L.A.B.2 PRO MAKEUP BRUSH KITS

Until I used the L.A.B.2 Lash Out Loud Mascara Wands, which I reviewed HERE and happen to think they are fabulous, L.A.B.2 was not a brand that had been on my radar. Now I have two of their makeup brush kits which I am sharing with you today. L.A.B stands for Live and Breath Beauty and you are likely to find these brushes in BeautyMart, which for those of you who live in London, will find situated in Topshop on Oxford Street.

The two brush sets that I have are the L.A.B.2 I’m Turning Pro Brush Kit which retails for £20 and the L.A.B.2 Strokes of Genius Brush Kit which is priced at £17. Both sets of brushes come packaged in black and red boxes which really make then look sleek and stand out.  The L.A.B.2 brushes are made from synthetic bristles with what is called “FiberLuxe Technology” which is said to provide superior pigment pick-up and optimal release.

The I'm Turning Pro Brush Kit features four brushes which have soft-touch handles which help with gripping.

The four brushes inside the box are perfect for using every day for makeup application and they are a complete basic essentials set that anyone would need.  So we have:
  • Contour Brush: is shaped to sculpt, contour and highlight facial features for subtle definition and a soft-focus finish.
  • Foundation Brush: is slightly pointed for smooth, streak-free coverage for applying liquid foundation or concealer. The specially shaped end makes light work of the contours around the eyes and sides of the nose.
  • Buffing Brush: provides full coverage powder or mineral makeup application and can be used to soften any harsh lines for an airbrushed effect. Its smooth, rounded head works product into the skin until it’s invisible.
  • Eyeshadow Brush: shades and defines eyes depositing an even application of colour. Use the flat side of the brush to apply colour then the end to blend.

All of these brushes are a delight to use. I love the rubberised handles and they really do help with that grip and for £20 this is an exceptional value for money set of brushes.  On the handles, each brush is named so that you know what it is to be used for. 

The Strokes of Genius Brush Kit contains 5 must have eye brushes and at £17, again for 5 brushes it is exceptional value for money.

Inside the box there is:
  • Eyeshadow Brush: for applying colour evenly onto the lid, crease and brow bone.
  • Crease Brush: is specially shaped for seamless blending. Use the tufted end and work back and forth into the crease
  • Brow & Eyeliner Brush: doubles up as a brow filler and for extra definition of lash lines.
  • Pointed Eyeliner Brush: is short and neat to deliver a precise, controllable line.
  • Brow & Lash Groomer: is a double-headed comb and brush for detailing the brows before or after applying colour.  With both combs and a spoolie, this is one helpful brush.

Again, if you had a limited knowledge of what each brush could and should be used for, on the back of the box is a quick tutorial on how to use the brushes and how each one works to perfect that perfect eye.


Do you own any LAB2 brushes?
