Part II: e.l.f. Studio Line - Brushes
Topic: Brushes

I'm addicted to brushes and can never seem to have enough.  If you read yesterday's post, you know that I've previously found ALL of e.l.f.'s brushes to be horrible save one: the eyeshadow brush.  It was with a heavy heart that I tried the new Powder and Complexion Brushes and thank goodness I did.

These new brushes are made with the synthetic material, Taklon, giving them an extremely soft feel.  The hairs are densely packed - so even though the fibers are soft on the face, they are stiff enough to give you good color placement.  As for length, they are in the "sweet zone," not too long and not too short, just right. Here, you can see them next to a MAC 129 (my everyday blush brush) for reference:

The powder brush is perfect for those who use powder foundations as it provides full "doll face" coverage.  I absolutely love this and will be buying a few more .  The Complexion Brush is less spectacular, but still pretty good.  This gives a more natural finish, earthy, finish and would look great for those who use finishing powder or MSF Naturals for foundation.  To clarify, Complexion Brush = Day Makeup, Powder Brush = Night Makeup (unless you're from the South, where we love our "doll face.")

As with everything in the Studio Line, the brushes are only $3. I can't get over it.  As I type this, I remain stunned.  These are really, REALLY good.  They hold up well after washing and are also 100% recyclable.  You can get these from eyeslipsface.com, but remember to use the code CAROLINA for 50% off.  Shipping took about a week and was around $5.  Get these, they're great!
