HUUUGE review! E.L.F brushes..

The other day i washed all of my make-up brushes at about 5pm, at about 8pm when i started getting ready for work, i realised to my horror, that ALL of my brushes were still wet!! Luckily my housemate kathryn came to the rescue with a full set of BRAND NEW ELF brushes that she had never used... cue some serious testing for blogland!!


(once again, credit to veritys AMAZING camera!)

I used (Left to right on the picture) eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush, defining eye brush, eyeshadow blending brush, concealer brush, foundation brush, bronzing&blending brush, and total face brush to do the make up i have on in the photo (im wearing heavy make up because i was going to work and 5 hours under the hot lights of a bar is make-up hell!!) so anyway, review time!

Eyeshadow brush - really soft, fantastic application, picks up just the right amount of product and has minimal fallout, didnt shed on first use, easy to clean - 10/10

Eyeliner brush - a bit difficult to work with, not as soft as the eyeshadow brush, precise application but hard to get a thin line, easy to clean - 8/10

Defining eye brush - fantastic for crease and outer v work, also very easy to blend with, very soft and precise, easy to clean - 10/10

Eyeshadow blending brush - not as dense as the others but very precise, soft, extremely easy to work with, blends V.V.V.V well, easy to clean - 9/10

Concealer brush - I LOVEEEEEE THIS!!!!! the bristles on this are short so you just pat the concealer on with it and it gives PERFECT application, its extremely easy to work with and i used about half of the concealer i would normally use as it doesnt absorb the product, VERY easy to use and clean, so much so that ive ordered one for myself!! 100/10!!

Foundation brush - same as the concealer brush, has bristles that are slightly shorter than other foundation brushes so it gives really precise, flawless application, sooo lovely and soft! 100,000,000/10!

Bronzing&blending brush - this was AMAZING for contouring but i dont think it blends very well, very soft and easy to use and also easy to clean - 9/10

Total Face brush - the bristles are a tiny bit too long on this so buffing my powder in was quite difficult but it was easy to work with and really soft :) - 7/10!

i love these brushes and for about £1.50-£2 a pop they are INCREDIBLE!! i would definately recommend them to everyone :)
