Hiya!


A couple months ago I went kinda crazy on E.L.F makeup brushes and I bought 8 brushes because they were just so inexpensive, so I thought I'd share with you my opinions on them.


So first of all I'm going to start with the eye brushes, all of the black brushes are from the studio collection and each of them costs £3.75 and the white brushes are just the normal makeup brushes which cost £1.50 each. You can purchase all of these brushes from the E.L.F website.
Eyeshadow C brush
















When I first saw this brush I thought it was quite big especially for my small monolid eyes but it's good for applying eye shadow to the eyes and for drawing the outer V on the outter edge of the eyes. Costs £3.75.
Small precision brush


















I absolutely love this brush especially for lining the eyes and it's great for concealing, you can also use this for lining your lips. 
Angled Contour brush


















I don't really use this very often. On the packaging it says that it can be used to contour the eyes but for me it is just too big for that, I tend to use this to contour my face like the cheek bones and the nose. This costs £3.75.
Contour brush
















I would love this brush more if it was smaller, it's a bit too big for the crease. However, sometimes I would use this to contour my nose or to conceal my dark circles, other than that I don't usually go for this brush. Costs £3.75.
Eye Crease brush
















I love this crease brush! It's just small enough for my eyes but this brush sheds quite a lot however for only £1.50 it does an amazing job!
Smudge brush
















This is my favourite eyeshadow brush, it's just great for applying eyeshadow to the lids and great for smudging eyeshadow on the lash line, it's also good for drawing an outter V onto the outter edge of the eyes. However, the biggest down fall of this brush is that it sheds a lot! On the other hand it is £1.50 so you can't really expect it to be of top quality. 
Eyelash and brow wand

















The reason why I wanted to try this brush because it received so many good reviews on MakeUpAlley but for me it's only a mascara wand on a stick and doesn't really do anything amazing. You can use this to brush your eyebrows and eyelashes. Costs £1.50.


And finally the one and only face brush that I bought from E.L.F


Powder brush
















I use this brush to press sheer loose powder onto my face to set my makeup or to mattify my face when it looks oily. I wish the hairs on this brush was a lot short but overall it's still a very good brush however I tend to find that when I wash this brush it seems to loses its colour.
That is the end of my E.L.F brushes review. Overall I think E.L.F do really good brushes for the price that they are offering but brushes from the normal collection tend to shed a lot but my studio brushes don't shed at all. Also a final point all of the studio brushes are made out of anti-bacterial, synthetic haired taklon and they are suitable for powder, cream and liquid products which is a bonus!


Hoped this was helpful and we'll talk again!
