beginners brush set

These brushes have a very classic design with dark brown soft bristles and a black stick, they look good and feel easy to use.

The first brush was not as good at applying product as opposed to something more dense but it was good for blending out harsh lines of shadow in the crease.

The second brush that is a more rounded top was very good for gentle blending around the outer v and getting rid of harsh lines without making my eyeshadow look messy.

I think that one thing that could have been improved was a slightly more variety in size for the brushes as both are a very similar size so if you needed something for more precision you would need to buy a different brush

I think this brush set would be very good for a beginner who is starting to blend and use different eyeshadow techniques, it compares to high end brushes but the price does not reflect that as they are very affordable.

Tips: Use these brushes for blending rather than application of heavy product

Carousel Cosmetics Perfect Eyes

These brushes are absolutely gorgeous! Soft and fluffy, and the handle us sleek and has a nice feel in the hand. I honestly adore these brushes, I bought these and straight away went a bought a bigger brush set! I think they'd be fantastic for anyone from beginners to MUAs like myself, they're so comfortable to use and work beautifully. 10/10 would recommend.

A duo that works in perfect harmony

I have always found it hard to find eyeshadow brushes that work for my hooded eyes to make them pop without over doing it. I usually resort to using my fingers and then rub off excess shadow to avoid the mutton dressed as lamb scenario. That was until these absolutely perfect brushes found their way in to my mailbox and now the newest members of my brush family.

I had never heard of Carousel Cosmetics so of course not being a familiar brand I was skeptical about how well they would perform. My expectations were to be blown wide open when I found myself loving these far more than my real techniques brushes! Gasp! Shock horror I know!! For me I have large hands for a girl so I find it hard to work an eye brush that is far too small for my mits. These are perfect for me. They are long and quality made from what I have found. They are almost paintbrush like which is very fitting considering they create and are themselves masterpieces.

The bristles......so soft and feathery for the applicator brush and distributes that shadow perfectly every time with no fuss. The blending brush spooked me a little bit because blending has never been my forte at the best of times. I kept an open mind and plodded on. I decided to go for the age old smokey eye look with a light base and a dark purple smoke at the edge. It's almost as if the brushes have magnets in them because that shadow wasn't going anywhere. It stayed put in the bristles and went on to my eye without any fall out....SCORE!

With the blending brush it made it feel almost effortless. I just rubbed it across my lid in the blending motion and low and behold smoked eye!! I was ecstatic and every single time after that the same thing happened. These brushes now take pride of place in my top makeup draw along with my other holy grail brushes! The only complaint I would have is that the brush type isn't clear. For someone like me that is still learning what each brush does I have no idea which is which until I google searched it. But for me that is minor and doesn't hurt the quality of these babies. New besties!

Tips: Google the brush sort if you are not sure because for me as a learner I thought the blender was the applicator and vice versa.

Didn't think I needed this... until I tried it

Ok I am going to be honest, up until I received these brushes, I used my finger to apply eye shadow. I didn't think I needed a brush, and I hate those foam things that come with the eyeshadow.

Well well well... how wrong was I? Ok so these brushes feel amazing! They are so soft and delicate that they truly are a pleasure to use. I find that they provide amazing coverage, especially with the light shades.

There is only one con that I can think of, and that is that they don't hold much powder. I find that with the darker colors especially, I need to apply quite a few layers to get the desired effect.

Tips: Be prepared to apply quite a few layers of darker colors.

Fantastic Starter Set

After seeing Carousel Cosmetics here on BR quite a few times I thought it was about time that I did a Beauty Bliss order! One of the first things that made it into my basket was the Perfect Eyes Makeup Brush Duo. This includes the Shader brush and the Tapered Blending brush. In this set it cost me $14.95 but if you buy them individually they are $9 ea, so it is a fantastic deal.

The brushes came in a wee purple cardboard box that promptly went in the recycling bin. I must say though I do love the Carousel Cosmetics logo with the wee carousel horse, very cute. The brushes themselves have a black long handle that is very light, and the brush hairs themselves are crazy soft and brown.

