Artiste Angled Foundation Brush Review

I gained possession of this brush from a BR vault in December. Prior to using this product I applied my makeup with a makeup sponge or an old (and shamefully not very clean) foundation brush.

Hoping to update my brush collection I thought I'd give this one a go. Unfortunately I wasn't throughly impressed by the brush. It left my foundation application streaky and wasn't the best for blending. After washing I was pleased to see that it didn't absorb all excess foundation but this alone isn't even for me to use this product regularly.

For now I'll stick to foundation with a trusty makeup sponge!

This is my first Angled foundation brush that I’ve ever used. I have flat top shaped but not angled. I really like foundation brushes now as opposed to beauty blenders.

The brush handle is thin and black . Feels like it made of plastic. Brush bristles feel quite thin feather like.

Application it smooths out my foundation well. I tried cream contouring with it. It was easier to carve out my cheek bones.

I think the quality of the brush feels like it’s at the low end of the scale. It does get the foundation on. There wasn’t any streaks . It’s not the greatest foundation brush because the bristles need to be fuller.

Overall I don’t think it’s worth spending that amount on it . Under $15 would be a fairer price for it considering the quality of the brush isn’t there.

I received this brush from one of my vault purchases thank you BR.

I have been wanting to try out new brushes and brands but can't afford to spend lots of money on them incase I don't like them so I thought getting some through the vault would be a great way to trial these without breaking my pocket.

I have always been interested in angled foundation brushes and sadly I was disappointed.

The brush itself is sleek looking and simple to use but it did not apply my foundation nicely at all. It left my foundation looking extremely streaky and over the course of a few weeks I've tried three different foundations of mine with the same brush but sadlu all came out streaky. I really wanted to like this brush but I'm glad that I personally didn't send roughly $28 on it because I would have been hugely disappointed.

I guess on a plus note this brush was easy to clean and didn't hold onto the product.

I personally wouldn't recommend this style of brush however I think the brand is fantastic and I have other brushes from this brand that are amazing.

I’ve been using brushes to put makeup on occasionally and this wee one popped up in the vault so I thought oh yeah I will give it a whirl.

It looks like a nice brush but quality slightly lacks. The bristles are nice and soft, but the brush head is a bit rickety on the handle so tends to wobble around. I’m not too sure if it’s common with this brush or just a fault on my certain one.. as my contour brush in the same line is much better quality.

The bristles are nice and soft but this also makes it hard to push foundation around your face as they are so soft they bunch up so it’s purpose is void. It ends up streaky and smeared with lines, despite the fact it should be blended in as it does with my fingers etc.

But not all is lost.. I have repurposed this brush to apply my concealer it’s perfect for dabbing and the angle is perfect for getting it right into the eye corners. It is nice and soft so gentle enough to use around the eye area.

So it’s not right for my foundation, but I have found another use for it so not wasted.

If you're considering buying this because it's the right price and you need a foundation brush - abandon right now! I purchased this in the Beauty Vault despite the incredibly low ratings and abundance in the vault as the top items had been snapped up. I needed a foundation brush as my beauty blender was absorbing way too much of my cream foundation and I was going through it ridiculously fast. Love the angle but this brush leaves my foundation streaky with obvious brush lines. It just doesn't work as you'd expect it too.
