You can never have too many make-up brushes in my opinion and whilst I am some way off completing mine and having all the ones I need, when I was given the chance to try a 10-piece brush set** from USpicy I jumped at the chance. Now 10 brushes is a huge collection to have and this kit usually retails for £35.99 though it is on special offer on Amazon for half price right now!
When the brushes arrive, they are packaged inside this lovely gift box with a really handy guide to each brush. Inside that box, wrapped individually you will find a Flat Brush, Tapered Brush, Flat Angled Brush, Round Brush, Precision Flat Brush, Precision Tapered Brush, Precision Flat Angled Brush, Precision Angled Brush and Precision Round Brush.
My favorites of the bigger brushes are the 'Flat' brush which I use to apply my Boots No.7 foundation which is a liquid and it works really well on the flat areas of my face especially forehead and my cheeks. I also love the 'Round' brush which I use when applying my powder as it helps to blend everything onto my skin leaving no lines. Then with the smaller brushes, the one I currently use the most are the 'Precision Flat Angled brush' for applying my concealer as I am trying not to use my fingers so much.

Looking at each brush in turn, not only are they really well made, they use synthetic fibre hair for the brush and then the handle is made from aluminium ferrule and wooden. On the face, the brush itself is incredibly soft and I would actually say they are as soft as my Real Technique brushes and perform just as good a job.
I personally think this is a great set of brushes and it would make a lovely gift for someone who is just discovering what make-up brushes can do when used properly or as a gift for someone who just loves make-up brushes, they are great quality and even when washed they don't shed their hair and are just as easy to clean as any other brush I have.
Have you tried this USpicy brush set? Do any of them take your fancy?
Love this set!!!

My boys used my brushes for painting. Yes, my MAC brushes. I need new ones, and these are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great set. I love that it comes with a little booklet explaining each brush.
ReplyDeleteThis brush set looks so nice! I love synthetics brushes, I feel like they pick up less of the product but blend flawlessly! Thanks for sharing hun, will definitely look into these.

I have not heard of this brand before, but for the price the brushes sound really good. I agree there is no such thing as too many make up brushes. I only have the RT ones and a couple Nanshy ones, I need more. KBxx

ReplyDeleteThey do look really nice, though, and so nicely packaged, what is it with us crazies and our packaging? lol
I have two uspicey gel lights that I LOVE! I might have to try these brushes. I found that this is such a lovely brand.

I don't know anything about make up brushes but they certainly look very aesthetically pleasing!

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know what to do with all of them!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great set of brushes :)

Oh my! These brushes look amazing!! I'll have to try them!
ReplyDeleteThey look fab - my daughter is just discovering make up and is desparate for new brushes apparently x
ReplyDeletelol I have one make up brush that I use for everything so some new brushes would be ideal! These looks fab. x
ReplyDeleteOh love them. Although I wouldn't know where to start in using them all! I do always like looking at all the makeup brushes when i'm in the shops, they're so soft and lovely! Fab photo's by the way :)
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I would likely start with something like this!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them as I am not so good with brushes. I think I have a lot to learn when it comes to brushes and I really hope one day I will be able to use them all.
ReplyDeleteThese look great -I have no idea what to do with make up brushes though!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to use any lol
ReplyDeleteI am such a brush addict and these look amazing!
