  • extended aluminum handles are light and easy to use
Before I begin with the individual reviews, I’ll like to mention that the lengths of these brushes are really good. They fit into my hands easily, allowing me to work easily. They are also light in weight. 

Buffing Brush: This is my most used brush out of all the four. It’s quite a dense brush. I use it for blending out my liquid and cream foundation. And, it works brilliantly! I have a face with unforgiving acne scars and open pores. It not just blends my foundation seamlessly but also minimizes my pores to a great extent. This effect is majorly because it’s very dense and quite fluffy. I also use it sometimes for applying powder on my face when I need a softer coverage from my powder. The size is such that it fits easily into my hands. When the dollar value depreciates, I’m going to buy more of this brush!

Contour Brush: I love this brush! The bristles are very soft and the density of the brush is such that it fits right onto the hollow of my cheeks which works great for contouring my face. I also use it to apply highlighter on my cheekbones and then, blend it. It works good there too. This also works great for using and blending out the cream blushes because its dense. When I use this for contouring with a powder base, I use kabuki brush afterwards for a seemless finish. This is because it’s not very fluffy, so application is not fully upto the mark. But still, this I heart this brush a lot! 
Pointed Foundation Brush: This is my least favourite out of all.  When I used this with liquid foundation, the result was a little streaky. Also, since it’s small, it was too time consuming for using as a foundation brush all over the face. The thing with this brush is even if I use it to conceal/apply foundation, I need another brush to buff over, so as to diminish the streaky lines created with it
Detailer Brush:  Although this brush is nice, I have hardly used it. It’s nice for working in areas where you need specific concealing. It also works nicely for filling in the lipstick after you have lined your lips.
Out of all, I totally love Buffing brush and Contour Brush. And, these are worth their price!
And, just see the beautiful black casing!


Highly Recommended! 
Price: $18

PS: I had bought these brushes around 2 months back from “iherb” website along with some other brushes. My total bill was for Rs.2300 and I had to pay Rs.1700 as customs duty!!

  4. Haha 😛

    I Purchased These 2 Months Back 😛 😀

    For Nose Contouring, It Would Work Only For Lining

    Yeah, It Will Work For Concealing, I Included That 🙂

    I Like To Use Fluffy Brushes For Blending Part, So It's Ones Own Personal Choice 🙂

    You Should Get These 😛 😀

  13. As Far As I Know Vipra, They Accept Only Credit Card!

    Yes! Imagine! 1700 Custom! My Bill Was For Rs.2300-2400

    You can Try "FeelUnique" If You Want. They Have Free Delivery Worldwide But Then These Brushes Cost Double The Amount There!! Weird Logic!

    Thanks a Ton! 🙂

  22. packaging is very good, and what I liked most is that these are synthetic. I hate using someone hair on my face. Color combination of bristle and handles are good too.

  24. Last night I was comparing prices between iherb & feelunique and there was a huge difference. feelunique's prices vary(expensive) by as much as $10. Even with the customs, iherb is cheaper 😉
