I picked this brush up at Sally Beauty Supply. It's definitely a larger sized angle brush. I can't use it for contouring, because it is too large for my face for that purpose. The bristles are soft, and have held their shape through many washings. Some of the dye came out in the first wash, but after that it was fine. It shed a few hairs the first few times I used it, but since then it hasn't lost any. This applies product and blends it well. It didn't have any odd smells to it or anything. I would definitely repurchase this brush
Pros:Applies and blends well, soft bristles, holds up to being washed, price Cons:Too big for contouring
This line of brushes are carried at Sally Beauty Supply. They are quite affordable. It is made with natural(goat I believe) hair. The brush feels good in your hand and is easy to use. I have been pleased with all my other Face Secrets brushes, up until this one. At first the bristles felt quite soft. After time though, they have begun to feel a bit rough. None of my other brushes have had that issue. When I first washed it some of the black color came out, but after that first wash it was fine. It has held it's shape through many washings. It sheds. A lot. I have had this brush for quite some time, and the shedding still hasn't stopped. I do not recommend this brush, and I am currently looking to replace it.
Pros:Price, holds it shape Cons:Doesn't stay soft, sheds like mad
I picked this up along with the Shadow Blender brush from Sally Beauty. I loved the other brush as much as this one. It's made from soft, natural pony hair. It has held up to lots of washings, and remains soft and continues to hold it's shape. It applies products smoothly, and the handle is comfortable to hold. It feel and looks very well made. It is a fairly good size, so it is not ideal for detail work. Love this brush!
Pros:Soft, maintains shape and softens through many washings, price, durability, etc. Cons:None!
I picked up this brush at Sally Beauty, hoping for a good quality brush at an affordable price. I felt like I hit the jackpot with this brush. The bristles are natural pony hair, and extremely soft. I have washed them countless times, and the hair has remained very soft. The handle is very comfortable to hold. It applies shadow extremely well. It has a wide coverage area, so I use it either to add my highlight along the brow bone or working with one color to add color to just above my crease. It is too big for much else. I can't say enough good things about these brushes. I want more!
Pros:Soft, well made, affordable, good application Cons:None!
