Stiff Brushes
“It's always the case for a firm and dense angled liner brush to be too stiff for comfort along the lash line, but this proves to be soft every time”
Natural Bristle Brushes
“I find that the bristles bend far more easily than other boar bristle brushes I’ve seen since. ”
Small Brushes
“this is the best brush I've ever used on my eyebrows. the spoolie is so firm and the brush is so tiny and glides on so precise”
Medium Brushes
“Perfect tool to apply a light layer of foundation, or build up to medium coverage. It worked best when patted onto the skin for me”
Pointed Brushes
“I use the bigger, flatter side for applying highlighter and the smaller pointed side for applying blush. I have a problem with some brushes where more product ends up on the brush than on my skin, but that wasn't the case with this brush”
Line Brushes
“I do go over the bronzer with a fluffier bronzer brush to get rid of some of the lines it leaves but I do like the brush overall”
Round Brushes
“Nice light weight brush good for blow drying. The only problem is that hair gets stuck in between the white plastic connecting the round brush to the handle (not the bristles), which breaks the hair”
Stipple Brushes
“But the brush quality is so good and one of the most luxurious brush I owned, I hope they extend their brushes line and I will definitely replace all my brushes with hourglass brushes more brushes I will definitely buy”
Black Brushes
“I use TooFaced 3-way lash lining tool, and then go over the line with a dampened brush with a brown or black liner. Super intense, super precise”
Large Hair Brushes
