Not my favourite product in the Beauty Box. I find it’s a very stiff brush. I tried to contour with it but felt it just didn’t blend as easy as other brushes. I prefer to use a looser and fluffier brush that I can get more coverage with.

This arrived in my BRBB and I've tried foundation brushes before without much luck - but thought I'd do some homework and make sure I was using the right technique this time. After several YouTube classes I was ready to try! Perhaps it is just me, but I felt that it left brush marks on my face, no matter how I tried to blend, i did find that it helped with getting the coverage under my eyes a bit better, but I really prefer the finish I get when I use my fingers to apply the foundation
I was rather pleased to see a brush in the last BRBB and got into straight away. It's a nicely shaped and sits in your hand well.
I have found it not to be my favourite for contouring as the bristles are quite short and dense, in my opinion I prefer something with a bit more "fluff" to it as I find that easier to distribute and blend the contour powder on my cheekbones. My end result was a bit harsh looking for my taste.
What I have found it better for is applying foundation and will continue to use it for that.
For its price tag it's not a bad brush, just not for me. I feel it would be best suited to someone just starting out with make-up who doesn't have a great deal of money to spend on brushes that they aren't sure whether they will get much use out of.
It seemed to wash up pretty well and that's encouraging. No shedding and it dried well.
Sorry Cameo, I won't be re-purchasing.
I got this in the September BRBB along with alot of other beauties I am sure. I had never tried Cameo brushes before so this was going to be an experience. I was hoping one of love and adoration but unfortunately it was not to be.
I have seen the many items, including brushes in the Warehouse before but never really paid it any attention. I am glad that I got to try it before I buy it. The brush is actually quite gorgeous in its own simple way. First off let's talk about the pink packaging....all the yes's in the world are being screamed by my girly side! The brush is a faded grey/silver colour and the bristles are very soft and sturdy feeling which I love in a good brush.
Contouring and I are not really friends because I can't for the life of me get it right. Not even a little bit. I had to test drive this baby though to see if value for money is better than the high end brushes out there. The packaging and look can already get a big tick!
I was surprised that there was minimal fall out even with using powder contour palettes. I found that the sturdiness continues throughout the application but very quickly it begins to malt. There were trails of fibres all over my face from the first use. I have to use the hair dryer on cool to get them off even then there were a couple of stubborn ones. I thought it may have been a first off because of it being new and unused. Yeah, nah it continues on and makes my face itchy. I changed it up and bought a cream contour kit which helped keep the fibres in check but not completely.
Over all I am really disappointed with this brush. Yes is contours pretty well with minimal fallout but the malting gets me everytime. I would rather spend four times that and get a proper brush for the job that won't let me down.
Tips: Use a cream contour kit to help keep malting to a minimum
I was lucky enough to get it from the Beauty Box. First off it looks very professional, sleek and clean, With a silver handle and soft slanted bristles
I first tried this for contouring as thats what the brush is stated for. I found it picked up wet and dry products easily but I couldn't seem to apply it evenly. No matter how much I buffed I seemed to have patches where too much product would be left or none at all.
I would still use this to apply the product as the angled bristles help define lines but I would buff with another brush to make it look a little more natural.
I have used this as a foundation brush and found this worked a little better. I still needed to use my fingers a little to blend the foundation in.
Over all I think this would be a good brush for a beginner or someone who doesn't want to spend to much money.
I received this item in the September BRBB. The brush is a short-handled silver tool with dense soft bristles. It comes in basic pink cardboard packaging with "helpful hints" on the back.
I would have preferred "how-to" tips rather than unhelpful hints like "using the Cameo Angled Contour brush apply bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks" etc. That doesn't tell anyone how to use the brush effectively. Do we press, swipe, dab?? Is the top of the angle towards my ear or away??
The bristIes are soft but I found that it sheds even after washing. It would only bother me if it cost me a trip to the moon. I've used a similar brush in the past and I'm still not convinced about its contouring functionality. For me when it comes to contouring the true test is the hollows of my cheeks; everywhere else on the face is manageable.
I dab the brush into my powder bronzer, tap off the excess and press along the hollows of my cheeks. I gradually buff it out in small circular motions. It cleans up the area very nicely but the brush reminds me of an angled buffer brush that I use to buff out blush if I get a little carried away. I feel like this brush takes away the definition I'm trying to achieve with contouring the hollows.
Instead I prefer to use it to highlight and buff out blush. I still prefer the slanted brush for contouring because it allows for easy sweeping motions that doesn't move the makeup below.
Tips: To highlight the area below the corner of my eyes up to the sides of my temples I pick up the highlight and press the product into my skin without tapping off excess. Once I've added my blush I go in with the ELF Kabuki brush to soften the highlight.
I brought the most recent beauty box which to my delight featured this contouring brush. I find this brush is hard and the bristles are too compact for my liking which leaves one straight contouring line on your face and doesn't blend well. It's helpful for getting the shape you want although i find you find yourself using this brush in conjunction with a couple of others to create a more natural look.
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 received this in the last Beauty Box and was really pleased as I wanted to experiment with a brush instead of a sponge.
The packaging, is very basic with a cardboard backing covered with sealed plastic.The brush has a metallic barrel attaching brown toned bristles . The brush is quite firm and is cut on an angle.With the PP of $10 it is very reasonable compared to a lot of other brands on the market. I found the brush easy to hold but found it left streaks on my face where I had applied make up.I had to use my sponge to smooth out the marks. I am inexperienced at using brushes so possibly some of the problem is my technique so I will persevere and perhaps wash a few times to soften the bristles which may improve the end result. I was pleased to have the opportunity to trial this and will comment further if I find the brush softens with use so marks are not left. No bristles fell out during use or washing but up to date washing has not improved the result for me.
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.
