e.l.f Fan Brush

I bought this to apply highlighter and it definitely disappointed. I was expecting the bristles to be firmer/stiff (yet still soft) however they were so flimsy I couldn't even get highlighter onto the brush, let alone my face. Definitely recommend avoiding this as although cheap its pretty useless!

The whole set of elf brushes in the white handles are very disappointing. I think thats why they are so cheap for the price that elf is trying to get rid of them. They shed easily, they are very scratchy and they don't pick up the right amount of product. They either pick up too little or too much.

When washing them, they shed like crazy. The studio version of elf is much better which are the ones with the black handles. You should probably skip on these if you're needing new brushes and spend an extra few dollars for something better quality that will last you longer.

I really did want to like this brush, but no. I am back to using my finger again. I don't understand how you are meant to use this brush.

First off the bristles are so flimsy when you put the brush in the highlighting product the bristles fold back onto themselves.

Its great if you want very little/to no product on your cheeks! But sometimes I want to be glittery, dewy goddess and this just doesn't cut the mustard sadly.

Also after every wash I get hairs dropping out and shedding on my cheeks which is such a disaster and it not a dense brush to begin with.

I use it instead to wipe away fall out from under the eye, which it works pretty well for.

I purchased this brush for $1usd from shopmissa along with some others. Upon opening the brush packet, I found it was thin and flimsy..but ok, it only cost a dollar. The bristles are a weird red - brown hybrid colour. The handle is actually the nicest part of the brush! E.L.F state that their brushes are ergonomically designed and I have to agree. I gave the Fan Brush a trial a few days later. It picked up some of my highlighter, ok. I sweeped it over my cheekbones about 3-4 times to get some product to stick to my face. It did the job but very delicately. I prefer a thicker brush I can really get 'stuck- in' with. However I will keep this brush around as sometimes I just want a sweep of subtle daytime highlight and this will do that job or maybe when my little niece asks for one of aunties 'makeovers'.

This brush was super cheap but I still don't think it is worth getting. The bristles aren't the softest and I find it doesn't really apply product that well to the skin. It is not as dense or stiff as I think it needs to be, so I don't think it will last that long with washing regularly as it is not good quality. It applies highlighter okay, but I have other brushes I much prefer and this just sits in my brush holder untouched most of the time. I have brushes from the studio line from elf which I love so was hoping this would be just as good, but unfortunately it isn't. I wouldn't recommend this to others, there are far better options out there.

I really needed a fan brush for highlighted and bronzer but to be honest I didn't want to spend a whole lot because I don't 'need' it. However, this was really just a waste of money; so flimsy, so thin. In all honesty, it just doesn't do the job

My word for this brush would be "Meh" nothing super bad and nothing super good. Would i buy it again? No probably not because there is better out there that's for sure. Il probably end up giving this to my younger sister as i just don't really use it anymore. I use it for highlight as i thought that was mostly what it was for but even then it doesn't do a great job at picking up the highlight. Would maybe be good for someone that wants subtle highlight though.

It's OK but not the best. Elf are known for their brush but this wasn't great. A cheap brush the bristles don't feel nice on my skin. I'm left disappointed by this product sadly.

If you like an intense highlight (i.e. NASA look at me!) then I don't think this is the best brush to pick up. I loved that it looks sturdy, it has a secure ferrule and a clean white handle but the brush hairs were a tad too flimsy for me.

I like an intense highlight so I guess I was trying to make the brush do what it's not designed to do. However, the hairs were too thin and sparse that I spent more time trying to pack on the product or I ended up giving up and using a kabuki of some sort.

When washing the brush for the first time, there was no shedding however during use I would find an odd hair or two on my face. This in itself didn't bother me too much, after all it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I decided to use this to sweep away fall out instead but again it wasn't dense enough to do a good job so out it went.
