Ecotools is known for its cruelty free and affordable brushes and
that’s what attracts me the most to this company.
This brush set includes a kabuki brush, a mineral
powder brush, a concealer brush and an eye shading brush.
Before moving on to individual reviews of the
brushes, let me start by saying that these brushes are incredibly soft and
haven’t shed or lost their color. All of them dry fast, too.
Mineral
Powder Brush: I use this brush mostly for blush
application. It helps in blending of the blushes seamlessly. The bristles are
very soft. And, since they don’t pick up much colour at one go, it’s great
using this brush for lighter application or for blushes that are very
pigmented.
Concealer
Brush: A very nice brush. The bristles are packed tight
and it helps in applying under eye concealer nicely without any streaks. But
since I use fluffy brushes to blend out my under eye concealer, I use this mostly
when I want a single wash of eye shadow onto my eye lids.
Blending
brush: I can’t use this brush for blending eye shadows
since it’s big for my small eyes. Also, since the bristles are a little loose,
it won’t help in blending very precisely although it will do a good job. What I use this for is contouring my nose. It
works great in that area. It can also be used for highlighting the cheek bones although
I never needed to since my super oily face itself is a highlighter.
Kabuki
brush: I love the name! Kabuki! It’s good for lighter
application of powder products, especially loose powder or compact.
I brought this brush set from E-bay for around Rs.380
and with free shipping( 4 months back, I guess!). I so wanted to include these
brushes in my giveaway (next month) but with the rupee falling, I’m afraid I
won’t be able to.
It also comes with a pouch that can be used for
travelling purpose.
In short, “Ecotools 5 Piece Mineral Makeup Brush Set”
is very good value for money!
