My favorite brushes for the face.

These brushes are from landmark! can you believe it? and it didn't cost me more than 200 php! They are cheaper than marrionaud brushes but from my experience i prefer the ones at landmark. I just love the quality of these brushes and they almost have all of the brushes you need from face to eye shadow brushes and many more. I got these brushes from landmark Makati. They also frequently update their products and their products do go out of stock so if you happen to see one of these still available i suggest you go try it :)


1) Flat top brush.



This brush looks like the sigma flat top kabuki F80 brush and can may be a dupe for it not yet sure about that because i haven't tried the sigma brush yet but a dupe or not I AM IN LOVE WITH THE BRUSH!





The bristles are very dense and soft and remains that way. I had this brush for about 4 months now and it still performs and feels brand new! :) I have another one for back up this is how much i love it!





WHAT I LOVE:

- blends foundation well and you can use it with every type of foundation you have.
- It gives you that airbrushed effect that i have never experience using other brushes
- VERY AFFORDABLE
- I have washed this brush more than 30 times it doesn't shed
- ALL AROUND BRUSH when i travel i just bring this brush for my foundation. powder, blush and for contour.


WHAT I DON'T LOVE:

-This is one of the don'ts off all the brushes from landmark is it's availability because they do get out of stock fast!


2) Angled Top Kabuki brush





This brush also looks like the Sigma Angled Top Kabuki F 84 brush it looks like an exact dupe of it. It's also like the marionnaud angled brush but better and cheaper! I love this brush because it is perfect for applying blush and contouring your face and it can also be used for foundation and powder application. I personally use this for my blush and for setting my foundation with powder and it does a great job.




WHAT I LOVE:

- makes your blush application an ease and looks absolutely flawless
- doesn't shed i had this as long as i had the flat top brush
-remains soft after several washing
- When washed properly there would not be any makeup stains
- the bristles are dense
- all around brush


WHAT I DON'T LOVE:

- Availability of the product
-this brush is too big for creating a strong contour for your cheek bones you will need a certain technique to be able to do that.


3) Retractable kabuki brush.





This is just a simple kabuki brush but I can never go out without this brush in my bag. I use this to retouch my makeup. This is very convenient and it serves it purposes well.







WHAT I LOVE:

- The bristles of the brush are dense and soft.
- doesn't shed or bleed.
- it is easy to clean and dries up fast.
- the fact that its retractable!


WHAT I DON'T LOVE:

- Availability of the product
-The packaging it is a little big for my liking i prefer it to be smaller.






This brush is perfect for contour because it fits the frame of my face well comparing to the flat top angled kabuki brush that is bigger. I love this brush because i prefer my contour brush not to be too dense so the product will not be too pigmented when applied.





WHAT I LOVE:

- The brush doesn't shed and bristles are soft
- does a great job in contouring the face and having that chiseled J-Lo look ;)

WHAT I DON'T LOVE:

- NONE


Thanks for the read!
