Sponsored Haul: MAKEUPSHOW Brushes
The lovely CHLOE from 7bella.com, contacted me few weeks back to get my address as she wanted to send me a couple of brushes from MAKEUPSHOW brushes. MakeupShow is the LEADING cosmetics brushes brand in China. It carries a wide range of products with supreme quality, aesthetic designs,and versatile functionality, but with competitive prices! I was super excited ofcourse, as you know Im a huge brush-a-holic(I have 100 or more brushes at the moment!)
When my parcel arrived, I ripped open the paper to see a soft, sleek brush roll. It even had the brand name MAKEUPSHOW embossed on the inside. I went straight into the brushes and checked them out individually.
Price of brush roll DOES NOT INCLUDE Brushes
Face Brushes
#20P 01 – Powder/Blush Brush
The fiery bright red totally caught my eye! I love brushes that have different coloured bristles, other than the usual black or brown!
#H01 Powder Brush
#H02 – Blusher Brush
This looks similar to the #H01 brush but this is smaller in length and this brush is more dome shaped, as opposed to #H01 which is more rounded
#22B 01 – Large Contour Brush
This one is FABULOUS for contouring. I tried it out for my regular cheek contouring and I didnt need to go back to the blusher for a 2nd time as this brush delivered an ample amount of product
#H03 – Foundation Brush
Ive never been a huge fan of applying foundation with brushes, but I do have some good foundation brushes that I own just incase. But when I tried this brush, I think I might just end up being a convert! I LOVE this brush! You could say the bristles and application method is similar to the MAC’s stippling brush #187. (and possibly a cheaper alternative too!)
The bristles are soft..SOO SOO SOFT! and it didnt feel rough or harsh on my face!I hate brushes that look soft and look pretty etc but are “poke-y” on the face! this felt marvellous! So soft that I after applying my foundation, I went on to use this stippling brush to apply concealer to my under eye too. Amazing, I tell you!
Eye Brushes
#8S 02 – Small Angled contour Brush
This reminds me of the MAC #275, which is one of my highly recommended brushes! I simply adore fluffy angled brushes as they are amazing for outer corner eyeshadow application!
#7S 01 – Small highlight Brush
Crease brushes are COMPULSORY! I own about 4 -5 crease brushes and still cant get enough of em! A good crease brush will ease your outer corner and crease blending whilst applying eyeshadow. Although its description states its a highlighter brush, I would prefer to use this as a crease brush. Its brush may not be as pointed as other crease brushes but its best when you want to “smoke out” the outer corners of your eyes!
#8E 05 – Medium Shader Brush
A basic eyeshadow or shader brush is one not to be missed out too. In my opinion, you should own atleast 3-4 of these. I have many of these type of ‘shade brushes’ in various sizes as when you’re working with colours, you dont want to mix brushes with different colours as it may mess up the look!
#3E 01 – Eyeliner Brush
I like this brush because, even though its an eyeliner brush, you really can use it for other application! It can be used as a concealer brush, and a lip brush too, because of its pointed tip which helps with a precise application.
#5S 02 – Small angled Shading brush
A smaller version of the #8S 02 brush. Why? Simply for an even MORE precise application!
#10E 01 – Large Blending Brush 
This pointed brush is similar to that of a smudger brush. Great for smudging the lashline if you’re going for a smokey eye look, or even if you’re going for a VERY precise crease line
MY THOUGHTS: So far I have absolutely NO complain! I love the brushes! they do a fab job, and there is no hair shed and best part, its so soft on the skin! I also like the fact that they are good quality products but are reasonably priced!