They say to use the shader brush to apply the shadow to your lid and the blending brush to ... blend. However I see them a wee bit differently in my collection and have been using the blending brush to put shadow all over my lid and the shader brush to put some colour in my crease as it is nicely flat and tapered so perfect for me to get in there. Never feel confined to what it says you should use the brush for!

These pick up the eyeshadows really well and feel nice and soft on the eye, not at all scratchy. I haven't had any problems with them shedding at all. They cleaned up really easily and dried fast as they are synthetic.

I would recommend this set to any beginner in makeup as it is a fantastic all purpose eyeshadow set at a extremely reasonable price.

Perfect duo

This pair of brushes are thee prefect combo fo applying eyeshadow and blending it!

The sharper brush I use for applying eyeshadow to get it in the precise place I want it, shading it into the area I want it. I usually use it for my lining my lid crease or applying colour to my outer corner. Its soft yet picks up shades perfectly.

The tapered blending brush I use to go over what I've applied to blend the shades together or individually. A pretty straightforward tool! However combined they work perfectly as a duo.

These brushes are long, sleek and black in the handle and brown in bristle with the logo imprinted on the handle.

The only thing to be wary of that I found was upon washing them using a cleaning mat to do this lightly! I found when my shader brush dried there were stray hairs poking out that I needed to cut off. Gently wash, and hang upside down if possible!

Perfect pair, affordable duo!

A place in my brush collection

These brushes have found their way into my most used brush collection. I have a few brushes that I use often and after receiving these I have used them nearly every day!

The brown bristles are nice and soft, but remain sturdy and easy to use. I wasn't entirely sure which brush was which at first as they are quite similar in size, the blending brush is just a little rounder. I think it would be better if one of the brushes was smaller than the other. The black handles are just the right size, they're not too thick and not too thin.

My everyday look consists of nude eyeshadows and soft browns with eyeliner. I wouldn't recommend these brushes for darker eyeshadows or anything intricate as they are on the larger side which makes them harder to control, with more natural colours they are brilliant.

I've tried them with my all of my favourite eyeshadows and it all goes on nice and smooth. The blending brush really does help to blend, I have a couple of other brushes that claim to be blending brushes but can't get the job done, but these Carousel ones sure do.

They were also easy to wash and didn't lose any of the bristles.

Tips: Fast and easy application for more natural colours. It was quite hard to get more detailed and darker eyeshadows to look good as they're not very small brushes!

Carousels Brushes

For months I had been watching these brushes on Beauty Bliss. I would often go on their site to look at their carousel brushes. When I saw them added to the vault I knew I had to have them. I've never tried any products from Carousel before. This Brush set is my first experience using a brush set duo.

When my package arrieved in the mail I was keen to open it up. This brush set came in a purple long rectangular thin box. The box wasn't very sturdy. It was easily crinkled. I love this horse branding thats on the packet too.

Visually looking at them they remind me of a paint brush. The handle of the brush is black. The bristles are incased in a silver band. When I felt the bristles they felt soft . After washing them they lost their softness. The bristles are quite firmly incased. I haven't experinced any fall out so far.

When I applied my mellow eye shadow to my eyes using these brushes they get covered really well. I like how they blend out nicely over my crease. I really enjoy using these brushes. I think $15 dollars is pretty cheap for brushes that blends nicely. I use these same brushes with the eye shadow Im wearing in my profile picture. Im really happy with end results. I hope to try more carousel products in the future.

Duo carousel eyebrush

The packaging that these little eye brushes are cute and are packed individually inside their wrappers. The brushes are a sleek black design and the hair is soft yet durable. These brushes are alright to pick up eye shadow colours but if you want to enhance the colour I would recommend slightly wetting the tip of the brush to darken the colour. These are easy to clean and reuse without worrying that that hair of the brush is going to come out. If you want an affordable brush I would recommend purchasing these to all.

Tips: With the eye shadow brush pick a small amount up at a time and gradually build it up till you reach the colour you want
