e.l.f Professional Brush Collection 10 pieces Review

I bought these brushes because I was desperate for something to tie me over until i could afford the real techniques brushes and this set seemed to have a good range of brushes.

When I first took them out I was immediately pretty disappointed in the quality. I mean, I wasn't expecting much for the price but reviews I had read about e.l.f brushes were all pretty good so I was a wee bit surprised. i did shrug it off because I when I started using the brushes I didn't find them too bad.

After a few weeks of use I noticed the top of the brushes loosening up from the wooden handles and nowabout three of them have completely seperated so that is pretty disappointing. Not all of them are terrible though, I have found the eyebrow wand amazing for prepping brows and the eyeliner brush very good for filling in the brows so those two are definitely my faves. I also get a lot of use out of the total face brush for powder. Other than those three I think this set is a bit of a miss and I recommend holding out, saving up and getting the real techniques!

I do like some of the brushes in this set however some of them i strongly dislike. the eyeshdow brush, eyebrow brushes and the powder and blush brushes are all decent enough for what i paid for. I do however not like the foundation brush as it left my face all streaky

I am a massive fan of elf brushes and their products but this set was absolutely horrible. The blush and total face brush were not even cut evenly there were bristles hanging around every where, they were not dense in any way what so ever and very rough on my face they didn't feel nice at all.

The eyebrow/eyelash brush i had no complaints about as they are a normal brush to have and cant really stuff that one up. I personally found the eyeliner brush was too thick and cant use it myself for eyeliner unless i want to do a thicker line or I use it for creme liners or eyeshadow. The concealer brush wasn't bad, i found it dense and it covered spots easily with good distribution of products. The eyeshadow brush was good again no complaints it applied my eyeshadow evenly. The eye sponge was fine too they couldn't really stuff that up either same with the lip brush even though i found the lip brush quite hard on my lips, i like something dense but soft for my lips. And because I have the full set of the elf professional range i use the foundation brush to apply face masks which work perfectly, the foundation brush is dense and nice and soft on my face which i like.

But overall because of the condition of the bristles i did ask a refund on these brushes and wouldn't buy them again, I was really disappointed compared to the full set of professional brush range.

There are a few brushes in the pack I love, the only ones I've had problems with are the concealer brush, lip brush and the eyeshadow brush isn't how I would prefer it to be. Other than that, I love the foundation brush, but I am an avid finger user haha. I love doing my brows, so I use the brow brush and brow wand every day 10/10 for those brushes. The blush and slanted brush are very mediocre but do the job well. The other brushes are very weird haha, the concealer one just wipes around the products around my face and wont blend in at all, so I use my fingers instead.

If you're just a make up beginner this brush pack is definitely for you! If you know what you're doing, its probably best to spend a bit more money for better quality.

To me, The pack was worth the price I spent haha, which was If I can recall $12 USD on Iherb, so its quite a cheap find.

Still iffy about the brushes, but they do the job to some degree haha.

I'm not super experienced with make-up brushes, but I bought this set a few months ago, mainly due to the low price! And I do not regret it. They seem pretty good quality for the price, and have improved my makeup application so much! Of course, some brushes in the set are better than others... I love the blush brush especially, its soo nice to use! Also love the total face brush, its perfect :) The smudge eye sponge is also very useful, as is the eyeshadow brush and brow comb/brush. However, I found the foundation brush very disappointing, feels nice but gives a very streaky application. Also not a big fan of the lip brush, it isn't as easy to use as some others I have. The eyeliner brush just doesn't work that well for me either, but I use the concealer brush for my eyeliner instead! However, I think as a starter set, it was definitely worth buying! Use most of the brushes every day! (:
