elf Stipple Brush Review

For the price this brush is great. The synthetic brushes are soft and are great at applying and blending cream blushes and highlighters. Because the brush isn't very dense it blends the cream products and leaves an airbrushed finished. Can also be used with powder blushes and highlighters and leaves a nice finish.

This is the first and only stipple brush I have ever owned. I was an avid beauty blender user until watching a few you tube tutorials that used a stippling brush. I didn’t want to shell out too much money in case I hated using it as I made this mistake with a foundation brush and it just never applied right for me.

This is a classic looking stipple brush typical in appearance of other ELF brushes. The bristles felt and nice and soft to the touch and I was excited to give this a whirl.

I used this with my Estee Lauder double wear foundation, I probably didn’t use it quite as its maybe meant to be used but for me I pour a little bit of foundation out onto the back of my hand and then dipped the stipple brush into it. I then start on one side of my face and lightly touch my skin and just brush in circlular motions but gently so as not to squash the bristles down into my face. This gave me a really lovely airbrush finish with the doublewear really nice and natural and I think using the brush this way meant I used a lot less product which is always a bonus.

This gave a fabulous finish and I was really pleased with my purchase.

I had seen people had used this with their cream blushes and I had a really bright revlon crème blush that I decided to give this a go with as its such a bright colour you have to be super duper light handed when applying it or you look very clown like !.

This was the perfect tool to get a really light natural looking crème blush finish ! – that blush does not have to go to waste anymore .

All in all I was super duper happy with this purchase for such an affordable price I’m pleased this took my stipple brush virginity 

I remember reading this brushes name and thinking a Stipple what lol. I had never heard of a Stippling brush before but it sounded like something fun so purchased it.

When it arrived I was like this is quite an interesting brush, actually reminded me of a badger because of the black and white bristles lol.

So being a Stipple Brush virgin, I had to watch a couple of youtube videos on how to use it as I didn't find the instructions for dummies on the packet. After watching the videos, I experimented with it and thought how cool it was especially when using BB Cream. It was easy to use and easy to apply it and gave off a more flawless look. I dabbed it and it just looked so good. It lasted for quite awhile but then noticed it started to shed. Now I'm not sure if this was because I was using it all the time or because I was supposed to replace it but the whiskers kept coming off onto my skin which was irritating.

I also didn't find it very sturdy, it was quite soft especially as I had seen other brushes were usually quite firm. But other than that, I really liked it, sadly it had to retire and then I went off to the dark side and purchased a Real Techniques brush.

It really is a great brush for a beginner and a great price too.

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.

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.
