Review: ELF Studio Blusher Brush

I have been asked by a lot of people to review this since I got it back in November. Since I was in the mood to begin taking some brush photos, I thought I'd start with this one. I've done another post where I reviewed all the Studio brushes I had (before the blusher brush was released). It's a very long post, you can find it here.



The blush brush is available from eyeslipsface.co.uk for £3.50 (as with the other Studio brushes).

The bristles of this brush are synthetic (Taklon) but, like the Complexion and Powder brushes, feels like natural hair. It's very soft. It's also very densely packed and doesn't feel like a cheap brush at all. I've washed this quite a few times so far. It hasn't shed at all and drys quite quickly.

I have found this is a little small for me. Due to its size and the fact it's quite dense, I've found that I get a very heavy application of blusher when I use this brush. It will blend it out quite easily but I prefer to use the Complexion Brush for blusher, especially when I'm dealing with my more pigmented blushers. Actually, I think I need to buy another one of those as I like that one for powder as well as blusher.

However, I have found that this brush is very useful for adding a cheek highlight. Its small size and narrow tip means that it will apply a precise highlight to the top of my cheekbones.
