elf Stipple Brush Review

I bought this brush off I herb over a year ago when I was first getting into using brushes for my foundation. I'd seen quite a few people on YouTube rave about how amazing this was to get a flawless finish. Being an elf product, this is super cheap -$3 us.

The brush looks nice, not cheap like the price tag and the bristles are really soft. Stipple brushes a quite unique in looks, they start off dense at the base and then for the last cm at the top there is only about half The bristles coming through. It feels spiky but in a soft way if that makes any kind of Sense!

My first time using this with foundation was a total fail. I was left with a patchy, unblended mess no matter how hard i worked with the brush to get it even. I ended up having to use my fingers to rescue my face and that led to this brush going into the bottom of my brush box, never to see light again.

That is until about a month or two ago when i saw on here that it was great with cream blushes. I have a maybelline cream blush that was being neglected so I decided to pull these two items out of my collection and see what magic I could make.

I don't know how this brush does it, but it blends the blush on my cheeks perfectly. It leaves no harsh lines, no patches, doesn't sink into my pores and just makes it look natural. It amazes me how this brush can be so awful for foundation but so outstanding for blush.

This brush washes up well, i just use baby shampoo and a silicone mat. The white bristles have a slight stain from the blush after cleaning but nothing major. I haven't had any bristle fallout either.

If you love cream blush, I would absolutely recommend this to you. If you want a foundation brush, definitely look Elsewhere! If this brush ever broke, i would repurchase it.

The E.L.F studio brushes are well known for being great value and this is no different.

Never sheds and gives you an airbrushed look with cream and liquid products. I also use it for blending out powder products and it works just as well for that too.

It's not too dense so if you were aiming for a more fuller coverage with liquid products i.e. foundation I wouldn't use this. It would probably take you forever to get the coverage you wanted. If you were going for a more sheer, natural coverage it works.

It's best for cream blushes though. I use it with my cream colour base from MAC and it's amazing to apply my highlight.

It's nice and soft so blends your products like a dream. You don't get harsh lines with this brush at all.

I just purchased this brush mostly because it was super affordable. I really like medium/full coverage foundation and this wasn't the brush for me, made me look quite cakey becauce i have slightly oily skin! However i really love using this brush to blend my makeup around my ears and down neck because its not to dense like other brushes and its so nice and soft. Wonderful with cream blushes and to add subtle highlights.

This brush is my go-to brush for cream blusher. That's all I really use it for as I prefer other brushes for my foundation etc. It is beautifully soft and odes a great job. I find it picks up the perfect amount of product as well so I never end up with a blush overkill

For the price this brush is great. The synthetic brushes are soft and are great at applying and blending cream blushes and highlighters. Because the brush isn't very dense it blends the cream products and leaves an airbrushed finished. Can also be used with powder blushes and highlighters and leaves a nice finish.

This was the first brush I used when I started using a brush to apply my liquid foundation - being cheaper than other brands I didn't feel like I was making a huge investment in a tool I may not like.

It's very easy to use and gives my makeup an airbrushed look - something the old sponge can't. I also use it for applying powder and blushes - it's extremely versatile.

My only downside to this is that I found the bristles come out all the time. However it's not enough to stop me using it!

This was my first brush I ever had . I was so unsure of how confident I would be with brushes and if they were better than a beauty blender. But this was awesome ! Especially for a first brush . I didn't want full coverage and that's what it achieved. I definitely recommend this to my friends who don't have brushes or are new to make up !

I have used other ELF brushes, so when I seen this new one, I had to try it. Once again ELF has given us a makeup brush that delivers as promised. I have used the stipple brush with both powders, and creams and it works beautifully.

This is the first and only stipple brush I have ever owned. I was an avid beauty blender user until watching a few you tube tutorials that used a stippling brush. I didn’t want to shell out too much money in case I hated using it as I made this mistake with a foundation brush and it just never applied right for me.

This is a classic looking stipple brush typical in appearance of other ELF brushes. The bristles felt and nice and soft to the touch and I was excited to give this a whirl.

I used this with my Estee Lauder double wear foundation, I probably didn’t use it quite as its maybe meant to be used but for me I pour a little bit of foundation out onto the back of my hand and then dipped the stipple brush into it. I then start on one side of my face and lightly touch my skin and just brush in circlular motions but gently so as not to squash the bristles down into my face. This gave me a really lovely airbrush finish with the doublewear really nice and natural and I think using the brush this way meant I used a lot less product which is always a bonus.

This gave a fabulous finish and I was really pleased with my purchase.

I had seen people had used this with their cream blushes and I had a really bright revlon crème blush that I decided to give this a go with as its such a bright colour you have to be super duper light handed when applying it or you look very clown like !.

This was the perfect tool to get a really light natural looking crème blush finish ! – that blush does not have to go to waste anymore .

All in all I was super duper happy with this purchase for such an affordable price I’m pleased this took my stipple brush virginity 

I love most of the e.l.f studio line brushes and this one is no different. I mainly use it for blush, Its perfect for a slight wash of color over the cheeks. I purchase mine of the elf website in bulk hauls and forward it using youshop. I really dont see the need to spend money on more expensive brands when elf has done an amazing job with their studio line brushes
