elf Stipple Brush Review

I purchased the elf Stipple Brush at the end of last year when I was looking for a brush for my liquid foundation. However, I found this brush terrible for the job! Although the bristles are soft, have had zero fallout so far, and the brush itself is visually quite chic, the bristles were simply not dense enough to apply liquid foundation. I found the product was very difficult to apply and blend in, and I ended up having to use my fingers to compact the brush in order for the bristles to be tightly packed enough.

However, I found this brush worked great for powder and blusher! So would recommend for those products, and not for liquid makeup.

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.

Another iherb order, another random product popped into my cart. I love brushes and when I saw this at $3 it was so easy to just pop it in with the rest of my goodies. One of my favourite brushes is a stippling brush (a MAC one) so I thought I couldn't fail with picking this up.

The brush itself has quite a long thicker light handle in matte black. On that the name of the brush is written in white. The metal ferrule is also shiny black and the hairs are black also with the white tips. The hairs are extremely soft. Because all the hairs are quite long they are very soft.

Personally I haven't actually found to many uses for it. I did find it great with a creamy blush as it creates a really diffused natural look. Also great for smoothing and blending out blush if you have applied too much. Because the hairs are quite flimsy is isn't great for moving around foundation. Also it is too big for me to do contour. And it doesn't pick up enough pigment for me to powder my face. I haven't had any problems with this shedding at all.

If you use cream blush regularly you might enjoy this brush, but I didn't find that many uses for it. But for the price it isn't that much concern.

For a low end, cheap brush i was really impressed. I got this brush on holiday when i left my go to brushes at home. I thought it would be something that would get the bin after a couple of uses but that hasnt been the case! Its soft, has very little fall out and seems to be holding up really well.

This brush was great after first use, then once I washed it it was over. It shed little by little, maybe ELF's brush shampoo doesn't gel well with a brush made from the same company? I have no idea. I liked this brush though, because it was just the right size for my face to stipple on liquid foundation and powder foundation, however the turn off was the shedding of bristles :( ugh* if the shedding didn't occur, I would totally love this brush as it applied my foundation evenly.

I bought this brush from Iherb and have used it everyday ever since! Awesome for blush does not pick up too much product and blends well. Bristles are very soft and have had no shedding that I am aware of. Such a good price for a quality brush.

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 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.

This was my first brush I ever had . I was so unsure of how confident I would be with brushes and if they were better than a beauty blender. But this was awesome ! Especially for a first brush . I didn't want full coverage and that's what it achieved. I definitely recommend this to my friends who don't have brushes or are new to make up !

When I first got this brush I was too afraid to use it because it was so darn soft and fluffy!! For a while I used it as a powder brush, but eventually I got over my fear and used it with my foundation and BB cream.

I don't like the way this puts my BB cream on, so I stopped using it with the BB cream. I could see the brush strokes and I ended up just smoothing them out with my fingers.

Used with foundation, it works alright. It's not magic but it does the trick, blends out nicely and I like using it better than using foundation with a blending sponge. The only problem I have with it is I washed it the for the very first time, getting the handle slightly wet, and the glue has all but come loose and now my brush is a little broken.
