elf Stipple Brush Review

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

The ELF Stipple Brush is actually one of the first brushes I pick up daily to apply my makeup. I got 2 of these from iHerb that were $3usd each so a bargain and how could I turn down. It took me so long to start using it though.

Packaging is the normal ELF Studio Collection Black handle with the white writing, came in the clear plastic wrapper, just typical of ELF.

Bristles are nice and soft which are layered and that has helped me give a even coverage over my face as I use it for foundation, it really helps get evenly in those trouble areas, I found this brush was great for kind of hiding my enlarged pores as well which for me is perfect. It really does give a great application, and is one of my favorite brushes, I even keep a second one for when the other has been washed so then I don't need to go a day without using it, just incase.

I do find however that some days if an application looks too heavy that I need to go in and buff areas to remove any cakey look, it might just be me on particular days.

Overall I love this brush, will happily continue to use and would highly recommend for others to use.

This brush is totally amazing for the price! It applies liquid foundation so well! There is also a smaller version of this brush in the same range which I actually used for powder highlighter. I personally found it gave me such a flawless finish, I absolutely love this brush <3 Definitely a must have

I picked up this brush for $5 at Kmart and boy am I glad I did! This brush is very soft, but still is stiff enough to preform well, its also easy to clean. Works with both powder and liquid makeup but I find that it preforms slightly better with powder. Very impressed and keen to try out others in the line!

I bought my e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush from Kmart, and it has a unique two-layer two-tone black and white bristle design with soft textured layers, which help to create an almost airbrushed effect when used to apply foundation.

The brush makes it easy to create a sheer to light application by swirling the brush around in circles, spreading the foundation over the skin, and can also be used to build up coverage to medium or full by dabbing or "stippling" the foundation in areas that need extra coverage. The design of the bristles makes it easy to get into those hard to reach places around the corners of the nose and under the eyes.

This brush is perfect to use with cream, liquid and even powder products, and the bristles remain soft even after many washes, just be careful not to get the ferrule wet (the metal part that holds the bristles onto the handle), as getting water inside the ferrule will cause the glue to soften and weaken, which causes bristles to fall out.

For a cheap, affordable brush, I was quite surprised that it worked so well. It's great for use on oily and combination skins, although I'd be a little wary of using a stipple brush on sensitive or very dry skin, as a brush can aggravate sensitive skin or highlight very dry patches of skin by lifting them (a sponge or beauty blender is usually best to use on very dry skin).

This was my first ever stipple brush (ive had 3 since) and this is my favourite! Light weight handle, ideal for travel, bristles have alot of longevitiy in them as they are flexible yet firm. Easy to clean and easy to use. Found this works best with liquid foundation for an even, natural coverage. No streaks are left after wards and easy to work foundation all over skin. Does not soak in alot of product so is good on money, again super affordable. Love the elf brand and their affordable, quality products

I don't use this for my foundation because of how tiny it is. It could definitely do a wonderful job, but it would take far too long. For cream blush, highlighter, bronzer..? Absolutely perfect. It gives such a natural, almost air brushed look to the skin and it's so easy to blend anything and everything. I love it and if they come out with a bigger version, I will gladly buy it for my foundation.

It's super soft and fluffy and doesn't pick up too much or too little product. It's perfect for getting under the cheekbones, on the cheekbones, on TOP of the cheekbones and just anywhere you might need to highlight, contour or apply blush. I think I paid $10 for mine and KMart and I think that's crazy affordable and anyone can benefit from having a brush like this in their collection.

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!

One of the first brushes I bought and it turns out it's one of the best. Didn't anything wonderful from a cheap brush but wow.

Using it after applying all foundation/powder etc. gives a smooth airbrushed effect. Using it to apply foundation is similar and allows you to use only small amounts with little wastage.

Haven't had any issue with shedding, it cleans up well and doesn't lose shape. Nice and soft.

I love this stipple brush and find myself reaching for it more than my other more high end makeup brushes. Its lovely and sturdy, feels comfortable in hand. The stipple brushes on here are smaller than other brands i have tried, making it better for concealer rather than foundation.
