e.l.f. Studio Contour Brush

Comments about elf Cosmetics Contour Brush:

I use this brush for pretty much everything. It works great for its intended purpose (contouring the crease), but it also works great for the entire application if you're in a rush. It picks up a lot of product. You can't go wrong with this brush, especially for the price!

I wanted to try the elf eyebrow stencils and had to find a brush to apply product without the bristles getting under the stencil opening. This brush does the job. The rounded shape works great at getting the product onto the target area without migrating under the stencil using a 'stipple' motion. The brush cleans well with the elf Daily Brush Cleaner and elf Brush Shampoo without shedding or bleeding color.

Great little brush picks up a ton of product some times in a rush I use this brush for my entire shadow.

I don't particularly like this brush for it's suggested use (I find it too stiff and small for applying a crease color), but I love it for applying and blending concealer. I use a cream concealer but I've found it works with liquid as well.

This is also a good eyeshadow brush, but I usually use it for inner corner/brow highlighting where I want more precise placement of color. It also works well for controlled glitter application.

Overall, this is an excellent brush. It's a great size and shape, picks up color well. Does a good job of blending, though it could be a little bit less stiff. I find that I have to use a very light hand with it because of this.

My only real problem is that when I cleaned it the same way I clean all of my brushes—with dish soap and water—the soap WOULD NOT COME OUT. None of my other brushes—ELF or other brands—did this.

I rubbed soap on it, made sure to clean it completely, then rinsed it out. And rinsed it again. And again. Each time I did this it looked clean, but when I rubbed it on the back of my hand still damp, it would start sudding. NONE of my other brushes, even ones with more densly packed bristles, did this.

Over and over and over, using several methods, I kept rinsing it, drying it slightly, then rubbing it on my hand and it STILL KEPT SUDDING. The most effective way I found to actually get the soap out was to completely submerge it in water and roughly scrub the bristles against my hand or the side of the bowl I was using. But even this way I had to do it several times, and I felt like I was damaging the brush.

On the bright side, it didn't shed at all while I was doing all of that. So there's a plus.

This brush is great for creating depth in the outter v or crease all over the lid. The size is perfect, not too dense or fluffy. Also blends easily. For the price, quality is great. Would buy again.

this blends perfectly with its soft bristles. This could be all you need to apply eyeshadow.

Comments about elf Cosmetics Contour Brush:

This brush is much too large to contour my creases. I do find it makes a decent brush for the inner corners of my eyes and to conceal around my nose and such, though.
