Last weekend I was out of state and forgot all my makeup brushes, except my ELF Angled Foundation Brush from my recent huge ELF haul. And I was stunned to see just how versatile the perfectly angled, synthetic haired Taklon brush is.
It did several things that impressed me:
- Powder went on with ease and a more natural look – my big powder brush can distribute too much on a spot, but this brush let me just put on what I needed where I needed it.
- It picked up just the right amount of powder each time, from several types of powder consistency (translucent, blush, eyeshadow, contour, highlighter, etc)
- It behaves like a real artist’s brush. What I was especially wowed by is that I could get all angles of my face with ease, just with the one brush. It hugged my face just as well when I was putting on blush as when I was contouring the sides and tip of my nose, just with a slight, intutive turn of the wrist. If you are new to makeup or contouring, I would recommend this brush even just to get the hang of how you are supposed to apply it to different areas.
- It can be used wet, so it’s great if you want to add more intensity to a color.
- Blending is a breeze
I’m actually fairly pleased I forgot my other brushes so I could experiment with this MacGyver of a brush. And for a mere $3.00, you can keep one in your purse as well as at home!
