Sam Chapman (also known as half of the duo Pixiwoo from YouTube) has created a brilliant range of makeup brushes. Out of the 20 or so brushes I own 8, which is conclusive evidence that these brushes are amazing.
The brushes come in 3 colours, pink - your finish perfected, purple - your eyes enhanced and gold - your base flawless. The two brushes I am reviewing are the blush brush and stippling brush from the pink category, your finish perfected. I am complete ore of these brushes, I find them easy to work with and clean, they store well due to the flat bottom and they are a nice looking brush.
Stippling brush - I use this brush mainly for foundation however is can be used on powder products and cream products to. The brush is really great with building coverage as by stippling, you gain more coverage. It also blends products beautifully, for example your foundation and a cream blusher by making sure you have no harsh lines that you can sometimes get with a flat foundation brush such as the MAC 190 foundation brush. It's a good size as well and so easily packs into my makeup brush when I'm on the go.
Blush brush - I am IN LOVE with this blusher brush! I use my blush brush mainly for powder products because I find cream blushes slightly harder to apply with this brush. I have three of these brushes, one for powder and one for bronzer and the final for blusher. I can easily blend bronzer and blusher together well with this brush and I always know how much I am applying as the white topped bristles make it easy to see. I prefer this brush for blusher to a MAC 116 blusher brush or MAC138 tapered face brush as for my makeup it is less precise and therefore I don't get any harsh blusher lines. For bronzer the brush is definitely better than the MAC 168 angled contour brush however it is easier to contour with a smaller more angled brush. The brush, like I said with the stippling brush, is easy to travel with and super easy to clean...always a bonus!
This brushes retail for £9.99, blusher brush and £10 - £11.99, stippling brush. It may seem like a lot for a brush however for the quality and compared to other brushes these are miles ahead of any others that I have tried! I definitely recommend these brushes for you to try out and let me know what you guys think!
