I had received the Cameo contour brush in the recent BRBB and I was delighted to try this. It is quite compact for a brush, it has a silver handle and has slanted bristles. I was interested at how dense this brush was and wondered how it would go with applying my makeup.
I found it hard to use when I used powder contour kits, the brush would pick up the product with ease but applying it evenly was a hard task. I would be left with patches all over my skin, and blending the products out would either make them look muddy or patchy.
I really liked how dense this brush was and started using it to cream contour which I found so much easier to do! Using the angled tip to precisely products and blending it out was so much easier than using powder.
I also found this did a great job at applying liquid foundation, the brush is small but compact so you focus on small amounts of your face. It leaves a really flawless application.
Overall I would repurchase this brush but only for cream contouring or applying foundation. Using this brush to apply powdered contour was near impossible for me!
I was excited to see a brush in the beauty box. Upon opening I found a soft brush cut on a slight angle with lots of tightly packed bristles. I tried this brush for both blush and an attempt at a powder contour but I found that it left my face with harsh lines and looking too clownish! I found that because the bristles were so tight that the powder just sits on the top of the brush which most probably contributes to the harsh lines it creates. I then tried this brush for applying my powder foundation and I find that I love using it for this purpose! It buffs out my powder nicely giving good coverage and I will continue to use it for this purpose and leave my blush application to my lovely round blush brush! As its only $10 I'm not too disappointed that it didnt live up to its purpose- I'm quite happy to use it for my foundation. I also didnt have any bristles fall out so it seems like pretty good quality.
Tips: When using for blush or contour use a light hand and wipe off any excess onto your hand before applying as it does seem to apply the colour quite harshly! Experiment using it to apply different aspects of your makeup if its not working for you in the cheek department!
