I have asked many a makeup artists how important makeup brushes are and they all say the quality of makeup brushes are just as, if not, more important than the quality of the makeup. They all say (something along these lines) that "those are your tools and to make great art, you must have the best of the best." Yet, although I love department store makeup, I seem to be able to save on makeup brushes (see the blog entry about MAC brush dupes). Recently, I bought 2 face brushes from Ecotools and although they are significantly cheaper than department store brushes, I must say, they are just as good!
Ready for more reviews?

1) Here I purchased the Ecotools Blush Brush:
- Inexpensive and yet as attractive as an expensive brush
- Insanely soft
- Picks up loose or soft powder with ease
- You can easily manipulate how much you want on your brush and then build it up on your face
- Wide side (brush on the left) is great for applying blush on the apples on your cheek
- Thin side (brush on the right) is great for contouring you cheekbones with bronzer
- Ditto previous bullet point with the tapered end of the brush
- Easy to hold and does not shed

2) Now presenting the Ecotools Recycled Retractable Kabuki:
- Great for applying any kind of powder, whether it is foundation, pressed powder, loose powder or finishing powder
- AMAZING at buffing! Leaves a soft, smooth and non-cakey finish
- Great for taking out any harsh lines between blush and bronzer (contouring on your cheeks)
- Soft, compact, dense and does not shed
- Great packaging and handy for people constantly on-the go, yet still a bargain :)
- Grabs onto a lot of product if you want
I believe that Ecotools is a great company for people who are on a budget yet want brushes just as good as the $30+ ones. The brushes are made of recycled material and the company overall is very eco-friendly...hence, the name. This is very important to me as a person who was raised in New Zealand.
I can't wait to need more brushes so I can shop from them...yay!
'Til next time...
