This year I seem to have a serious obsession with makeup brushes, my collection seems to have doubled and I just love trying out and creating different looks with my new makeup tools. One of my besties, Emily bought me the Ecotools Fresh & Flawless brush set for Christmas (how long ago was that?) Now they've become quite the staple when it comes to applying my everyday makeup. I thought it was about time I posted about them on my blog. I don't know about you but I love hearing about what makeup brushes everyone loves using, so if you're looking to add to your makeup brush collection be sure to get comfy and keep on reading.
I think I'll start by saying that EcoTools seems to be quite a winner amongst us beauty bloggers. When I first started blogging I remember seeing loads of reviews of these pretty makeup brushes made from bamboo handles. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get my hands on some. The set of brushes that I've been trying are the mini Fresh & Flawless Complexion set and since I got them I've been using them non stop. The words 'fresh' and 'flawless' instantly appeal to me when doing my makeup as I think everyone wants flawless natural looking skin. The reason why I love this brush set so much is that it does actually work little miracles and really makes such a difference when applying my makeup.
The set includes a flat concealer brush, a buffing concealer brush, a precision foundation brush, a complexion blending brush and a full powder brush - Everything you need to create the perfect base for the rest of your makeup. Each brush has really soft bristles, but is compact enough that they get to work so easily on those ares that you want to blend. My favourite has to be the complexion blending brush (the one with bronze decoration) I just love this for going over my foundation or powder and using it to really blend everything out. It's true when you hear those words 'blend' as it really makes such an instant difference and this brush is a winner for achieving such a flawless look.
The other brush that is a favourite of mine and one I'm frequently using is the buffing concealer brush (the one with blue decoration). Before using this brush I only used my fingers to blend in my concealer, it's only since I've been using this brush that I now see where I was going wrong all these years, it makes such a difference! This concealer brush has a flat top with dense bristles and they really gets to work with any of those imperfections I try to cover up.
As for the other brushes in the set, they're lovely. I don't always have the time in the morning to use every single one, but I love having them there for those days where I have time to try make myself look fresh and flawless.
Before I wrap this review up I would just point out how pretty these makeup brushes are, the design on them has me swooning a little. I love the colours used and the little leaf print on each brush, it makes telling them apart so easy, especially their mixed in with my other brushes. I also love that these brushes work perfectly in miniature form. They're definitely a must have.
I would love to know what your thoughts are on EcoTools, are you a fan? If so let me know what your favourite brush is below as I'm looking to add more to my collection.
Lots of Love
I really love EcoTools brushes, I think they're so underrated! My favourite is by far the big powder brush, it's so good and really soft x

I have this, and today I got another wee set like this in Superdrug, on special offer. It has the same powder brush, and a blush brush, shadow, foundation and eyeliner. Think maybe 2 of them are the same, but its a different design. A bargain at £8.99.
ReplyDeleteI have this set, I don't use it nearly as much as I should. I am also a huge fan of the design xx

The design if these brushes is definitely pretty awesome. Very eco on one hand, but totally fashionable of the other. I like a combination of these two things a lot. I'm really interested in that big powder brush, since they come in a mini version. I find that good travel sized blush brushes are more difficult to get, so i'm still looking...
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip Dani! :)

I never look at Eco Tools when looking for brushes, but as a make up brush fanatic these look like they'd be right up my street x
