My 5 Favourite Bruses of the Moment

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't been on in a while I have been a little overwhelmed with some stuff going on in my personal life. At least now I can concentrate more on the blog and bring great content to you all! Fingers crossed...

My fave eye brushes of the moment are all from Zoeva - my wonderful boyfriend bought my the whole set for me for Christmas. I have fallen in love with them all, they are easy to use, blend eyeshadow like a dream, easy to clean and are super soft! I have thoroughly enjoyed using them all but I have my favourites and I feel like if you was going to buy brushes from Zoeva separately then you should get these... you will be able to do a whole range of looks with just these brushes and if you are a beginner you will not need any other brushes for the eyes. The other brush I have here is the Real Techniques fan brush from the sculpting set.

The first Zoeva brush I have to show you is the Luxe Petit Crease brush. I love this for adding deeper colours into the crease after the transition shade has been placed. The colour I usually use with this brush is Cocoa Bear from Makeup Geek as it is a warm brown shade. This brush is like the transition of the transition if that even makes sense, I would the use a smaller pencil brush to add my darkest colour if I was going for a more dramatic look or leave it with just a transition and a deeper crease colour.

The next brush is the one I use for my transition shade. I love this brush more than any of the ones I have to show today. The Luxe Crease from Zoeva if fabulous for applying diffused colour through the crease so that your eyeshadow looks seamless and you cannot see where it starts or finishes. I still need to improve on my blending skills but this brush has made it a million times easier. My favourite transition shades to use are all from Makeup Geek, Chickadee (odd orange brown shade looks awesome with the right look), Crème Brulee, Beaches and Cream (for a lighter look) and Frappe (for a darker look).

Here we have the Wing Liner brush from Zoeva, I love this because it is so versatile, I do my brows with this brush daily using brow powders and it is amazing for creating a wing liner (DUH name gives a clue) with shadow. I love using the Makeup Geek duochrome eyeshadow in Ritzy with this brush dampened to create a really cool duochrome winged liner. How could you pass that up. I haven't yet used this to do a gel liner wing as I don't use gel liner but I am sure it would be great.

Finally for the eye brushes we have the Detail Shader from Zoeva. I love this one because it is so small you can do very detailed shading. It is great if you are doing a cut crease but you have been a bit messy with the crease colour - you can totally clear it up with this brush and the lid shade of your choice. It is also great for placing your inner corner and brow highlight. Using this brush damp can really up the amp on whatever shade you are using.

The only face brush I have included in this is the Real Techniques Fan brush from the sculpting set which you can buy from any boots or superdrug. I love that whole set of brushes it comes with the fan brush, setting brush and the sculpting brush which is a flat top contouring brush. It is definatly worth the money, I even got it on sale in Superdrug for £13.99. There is always deals and offers on so just keep your eyes open for it! I love this brush for highlighting, it applies the perfect amount and I have been really into highlighting the crap out of my face recently!

I hope you enjoyed reading, let me know what your fave brushes are. I'm thinking of getting some of the Morphe brushes now that they are being stocked on beautybay.com. That site is brill for getting things that aren't easily accessible in the UK. I would also like to point out that all of these brushes are really affordable! The Zoeva brushes range from £5 - £8 for eye brushes and a bit more for face brushes as expected. They are also avalible on beautybay.com but you can get them from their direct website Zoeva.de
