Cameo Angled Contour Brush Review

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 got this brush in one of the BRBB's and I wasn't overly wowed by it, but I wasn't unimpressed either. It's a decent length and it has bristles that aren't packed too tight, but they don't seem flimsy either.

The brush is soft and picks up enough product. I don't like using this to contour, I actually quite like it as a highlight brush. It's really simple to use and makes highlighting (or contouring) quite easy.

It blends the product nicely and doesn't leave me looking like I have diamond stripes or muddy cheeks. It's just a good brush that will stay in my collection for a bit longer yet!

Received this in a BR beauty box & I'm a suckered for brushes I always like to have brushes. A wooden handle which is grey with a silver ferrel and natural looking brush. Slanted dense hair that are compact & quite small but it does work well.

This brush is easy to use & picks product up easily too I like to use this brush it's not my favorite but it isn't bad either.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
