elf Stipple Brush Review

I love this stipple brush and find myself reaching for it more than my other more high end makeup brushes. Its lovely and sturdy, feels comfortable in hand. The stipple brushes on here are smaller than other brands i have tried, making it better for concealer rather than foundation.

This was my first ever stipple brush (ive had 3 since) and this is my favourite! Light weight handle, ideal for travel, bristles have alot of longevitiy in them as they are flexible yet firm. Easy to clean and easy to use. Found this works best with liquid foundation for an even, natural coverage. No streaks are left after wards and easy to work foundation all over skin. Does not soak in alot of product so is good on money, again super affordable. Love the elf brand and their affordable, quality products

I bought my e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush from Kmart, and it has a unique two-layer two-tone black and white bristle design with soft textured layers, which help to create an almost airbrushed effect when used to apply foundation.

The brush makes it easy to create a sheer to light application by swirling the brush around in circles, spreading the foundation over the skin, and can also be used to build up coverage to medium or full by dabbing or "stippling" the foundation in areas that need extra coverage. The design of the bristles makes it easy to get into those hard to reach places around the corners of the nose and under the eyes.

This brush is perfect to use with cream, liquid and even powder products, and the bristles remain soft even after many washes, just be careful not to get the ferrule wet (the metal part that holds the bristles onto the handle), as getting water inside the ferrule will cause the glue to soften and weaken, which causes bristles to fall out.

For a cheap, affordable brush, I was quite surprised that it worked so well. It's great for use on oily and combination skins, although I'd be a little wary of using a stipple brush on sensitive or very dry skin, as a brush can aggravate sensitive skin or highlight very dry patches of skin by lifting them (a sponge or beauty blender is usually best to use on very dry skin).

Very cheap brush but definitely worth the buy. It is a good quality brush that super soft. You can't lose, since its only $5.

The result of using this brush compares to high-end brushes.

I picked up this brush for $5 at Kmart and boy am I glad I did! This brush is very soft, but still is stiff enough to preform well, its also easy to clean. Works with both powder and liquid makeup but I find that it preforms slightly better with powder. Very impressed and keen to try out others in the line!

This brush is very nice to work with and I find it easy to use. I haven't had any problems with it, bristles haven't fallen out and stuck to my face, its very soft , and since I have acne scaring it gets into all those little gaps well. Its my go to brush.

This brush is such an affordable, yet professional-quality tool. You can use it for multiple purposes and leaves skin looking beautiful. For only $10, this brush is a steal!

I use this brush with foundation/concealer and my skin just has such a nice finish with minimal effort. Everyday I also use my small one to put on highlighter, which sounds quite strange and doesn't work for all highlighters but I have a MAC Mineralise Skinfinish and it works so well! The brush hairs are soft and flexible and effortlessly blend product in. I've even heard that these are dupes for MAC brushes, which are very expensive.

Overall I just love this e.l.f Stipple Brush, it's a staple in my collection and a great buy at only $10. It's comparable to high end brushes but has a cheap price tag, and is easy to find in any Kmart store.

This brush delivers good results for a fraction of what high end brands charge for similar brushes. It has a matte handle and a long shiny black ferrule.  The brush head is a good size and not overly dense so you can distribute enough product upon application in one area without caking it on.

Don't let the price fool you, the brush hairs are soft against the skin and I haven't had too much shedding from the ones I've used. I like to take this one when traveling because atleast if I lose it; it wouldn't hit me as much as my MAC 187 and I can readily replace it.

I like to use this brush to sheer out liquid foundation because it leaves a lovely natural finish on days where I just want to keep it light and simple. I've probably gone through 3 of these brushes and the only issues I've had with them is some degree of shedding and over time 1 brush came undone where the ferrule became disconnected from the handle. 

Even though I don't reach for this brush as much as I used to it's still a great brush to have on hand. I would highly recommend this product, particularly for those that are on a budget; but even still it doesn't hurt to have a couple in your collection for the price.
