BURST Studio Flat Top Stipple Foundation Brush (FD05)

It’s fabulous. Get it. You don’t have to even read the rest of the post. Just get it. Now!

I read a review on BURST make-up brushes on Pout Perfection and immediately got excited about the range.

When I opened my goodie bag at the #CPTBloggerMeet last Saturday, it took quiet some restraint on my part to not freak out when I saw this beauty staring back at me (in between loads of awesomeness I might add!).


‘Use this brush to create a light to heavy coverage, resulting in a flawless finish. Use in circular movements for a lighter application and a stippling motion for a heavier coverage.’


I have many foundation brushes… flat, dome, stipple. I still prefer to apply my foundation either using a Beautyblender (and the like) or my fingers. I have preferred using my fingers of late, as it saves a bit of time in the mornings and it works well with the foundation that I’m currently using.

Well, my fingers will no longer be doing all the work… this brush is amazing. Application is quick, easy and my foundation is blended flawlessly (even into the hairline).

The quality of this brush is great. The bristles are dense and super soft. It really is a pleasure to buff your foundation into the skin. It feels so good that I now apply my primer with it too. It doesn’t soak up your foundation, so no wasted product. I have used it every day since receiving it and I haven’t noticed any bristles falling out. The handle is sturdy and the look of the brush is just gorgeous. 
Best of all… this bristles are synthetic. Yay for cruelty-free.
 
The brush retails at ZAR250 and it is worth every cent. Go check out the BURST Studio site to see how you can order. While you’re there you can check out the make-up services that they offer and have a look at all the other drool-worthy brushes. I am already eyeing more from the synthetic range. 

If you were also at the #CPTBloggerMeet, or if you have this one or other BURST brushes in your collection, please let me know what you think.

What is Tightlining?

A dark upper lash line makes your lashes look thick and lush. I don’t know about you, but without eyeliner, I look half asleep. But what do you do if you are not fond of an obvious pencil or liquid line? How do you fill the gaps between sparse lashes without looking ‘made up’? Tightlining may be the perfect technique for you.

Tightlining

 
In a nutshell, tightlining means to fill the lashline with colour; not above or below the lashes, but in between the lashes. This technique defines your lashline and makes your lashes appear fuller and thicker.

I get the best result when I use black gel liner and apply it using a flat liner brush and fill the lashline from below.
