The Internet went crazy over Kylie Jenner charging an extortionate amount for her makeup brushes. With people now taking more of an interest into the price and quality of brushes on the market I thought it would be a good time to review the Morphe face complexion brushes I got for Christmas.
The set includes 5 brushes and comes with a rose-gold bag to keep them in. The brushes themselves all have rose-gold handles, which is an instant win for me. I tried all the brushes out whilst doing my Christmas day makeup to here's my first impressions:
Pro Flat Buffer Brush
I am a sponge kind of girl when it comes to applying my foundation so I knew when trying this brush it probably wasn't going to be a winner for me. And I was right. I'm so disappointed with this brush. Maybe it's because I am so used to applying with a sponge, but the finish seemed quite streaky and uneven. I found it was difficult to apply the foundation and it was taking away the coverage. The brush is soft though and worked better in a stippling motion rather than circular motions. I'd rate this brush a 2/5.
Precision Pointed Power Brush
Next I used this brush to set my foundation under my eyes with translucent powder. This brush was much better, I really liked it. It was nice and soft around the eye area. It was able to pick up a nice amount of product and apply evenly. I'd give this brush a 5/5.
Deluxe Angle Brush
I then went in with this brush to contour my cheek bones. This brush was good, but I felt like you had to go into the powder a few times for it to pick up enough product. It applied smoothly and again, the brush was super soft. It did the job so I'd give it a 4/5.
Deluxe Pointed Contour Brush
Personally, I found this brush too big to contour my cheeks with as I prefer a more precise look. So I used this brush to contour my forehead and and jaw line. I'd probably use this brush to apply blush with as well. This brush is reaaaally soft! It feels really nice on your face and applies powder with little effort. I'd rate it a 5/5.
Deluxe Highlight Fan Brush
Finally, I used this brush to highlight. I really enjoyed this brush. It applied the highlighter really nicely to the skin and it picked up the right amount of product. Definitely 5/5.
This was the final look!
The brushes are available on Beauty Bay & Morphe UK website. The set retails for £25, which I think is a super fair price.
