Cameo Angled Foundation Brush Review

I used to use a flat liquid foundation brush but never really liked the way it applied.. so was trying to get away from flat brushes. I bought a stippling brush for my foundation and this worked alot better. good at blending and layering...however the bristles came out and the worst part was that they were bright pink. So when I got this angled brush in the September beauty box I was a bit weary to try it out because of my previous experience with flat brushes. I tried it and it was amazing! love that the angle makes it easier to apply around eyes and nose... works like a dream!

Just still finding it a little hard to blend the foundation nicely in my hair line and chin, which is where I found the Stippling brush amazing.

The quality of the brush looks pretty good for the price range so if Cameo ever made a stippling brush I will definitely try it out.

Would go out and purchase other Cameo brushes.

Like most of us, this was something I received in the latest beauty box. I have to admit, this is not something I would have picked up for myself, so it’s nice that I was able to try it this way.

The design of this brush is really simple, with a frosted metallic finish on the plastic handle, and has an angled flat brush on the end. The bristles of the brush are really soft which is a great positive, but I'm personally not a fan of this brush style (but each to their own).

This brush is used to apply foundation, but I just feel the angled edge doesn’t really do anything, but I'm sure there is some reason for it being there. I find when I use this with foundation, the brush almost mattes together instead of being able to buff the foundation evenly into my skin. It also seems to absorb a lot of product, and need washing every time I use it which is something I am not into because washing my brushes once a week is more than enough for me.

Even after all of this, I would have still used this brush for foundation if the results were good. Except, the results are not good. My skin doesn't look airbrushed or perfect; instead it looks streaky and terrible.

I'll try to use this brush as a mask brush, but I already have enough of those as well. Hopefully I can find someone who will want this, or it might just end up in the bin.

This is a practical looking brush, nothing fancy here but oh, it does some fancy blending! I have an expensive branded foundation brush which just sits about in my make up drawer as it just does not do as good a job as using my fingers. Needless to say, I did not hold much hope for this brush. I broke it out recently when doing my make up for a glamorous work function. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and the polished look it produced. I now use it every morning to apply my foundation. I find that it is so much easier to use the brush than applying foundation by hand. It is quicker and the end result is by far superior, sporting a smooth and blended appearance. Furthermore it does not shed any hairs which is a problem I experienced with the more expensive brushes. The tips offered with the brush is a nice touch. The brush feels smooth and luxurious on the skin. Thank you BR for including this brush in the latest beauty box. This is the reason I love this site, I have tried something I never would have and the results have been outstanding.

I received this in the BRBB. I was excited to try it as Im trying to branch out in my brush use for foundations, but unfortunately this one hasn't helped my confidence in this area. I find the brush is really hard on my face and doesn't blend or work my foundation over the face, making it patchy and uneven. So I still just ended up using my fingers to blend. Maybe different foundations would work differently with this brush, but I cant see myself bothering to use it again in the near future. Im not disappointed as I always enjoying trying new things and now I know this brush isn't for me.

If anyone has any tips you thing I could benefit from feel free to comment :)

I normally use stippling brushes or other brushes, instead of flat foundation brushes. However, when I received this I thought I should give it a go to see how they compare.

I quickly discovered I'm not a fan of this brush.

I found the shape of the brush made application a bit tricky. Unlike my other brushes, blending is quite easy compared to this. I found it left the foundation quite streaky. The bristles aren't as soft as other brushes and I found due to this it was hard to get my foundation even looking and natural. Not the best really!

Unfortunately this isn't the best brush for me. I will stick to my Real Techniques and MAC brushes for now.

Three stars from me.

I got this brush in one of the original BR beauty boxes. It’s definitely not an item I would purchase myself. I wear usually BB cream or tinted moisturiser so I prefer to use my fingers as I think it applied better that way. The one time I did use this for foundation, I found it made the foundation streaky which meant it actually took me longer to apply. What I do use this for is for applying face masks and it’s brilliant for that - especially for chunky face masks like Lush do. No more mess! It rinses out easily and dries quickly. I’ll definitely keep using it for that purpose.
