WHAT IT IS
The Illuminate Pretty in Pink Brush set is a set of four hand-crafted, vegan brushes.
The Details
The Pretty in Pink Brushes have long tapered handles. They have a nice grip and weight that makes them easy to keep a steady hand while using them.
The brush set includes:
- Fan (for highlighting + strobing). The fan is seen at the bottom of the picture below. Perfect for top of the cheek highlight or collarbone highlight.
- Tapered Kabuki (for buffing + contouring liquid or cream). The tapered Kabuki (top right) holds creamy liquid foundations well. Also very useful as a buffer to blend contour products. It is firmer and denser than the pointed powder.
- Pointed Powder (for setting + diffusing) The pointed is also top right, facing right. Just light enough for a final dusting and blending. It is fluffier and lighter than the Kabuki with more give.
- Angled Contouring (a blending brush + for contour) is seen in the middle. More about this one below.
The set has long easy to grip handles.
ANGLED BRUSH
I particularly like the angled contouring brush. It is stiff enough with just enough bend to get right into the hollow and define with precision. The bristles are soft and not scratchy. It works with powder or cream blushes and contours and gets the placement right the first time. If you have a hard time getting blush or cheek contour placed just where you want it, the Angled brush gets the job done.

Fan Brush
The fan brush delivers a particularly precise, thin placement of product, just the right delicate touch for shimmery products like metallics or highlighters. Note the wispy bristle ends for a delicate kiss of product.

BRISTLE QUALITY
The brushes have well-packed bristles that don’t shed, even with excess blending. The bristles are fluffy and soft, but firm enough to precisely pack and deliver powder, cream or liquid product.
The components are solidly constructed.
soft, yet tightly packed bristles pick up powders well and blend
Favorite Features
They are pink! Not only do these brushes look pretty on our vanity, but the bristles are soft, of good quality and don’t shed. The handles have a good long length to grip well and they each have a nice counterweight feel to balance.

Zoey Fox says
FINALLY! It’s actually really hard to find vegan brushes.
Style Chicks says
Hi Zoey! Yes! These vegan brushes are soft and not at all scratchy.
Arianna Paul says
I like that the angle brush works with cream formulas. I have to replace brushes all the time that I use for cream, and I really don’t want to use my fingers in blush.
Style Chicks says
Hi Arianna!
We love that too, plus no bristle fallout. I hate blending creams only to get a loose bristle stuck on my face.
