No7 Smokey Eyeliner Brush

 I was planning to show you a range of brushes first however, I have decided to mix it up a bit.

It is important to have some good quality brushes in your kit. You could have the most amazing product but if you don't have the tools, your money could be wasted. Think about it, you wouldn't apply a Chanel foundation with a brush you found in a £1 shop.

Also, take your time with brushes, just cos you have great brushes, doesn't mean you are going to get amazing results first time. It takes practice to find out what brushes work best for you and for different effects.

Make up artists try to go for the best brushes that they can or the ones they feel they work the most comfortable with.

My personal favourites are MAC and Crown brushes.

If you want the same thing that is fine but remember to really look after them and spend time cleaning them has they have a high price tag.

No7 have a range on nice brushes for different tasks and they work really well I find without the huge price tag. So I would recommend these for your home kit.

The first brush that I am going to review is this one.

Now, it is the most expensive one in my kit by far however, it is  (I think) a super little brush.

It is black and gold in colour and very smoth, with lettering in gold. The bristle are very short to give great control. The are also packed very tightly together to achieve a soft and full brush.

The handle is short enough that you can work without having no control over it however, its not so short that you are right up in your client's face.

As the bristle are so soft and full, it does help to achieve a stunning smokey effect without a major hassle. I love using it for under the eye areas and smokey V's.

It is designed to be used for lining the eyes, but I have also used it  for tiny amount of concealer and even as a lip brush when I wanted a very soft look.

Remember to clean well afterwards, contamination is not sexy. I base it on the same rule as underwear, wear it once and then wash it lol.

Back to the brush. Amazing product, easy to use, achieves great effects, looks great on its own or in a collection and a resonable price tag.
