Icing Diamond cut professional brush kit




Costs: 16 dollars (but because I got it on a buy one get one half off it was 8 dollars)

Contains:
~1 Blush Brush
~1 Eyeshadow Brush
~1 Angled Liner Brush
~1 Crease Brush
~1 Smudger



Overall
Pros:
~Comes with a case
~Each brush comes with an individual plastic protector you can reuse
~The brush length is pretty small so it's pretty much travel sized
~Case its my other brushes (expect my large powder brush)
~Brushes hasn't shed (yet)
Cons:
~Nothing's really a con overall

Review will be in order of the brushes below (top to bottom)




Blush Brush
Pros:
~Applies color well
~Soft
Cons:
~Doesn't blend it out as well as I want, but that's just me. So I prefer using my powder brush to blend it out or apply it :)

Crease Brush
Pros:
~Concentrates color well
~Soft
~Easily gets into the crease
Cons:
~I prefer my crease more blended and this doesn't blend the crease well for me.
~ (may also be a pro) it's dense
It might be good for smokey looks though.

Eyeshadow brush
Pros:
~Soft
~Flat and thin tip
~Thing tip can double for applying a thin line of color
~Great brush to use moist to pack on colors
Cons:
~Not very good for packing on color on it's own

Angled Liner Brush
Pros:
~Good for apply a variety of products (creams and powders. Haven't tried gel yet)
~Small
Cons:
~Not capable of creating very fine lines (or as fine as I would like it to be for I have a partial monolid)

Smudger
Pros:
~Feels like a good quality sponge
~Good for cleaning up makeup smudges and etc. (Not waterproof mascara smudges while it's still wet though)
~Reusable
Cons:
~It cleans up products more than it "smudges" like it's intended to use for. So I would suggest you smudge with a brush rather than using this.
