle is a deep purple, eggplant shade and has a nice grip because it is thick. The brand is engraved on the silver ferrule.

The total length of the brush is just a bit over 5 inches. It is small enough to fit in your makeup travel bag.

It costs $16.00 at Tarte

Review: Coastal Scents Italian Badger Buffer Brush Large

I use the Coastal Scents Italian Badger Buffer Brush Large to apply setting powder. The head of the brush is short and dense; therefore, it buffs mineral foundation into the skin very well.

However, the bristles of the Italian Badger Buffer brush are a little scratchy and sheds like crazy during the first wash. It now sheds a little bit from time to time.

The handle of the brush says "IB103 Flat Bronzer." The total length of the brush is 6 inches. It costs $11.95 on their online store. 

Update: Coastal Scents discontinued this brush, but you can still buy it from Crown Brush for $10.95. It's called the Italian Badger Series IB103 Flat Bronzer Brush.

Review: Studio Tools Smudge Brush

The Studio Tools Smudge brush is smaller than your average eyeshadow brush, but this may be perfect for someone with smaller eye lids. The head of the brush is a little bit longer than half a centimeter, and is flat and a little bit stiff, while the bristles are soft. It is good for applying eyeshadow under your waterline and for smudging your eyeliner. I personally use this for packing color onto my lids.

I've seen this brush with a silver ferrule on other blogs, but I could only find the one with the black ferrule at my local Target for $2.49. The total length of the brush is 5.5 inches. This is great for someone who's just starting out with makeup or if you are on a tight budget.
