Stippling brush rave
Posted: Thu May 08, 2008 9:20 pm
I love the new fibreoptic brush! I reckoned I would, so I ordered two of them - they got here yesterday. Had to give them a wash, so I couldn't use them until today.
I''ve got samples of all the new blush colours, and Carnal is one of the scariest in the jar if you're pale - it looks like a really deep purple. Hadn't tried that one yet, but with stippling brush in hand, I decided to. I put a little bit of Carnal into my swirly bowl, stuck the brush in it, and dotted it on my cheeks - and it looks gorgeous. No blending required - this is the best blush brush I have ever used, and the colour looked really nice - not at all overdone (and if something was going to give me clown cheeks, this and Tart would be it). Just a beautiful plum wash right where it should be. Nothing cakey or heavy anywhere, it applied so smoothly I was amazed.
Fearing a trick of the light, I took a hand mirror out onto the balcony to see the ugly truth in full daylight. And the blush still looked great.
If you haven't got this brush yet - you must! It's cheap and it's wonderful. The only drawback I can see to it is that you'll end up buying heaps of blushes you couldn't wear before, because now you can!
