e.l.f Complexion Brush Review

I find that I need my brushes to be sturdy and able to take a bit of blending and buffing. This brush most certainly does not stand that test. It just collapses in a heap and leaves it's bristles all over my face. It says it is for wet and dry? I have proven that theory wrong! It most definitely is not for wet. It sheds all over my clothes and face. I paid a mere $5 so I can't expect miracles but it should at least live up to it's promises surely?

I do love the sleep, black design of the brush and it does look chic in my makeup brushes jar. It is soft and fluffy and feels nice to use but my impressed thoughts on it stop here. I then took to using it as a blush brush, hoping it would be better suited to a powder. NO! It still sheds its fibres.

I used it instead to give my face a shimmer of glitter and for this it's perfect! It is soft enough to just give a light dusting without leaving fairy poofs all over my cheeks. This is all I use it for now which is disappointing. I think if I were to buy it again, it would only be for my nieces as a present to fill up their makeup stash. That is all it is really good for, young girls who are just learning about makeup and how to use brushes.

This brush worked well until I washed it with the elf brush shampoo and it shed everywhere. It's not completely ruined and still have it in my kit but it's not as soft and full as it was when I first bought it.

Quality is good, not falling apart :) Good blush brush for me. Leaves a great finish . Price is affordable.

Of all the brushes I now own this is by far my favourite!

It is a beautifully soft large head, slightly tapered at the sides, which I use for bronzer/skin enhancer powder all over my face. The price is amazing and it has washed well, dries really quickly and has retained it's shape.

I love this brush so much I've bought two more as standbys.

The major problem with this brush is that it sheds SO much. I'd be trying to blend out my foundation and after I'm done there'd be annoying little black hairs all over my face. It's extremely irritating and persistent even though I've tried washing it and tugging at it gently to pull out any loose hairs. And I usually use a kabuki brush for powder but when I tried this (giving it a chance to prove it's worth) I wasn't really that impressed. So for foundation this is sadly a no. However, I've found that it's really good for blush. Because I crush on blush really lightly and only do gentle circles rather than big back and forth sweeps, there's hardly an 'hair-loss' when I use it for blush. That's a redeeming feature that makes this brush at least somewhat useful. I feel like this would also be good for contouring but I've yet to try it for that. Overall, not bad considering its price. But if it was anything over $10 I wouldn't buy it.

For $10 this brush is amazing. To this day none of the bristles have fallen out and I've washed it like a million times.

It's a great all rounder - I use mine for contouring because it's slightly tapered (enough to give you a nice line of contour). It's fluffy so it's good for adding colour with blushes and bronzers and blending them out. I also use it to set my foundation with my translucent powder.

This brush can do no wrong and if you can get your hands on it I totally recommend it.

This brush is very good quality considering the low price. It looks very stylish in all black. I use it for setting powder and contouring. I find it really good for contouring because of the shape, and it is very fluffy so it is easy to blend after - no need for different brushes! For powder it's alright but I will probably buy a separate powder brush that is larger and fluffier.

I don't actually know what this brush is supposed to be used for, but I used it for is bronzer and I love it for that. It's tapered so you can contour with it but I also use it for an all over bronzer brush. I have washed it a few times and I don't think it's shed at all, it's super cheap and nice looking.

I purchased this brush a few months back - it is so soft on your skin much better than my first brushes I ever had. I used it with my loose powder . However I no longer use it as I have now purchased other brushes since that I am liking more ATM . Would definitely use it again though and such a bargain !

Considering how cheap this brush is it does an amazing job! it is incredibly soft and works for both dry and wet products. The quality is very good, none of the bristles fall out and it a very nice shape so it can be a multi-purpose brush used for powder, blush and bronzer wet or dry. The only thing that I would say is a downer is that the handle is a little loose. But other than that is a incredible brush!
