Illamasqua Blush Up Brush: £28.50

CONTOURING WITH EASE

My first Illasmasqua product. I have been eyeing this up for a very long time and couldn’t bare part £28.50 but something must have suddenly changed my mind. Seeing this on blogs, I instantly knew that I wanted to use this for one purpose only, contouring.

I have only used this with powdered bronzers so I cannot really comment on how this works with cream products. Due to its brush density and softness, it can pick up a lot of excess product. You will just need a light hand when applying any powders to the brush or just tap away the excess. On application, it will give a soft, natural look with the blending and buffing capability, given if a light hand was used. I am also able to use this brush to build up the colour more if needed.

I actually find this easy to use to contour my cheeks, easier than angle brushes because of it’s short, flat, synthetic bristles giving me more control. I am able to fit this into the hollows of my cheeks easily to create a more precise, structured look as well as along the temples and the jaw with the use of swift swipes. I haven’t noticed any shedding from the first wash.

I totally wish I had purchased this a while ago. It fits me perfectly as other brushes tend to be a tad big for the hollows and small face in general. Even though it’s not cheap, it’s definitely worth investing. A unique, sleek, elegant looking brush too. An instant favourite in terms of design.

Have you tried any brushes like this before?

    Great review! I love Illamasqua cheek products, though I have yet to try their brushes. I'm really sad that it is now very difficult to get a hold of their products here in the states. =(

    Right now I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to contour. I was thinking about getting the NARS Ita brush but it's way too expensive… This one looks like it would do a great job as well!

    It's a pretty brush, but I don't use brushes a lot. =)

    never see the brush short like that..
    but i think thats more useful for contouring or shading..

  13. Arian Yupangco says:

    I don't contour much, but I think this would be much better and easier to use compared to a lot of other similar brushes out there, especially since it's so compact and quite narrow. Other brushes are too fluffy and wide!

    This brush is looking really good but very pricey.

    I've always been a massive fan of illamasqua. I've never got round to trying their brushes though. I might have to now. I hardly apply powders to my face but I'll be looking up their brush range now.

    Happy New Year!
