elf Stipple Brush Review

This was the first brush I used when I started using a brush to apply my liquid foundation - being cheaper than other brands I didn't feel like I was making a huge investment in a tool I may not like.

It's very easy to use and gives my makeup an airbrushed look - something the old sponge can't. I also use it for applying powder and blushes - it's extremely versatile.

My only downside to this is that I found the bristles come out all the time. However it's not enough to stop me using it!

For the price this brush is great. The synthetic brushes are soft and are great at applying and blending cream blushes and highlighters. Because the brush isn't very dense it blends the cream products and leaves an airbrushed finished. Can also be used with powder blushes and highlighters and leaves a nice finish.

This brush is my go-to brush for cream blusher. That's all I really use it for as I prefer other brushes for my foundation etc. It is beautifully soft and odes a great job. I find it picks up the perfect amount of product as well so I never end up with a blush overkill

I just purchased this brush mostly because it was super affordable. I really like medium/full coverage foundation and this wasn't the brush for me, made me look quite cakey becauce i have slightly oily skin! However i really love using this brush to blend my makeup around my ears and down neck because its not to dense like other brushes and its so nice and soft. Wonderful with cream blushes and to add subtle highlights.

The E.L.F studio brushes are well known for being great value and this is no different.

Never sheds and gives you an airbrushed look with cream and liquid products. I also use it for blending out powder products and it works just as well for that too.

It's not too dense so if you were aiming for a more fuller coverage with liquid products i.e. foundation I wouldn't use this. It would probably take you forever to get the coverage you wanted. If you were going for a more sheer, natural coverage it works.

It's best for cream blushes though. I use it with my cream colour base from MAC and it's amazing to apply my highlight.

It's nice and soft so blends your products like a dream. You don't get harsh lines with this brush at all.

I bought this brush off I herb over a year ago when I was first getting into using brushes for my foundation. I'd seen quite a few people on YouTube rave about how amazing this was to get a flawless finish. Being an elf product, this is super cheap -$3 us.

The brush looks nice, not cheap like the price tag and the bristles are really soft. Stipple brushes a quite unique in looks, they start off dense at the base and then for the last cm at the top there is only about half The bristles coming through. It feels spiky but in a soft way if that makes any kind of Sense!

My first time using this with foundation was a total fail. I was left with a patchy, unblended mess no matter how hard i worked with the brush to get it even. I ended up having to use my fingers to rescue my face and that led to this brush going into the bottom of my brush box, never to see light again.

That is until about a month or two ago when i saw on here that it was great with cream blushes. I have a maybelline cream blush that was being neglected so I decided to pull these two items out of my collection and see what magic I could make.

I don't know how this brush does it, but it blends the blush on my cheeks perfectly. It leaves no harsh lines, no patches, doesn't sink into my pores and just makes it look natural. It amazes me how this brush can be so awful for foundation but so outstanding for blush.

This brush washes up well, i just use baby shampoo and a silicone mat. The white bristles have a slight stain from the blush after cleaning but nothing major. I haven't had any bristle fallout either.

If you love cream blush, I would absolutely recommend this to you. If you want a foundation brush, definitely look Elsewhere! If this brush ever broke, i would repurchase it.

The elf strippling brush has very soft bristles. I am not the biggest fan of this brush, i have tried it with liquid foundation and it just isnt dense enough for my liking it took me forever in a day just to apply my foundation and i had to use another brush to just buff it in to my skin more. I also have tried it with blush/highlighter and it was good for that as it didnt pick up to much product and gave me a nice soft highlight. Although it is good for a highlighting brush it's just something I dont use every day or even very often, so in my opion it was a waste of money as i had high hopes for it after hearing so much about strippling brushes! i brought mine off iherb for $4 so it was super cheap! I have had the brush around six months and i am still yet to see any shedding so its a great brush it just isnt the brush for me. I would still recommend to a friend as every one likes different brushes.

I bought this brush through iHerb and it's amazing! Especially for the price. I think this cos me like $4 :) my daily routine just consists of a bit of brow powder, mascara and a cheek tint. This brush blends out my cheek tint perfectly giving me a slightly "flushed" look. Love it! I also recently started using this to apply one of my ColourPop blushes and it leaves an almost airbrushed result. The bristles are super soft and I've experienced no shedding in the year or so I've had it. The brush always looks brand new after a wash also.

I bought this stipple brush off iherb a few months ago, and its been a great brush for my bb cream! By the reviews it seems most people use it for more powdery products (which I shall now rush to the bathroom and try!) but personally I've found it good for giving a light coverage of bb cream ove rmy moisturiser/primer.

I clean mine with the elf brush cleaner, and havent noticed much shedding, which I'll admit was something I was concerned about!

The versatility of this brush, and the fact it seems to be made for minimal coverage (which is totally my style) makes it a staple product in my make up kit. Another elf winner as far as I'm concerned

I use this brush for blush and I love it. It gives quite a subtle wash of colour, leaving you with the option to apply more or leave the colour minimal depending on what you're after. It blends well and gives an awesome finish using either powder or cream blushes! My holy grail blush brush.
