The Bargain Makeup Brushes From eBay

The 8-piece set (which you can find on eBay here), features gorgeous rose-gold handles- hence why I was going to use them as blog props…so cliche! They don’t feel cheap at all; each brush is lightweight and the bristles are incredibly (and surprisingly) soft on your skin. I was worried that the bristles would shed, as they do with some cheaper beauty tools, but I haven’t experienced any of this so far. They took around 10 days to arrive, but delivery was free so I wasn’t too bothered about this! Within this elegant little set, you get a powder brush, angled contour brush, flat contour brush, foundation brush, fanned highlighter brush, concealer brush, eyeshadow brush and an angled eyebrow brush. The latter can easily double up and be used to apply eyeshadow along your lash line, but is probably a tad too chunky to apply gel eyeliner. I didn’t receive a powder brush, and instead got what seems to be a more compact eyeshadow brush- it seems OK so this doesn’t bother me!

Some personal favourites include the angled contour brush, highlight brush and the (first) eyeshadow brush which is perfect for blending shadow due to its bigger surface area and fluffy, light texture. If you flick through the photos, you will see that the eBay seller also sells some funkier looking brushes (very mermaid-esque), but as I like more classic things I went for the rose-gold.
