These were a wee treat I picked up for myself in one of the BR beauty vaults, so thank you BR. It was perfect timing because i really wanted some makeup brushes, and these looked amazing, and perfect for a beginner like myself.
These brushes come in a pretty purple box, nothing amazing, but it keeps the brushes safe. The brushes are quite simple. They have a slender black handle which is light and easy to hold. It feels like its made of plastic, but i don't know for sure. The brush bristles are brown is colour, and they are so soft. Literally, the softest brushes i have ever used. I would really like these brushes to have their brush name written on the side. I think it is pretty common for brushes to have this, and i find it really helpful being a brush beginner.
The blending brush is really soft and fluffy, and fans out ever so slightly. It picks up the perfect amount of product, but use it gently or it does make a bit of a mess in the pan. It blends out product well, and diffuses colour beautiful through the crease. I also use it to blend colour onto the lid, and find it diffuses colour beautifully as well.
The shade brush has bristles slightly thinner, slightly softer, and with a more rounded end. It picks up matte colours well, but is no match for unique eyeshadow blends such as the MUG foiled eyeshadows, so dont even try. Because this brush is quite soft, and not very dense, i also find it hard to really pack on colour over the lid, and it create huge fall out when doing so because its such a soft brush. Ofcourse, fix+ does help that. But this brush is good for a natural, sweep of colour over you lids.
I will definitely be using the blender brush again, and recommend this brush. However, i'll be putting the shader brush aside for now, and maybe il bring it out again on a rainy day when i have time to master using it
I got these brushes and a few more from beautybliss. I have never heard of the brand carousel cosmetics but i love trying out new brands so i was excited to try these. The brush handles are long and really easy to use, there so soft and fluffy. I really like these brushes and there affordable. I really hope they bring out more brushes ill defiently purchase them
