Cameo Angled Contour Brush Review

I received this in the most recent BRBB and was a little excited to say the least as I'm forever trying to find that one brush that is the right size and density for my cheek area as I have a small framed faced most blush brushes are too big and I end up with product all over the place.

Packaging, well this isn't much packaging to a brush other than it's handle makeup which is a silver toned grey plastic solid number with a silver tone metallic barrel attaching the soft camel brown toned bristles that are short but densely packed.

Being short but angled with the bristles all gathering into a tight circle I found that although the brush is designed for contouring it worked brilliantly as a cheek blush applicator and highlighter for strobing. Soft bristles means your don't have to work really hard to get a nice even blend and deposit a good coverage of colour.

I didn't encounter any fall out or poking from bristles, there is no harshness to it at all. After washing it at the weekend there was no movement or loosening of bristles and none fell out. It quite happily kept its shape during wash and whilst drying. Making it as good as new.

Highly impressed from such a low end priced company would recommend.

I received this cool brush in the September Beauty Box and was excited to try a new brush. I don’t use brushes all that much and was keen to try one to apply the lovely foundation that also came in the beauty box.

It comes on a cardboard backing and covered with a strip of plastic. That’s ample packaging in my opinion.

I find the interesting angled shape, fabulous for applying foundations. It is also a good shape for contouring and it easily and quickly blends product into my skin. It is very soft and feathery on the skin, and doesn’t irritate.

The brush itself feels quite good quality, and washes and dries easily, without losing it’s shape.

I note that it retails at $10. This is a good price, and has prompted me to go and look for other brushes in the range.

Yes, I would buy it again, and yes, I do recommend this product to others.

I love makeup brushes, so it was really exciting to see this in my BRBB, especially given it’s from an inexpensive and easily found brand. So far it’s actually surpassed expectations, although I’m using it differently to how the name suggests.

In terms of how this looks and feels it definitely isn’t super luxurious – simple silver plastic handle, metal ferrule, and tan synthetic bristles. It’s not super heavy, but the bristles are nice and soft. However, it’s not ugly, it’s just no-fuss, which is fine by me.

I tried using this for contouring, but I prefer using a really fluffy brush so I don’t pick up too much product. I found this, while being a nice shape and size to fit in the hollows of my cheeks (or at least where they should be if I had any haha), was pretty dense, and meant that I had to blend heaps and heaps to get my bronzer/contour shade diffused enough for my liking. I did use it a few times for applying highlighter, which I liked, but again, I already have brushes I like to use for that.

The way I’ve really loved using this is as a foundation brush. The angled flat top means that I can buff liquid foundation out really quickly and easily, and the synthetic bristles mean it doesn’t soak up too much product. I have been really impressed in that it doesn’t leave any brush streaks whatsoever, and to be honest, I’ve enjoyed the finish even more than the one I get when I use my RT buffing brush (shock horror!). Using this brush, I can apply my foundation perfectly even more quickly than if I use my fingers.

I’ve cleaned this a number of times now, using my Bossy brush cleaning kit, and I haven’t experienced any bristles falling out. It does take a wee while to dry, because the bristles are so densely packed, but once it is dry it’s as soft and ready to go as ever.

This really has been a gem of a find, and I’m so thankful it was included the Beauty Box. For the price and quality, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to try a buffing-style foundation brush.

For when applying from a contour pallet this brush is perfect for first time users as its easier to manage and apply.it still gives a great look and leaves you with a great defined look and yet so simple and easy to use.its texture also makes blending and contouring super easy for the people that dont have that much experience in applying maker to there own or someone alses face

I had a few contouring brushes before receiving this one in the BRBB, and this one instantly became my fave from the first time I used it.

The density of the bristles is in my opinion, ideal.. they are quite fine, there's a lot of them and they're compacted to be slightly stiffish, but they're super soft. The handle is a bit thicker than what I was used to, although I think it's of a perfect circumference to very comfortably wrap my hand around.

This brush pucks up and delivers the bronzer to the highest level of satisfaction for me.

I generally love cameo hair styling and makeup tools, I think it's a totally underrated brand, and this brush is thus far my most favourite item from lil ol humble Cameo.

This brush was part of the awesome BRBB. I didn't have very high expectations when I broke this brush out of the packaging. I certainly didn't associate Cameo with good quality brushes- they were that brand that made hairties/hairclips that I wore as a kid! However this left me so pleasantly surprised.

The brush design is clean and simple and feels very comfortable in your hand. The bristles are super soft and very densely packed. I use this with my Maybelline master-sculpt and this gives me a natural but beautiful contour to my non existent cheekbones. Perhaps the dense bristles would not be as well suited to a more intensely pigmented contour product, but the Maybelline one is very subtle so for me it works.

I have a new brand to keep an eye on in the beauty aisle!

so im not to fussed on this brush while its very tidy and has a clean angle in not found of the bristles. The brush just doesn't seem to pick up product very well unfortunately.

I got this in the BRBB & was stoked to see it in there as this is my first Contouring Brush! Until this little beauty I had been using my finger & Beauty Blender... I should have brought a brush a long time ago!!!

It's a lovely brush - especially for an 'affordable' brand. The handle is a great size, simple in colour & easy to hold. The bristles are short & angle into a little bit longer but I find the overall length is perfect. The density of the bristles is also very thick which I feel gives me a bit more confidence with using it with my bronzer.

I like the angle & that the overall shape of the bristle together is round. It's easy to get just a little bit of product on one side of the brush to apply a small line to my face (if this makes sense - think contouring the side of your nose).

It also washed up really well. I found no loose bristles and the shape held perfectly!

I'm thinking I might investigate some more of Cameo's brushes now!

I dont like this brush mainly because i prefer to use a fluffy brush, where this brush is dense and stiff. I found it very hard to blend the product and was just very awkward to use.
