The Best Budget Makeup Brushes – And They’re Pink!

The Best Budget Makeup Brushes – And They’re Pink!
I was lucky enough to recieve some goodies from Zoeva a couple of weeks ago, and I can finally share them with you beacuse they’re officially for sale on the website as we speak! You all know I LOVE Zoeva brushes, so I was very excited to get my hands on the new Pink Elements Brush Collection.
Just look at them…*drool*
Zoeva have yet to fail to impress me with their offerings. Their brushes are exceptional value for money, the lipsticks are some of the creamiest butteriest textures around, and as for those eyeliners…*swoon*. If you’re looking to build up your own brush collection or treat yourself or a loved one (Christmas isn’t too far away after all), I don’t think you can do much better than Zoeva.

The Pink Elements Collection is a set of 8 makeup brushes for both face and eyes.

First of all the brushes come in this snazzy gunmetal grey bag made of super soft faux leather. Very nice detail.
zoeva pink 104 buffer brush
The 104 Buffer  is a flat topped, very densely packed synthetic haired brush, perfect for working foundation well into the skin. The bristles are soooo soft!
zoeva pink 109 Luxe Facepaint brush
The blunt edges of the 109 Face Paint Brush make it appear as though it could be a bit rough or scratchy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! I have a feeling I’m going to be repeating myself a lot in this post but damn these brushes are soft. I’ve been using this as a cheek contour brush; it fits perfectly into the hollow under my cheekbones and precisely applies the colour.
zoeva pink 127 Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush
The 127 Luxe Sheer Cheek is an angled blush brush, similar to the MAC 168, but a tad smaller. The bristles aren’t too dense with a bit of give when you press them, so ideal if you don’t like applying too much colour to your cheeks (the floppier the bristles, the less product gets deposited).
zoeva pink 322 brow line brush1
The 322 Brow Line Brush is a wide, flat, thin, short haired angle brush for applying products through the brow. This works really well with cream products like the Anastasia Brow Wiz because it’s very stiff – not so great with powders though.
zoeva pink 317 wing liner brush
Ah the good ole’ 317 Wing Liner brush, probably the finest angle brush I’ve ever used. This is amazeballs (is that still a thing?) for applying gel eyeliner; it’s thin as a razor with the perfect amount of flexibility to hug the contours of the eye. One of my top pics from Zoeva.
zoeva pink 231 luxe petite crease brush
Another favorite for me is the 231 Petite Crease. It’s like a long pencil brush with flexible yet dense bristles, soft as you would expect, and a fine tapered point for precision. Use this to cut the crease, blend out your lashline, for getting under the eyes – I could go on.
zoeva pink 230 luxe pencil brush
Speaking of Pencil Brushes, we have the 230 Luxe Pencil. Not much to say other than I would be hard pushed to tell the difference between this and the MAC 219. Very same shape, perhaps this is a tad softer.
zoeva pink 227 Luxe Soft Definer Brush
Finally there’s the 227 Luxe Soft Definer, Zoeva’s answer to the MAC 217. There are differences between the two and I can’t really decide which I prefer as both have their merits. The Zoeva version has longer more pouffed out bristles so it’s not as good for crease work, but better than the 217 for blending. Also the bristles are far far softer than MAC, like waaaaay softer. For the price, I’d go with Zoeva.
Will you be partaking in the pink brush luxeness?

8 Steps to Perfect Eyelash Extensions

Image
The following step-by-step for applying eyelash extensions was provided by NovaLash EyeLash Extensions. Step 1. Apply under-eye stickers When applying under eye stickers/gel patches, you should avoid placing the sticker too close to the eye. The sticker should be placed over the lower lashes, about 3-4 millimeters from the lower lash line. Check lids from below to ensure upper and lower lids form a seal with no gaps. Step 2. Choose extensions Always use at least three different lengths of extensions that range from 6 mm to 14 mm in length. It is best to use 8 mm lash extensions in the inner corners of the eye to avoid avoid an artificial clownlike look. It is also important to use 8 mm extensions all across the eye, between the longer extensions to create a thick lash line. Failure to mix in short extensions results in empty gaps that make the long extensions look similar to spider legs. For a dramatic look, opt for the thickest (0.25mm) curly extensions.
