This is one
brush that has been talked and raved about a lot which is the reason I got it
but I was disappointed! I usually love ELF brushes as they are cheap,
affordable and good quality but not this one!
What does ELF say about it?
This new antibacterial, synthetic haired
Taklon brush is softer and more ansorbent and can be used with wet or dry
products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this
e.l.f. Studio brush!
The layered bristles create a soft
airbrushed look that's perfect for applying foundation or adding colour
definition to cheekbones or highlighting with soft layers. Use this brush with
any liquid or powder face product such as foundation, blush or bronzer to build
your coverage from sheer to heavy.
Now the main
aim of this brush is to stipple on your foundation and to buff and blend your
foundation into your skin for a ‘soft airbrushed look’. For me though this brush is too soft and
flimsy to stipple anything into your skin let alone your foundation. It’s a
really soft brush which is nice but it’s too soft for its use, if you apply
even a tiny bit too much pressure the brush bristles start to bend out too
much. From reviews I have watched/read I think the ELF Powder brush would be a
better option for a stipple/buffing brush.
Also ELF
have recently hiked their prices up so instead of this brush being £3.50 it’s
not £3.75!
I do have
one positive thing about this brush though which is the reason I have kept it.
I use it to blend out cream blushers. It’s hopeless at applying them but it
does a brilliant job of softening them! At least I have one use for it!
What do you think of the stipple brush?
Thanks for

If I don’t
reply to your comments at all or not straight away it’s because I am currently
on holiday!
I agree, this brush is useless for foundation. I've had mine about a year and still not used it yet. Its worth spending more and getting something like the real techniques stipple brush, its fab for foundation! hope your enjoying your holiday lovely x
