Brush

I have found that the eco tools brand offers many pleasant surprises for those of us looking for a quality makeup brush at an affordable price point. I have the whole collection, and have been happily using them to apply my makeup for quite some time. This brush does a good job of picking up the powder that I apply, and the application of powder make up is even, and not streaky at all. I also lik...read moree that it holds the powder product well; it does not just fall off of the hairs of the brush. The hairs of the brush are fairly soft-- I do think that there is a noticeable difference between these brushes and those you find at a higher price point-- while the hairs are not feathery soft, they are non irritating and stay in the brush. I wash my brushes frequently, and find that they hold up to that sort of treatment well. They hold shape well, even after they are thoroughly washed and dried, and they travel well. I also like the bamboo style look. It is very natural looking and appealing. For the girl who is looking for a quality makeup brush without breaking the bank, I would recommend this brand. However, if you are searching for a end brush for your cosmetic needs, I would say that you should spend a little more and climb that price ladder a little. The reduction in quality is noticeable to me and I think it would be for anyone who is serious at all about makeup.

Fabulous!

For only $8, this powder brush has out done all other powder brushes I've used. The bristles are super soft (as always expected from Eco Tools) and it brushes powder on like a dream. With proper brush maintenance this brush will last for a long time! I don't want to go back to anything else now.

ECOTOOLS BAMBOO POWDER BRUSH

I love Ecotools! I have their retractable kabuki brush and the powder brush and I just bought their 6 piece eye brush set, and I can easily say that I am in LOVE! They are affordable and great quality and never EVER shed! And this brush is just fantastic! I used to use it for my Bare Minerals foundation before I got the kabuki brush, and It worked really well. Now I just use it for blush and bronz...read moreer, because I don't use powder and it is good for contouring. I am in love and recommend this to anyone, you won't be disappointed! I use this brush every day for applying blush or a touch of bronzer. I have had it for almost a year and it is still as good as when I bought it. I use it for blush because I am naturally a bit red, so I want my blush to be quite subtle (even after I cover the redness with foundation). For me, this brush delivers the perfect look, never makes my makeup look cakey, and cleans well. For the price, you definitely can't go wrong. Pretty soon after I bought the brush the handle fell off. I did try to glue it back on and tighten it on with pliers and it stayed on ok until I had to wash it. Also, The actual chuck of bristles came off after I had been using it for a year or two. The bristles falling off may have had something to do with me constantly tightening the ferule with pliers but it's worth mentioning. So, that aside I really like this brush! It's as soft as those velvety body shop brushes and are really inexpensive! I find that even the best quality brushes tend to shed once you get to the powder brushes but this one never did! (Until it fell apart that is.) Taking off the handle to wash it wasn't a big deal and even though it fell apart eventually I'll probably just buy another because it never shed a hair and is super soft. If you're worried about it falling apart though either go for a smaller brush or you could try to find this blush brush I have from them. It's the stubby one that came in a pack of four I think. I've had it forever (Not to mention I use it pretty aggressively.) and it's still perfect.
