Medium Brushes
“This will give a nice sheer to medium coverage as the way the brush is, it diffused skin nicely but absorbed more than a normal foundation brush would buy less than a beaut ly blender”
Small Brush Mascara
“This is one of the best mascaras. The double ends are such a great idea because you can really reach those small lashes with the small brush”
Best Travel Brush
“It is probably a good travel brush, but not practical to store and find in my brush holder among my other long brushes”
Small Hair Brush
“Its also super simple to clean (as with most boar bristle brushes it will pick up fuzz and you need to be on top of your brush cleaning game if you dont want the brush to saturate the fuzz with your natural hair oils or products and thus wind up dulling your hair) I couldnt be more delighted”
Precise Brushes
“The best lip brush that I have ever had. I can carry it wherever I go, the bristles are precise yet soft, the application is flawless and it doesn't shed”
Black Brushes
