e.l.f. Blending Brush

Although this is a brush for blending eye shadow I use this daily for applying highlight on my cheek bones as I like the natural shine, this brush is soft and perfect to apply this evenly, as I tend to find other brushes for highlight are too big for my face shape. Not only does this brush perform well but it does not look out of place in my brush pot with its sleek all black look

I like most of the Elf Makeup Brushes. The are pretry sturdy and do what they are designed to do. I wash them maybe once ever couple weeks and when they aren't performing as I like, the prices are so good, I just replace them with new ones.

This blending brush has many uses. I use it to apply eye shadow. The bristles are close together, but are still soft. I can blend my eyes shadow well and it makes my makeup look great.

This little brush, at first glance, actually looks like a shader brush but upon closer inspection it's two great tools in one. The bristles a cut in such a way allowing it to pack on color like your favorite shader but unlike most shaders it also blends & buffs beautifully. Not sure what name I would give this brush because it definitely multi purpose. Will be ordering a few more.

I have 3 or 4 if these, and I am considering getting a few more so that I have separate brushes for color families, glittery and matte, and a few backups. I have always found the eyeshadow "C" brush to be too stiff for even color application, especially for lids. This brush is what the "C" brush should be for color application to browbone and lids. I also use this regularly for crease application, and it can be used for blending, but is a bit big for people with smaller eyes. Please don't stop making this brush, e.l.f.

I have small hooded eyes. This brush is perfect for putting the transition color in the crease and blending up. I also use it in my outer corner of my lid. I have more expensive sigma brushes (E40 & E35) I bought for this purpose, but I find myself always reaching for the ELF blending brush. It is much easier to use AND I only use this one ELF blending brush (instead of 2 sigma brushes) and so it saves me time too.

I am a beginner with makeup, and this is my second e.l.f. brush! This brush is great for base color application, blending, and building up color in the crease. It hasn't shed at all, and it's so soft! As a beginner, I was a little unsure at first, but it blew me away. I will definitely be buying more pro e.l.f. brushes in the future!

I got this makeup brush a while ago, and it hasn't shed at the least bit. I use this brush everyday and it blends eye-shadow AMAZING! It's really easy to clean and is easy to move around in the crease of the eye, above the crease, and even to blend shadow on the lid of the eye. And it is also really easy to grip the brush. I would recommend this brush to ANYONE!

I didn't expect this brush to last well as it has, it hasn't shed any hairs in the year I've owned it. But this brush is more flat than round, like a very fluffy shader brush, which makes it work very well in the crease. Turning it sideways so that the tapered sides are vertical rather than horizontal gives you the blend that you might have been expecting based on the picture.

Honestly, I got this brush because whenever I see a new item from "e.l.f." - I buy it, even if I don't necessarily need it. :) I have tons of brushes (low and high end), but I do have my all-time favorites from “e.l.f.” that I always seem to go back to. So I figured, why not? You absolutely need this brush if you do any kind of crease work and especially if you are a fan of smoky eyes or gradient eyeshadows! This brush is very unique because not only is it tapered, but it is also pinched on the sides. I included some pictures with this review, so you could (hopefully) get a better idea of its shape. Please excuse the dirty bristles; I literally use it every single day. I personally always deepen up my crease just a bit. In my opinion, it gives a bit more dimension to the eye, even if you are wearing almost no makeup at all. On those days, I just use a color about a shade darker than my skin tone. So I used to always use the MAC 239 for that purpose. When I discovered this particular blending brush from “e.l.f.”, there was no going back to the 239. Not even once! The bristles on this brush are very soft and extremely well tapered from all sides. It's a bit thinner and less squared off than the MAC 239. Because it's thinner, more tapered and softer (in my opinion), it fits much better in the crease and feels unbelievably gentle on your skin. I find that its shape is perfect for deepening up your crease because you can manage not to blend out the color too far out (since the brush is thin), but yet you do incorporate that little bit of depth in your crease and it blends in so effortlessly. Although you definitely can bring the color out as far as you need to; I just personally prefer to use this brush specifically for the crease line. And I love that it's thin but the “fluffy” kind of thin if that makes sense. It's just a very elegant, unique brush and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
