As most of you know, I attended IMATS NYC back in April and this is the beginning of my haul posts. I just saw no point in showing them before now since the items aren’t limited edition and because I’m lazy. Ok, ok. Mainly because I’m lazy lol. Because I don’t like long drawn out posts or long videos, I’ve decided to split my Morphe Brushes makeup brushes into separate posts and videos. I figured you could pick and choose what you wanted to read/see to make it fair for both of us. Without any further hesitation, here are the brushes I picked up! I honestly just grabbed random brushes, mainly those which I had nothing similar already. There’s definitely some unique babies in the bunch!
I’m first going to show you what I think would be considered eye brushes. Keep in mind, there’s no limitation on what you can use each brush for. I just figured it would be easier to separate them into groups.
B15 – Large Chisel Fluff Brush – Sorry for the off-focus shot on this one. This brush is great for blending out color in the crease or for applying color to the eyelid. I did notice a bit of shedding for this one. Bummer.
B77 – Oval Shadow Brush – This baby is a stiffer version of the brush previously shown. It works great to pack color onto the lid. Don’t expect an ease of blending for this one; it will take a little extra time to achieve that.
B71 – Metal Eyelash Definer – I bought this brush purely for looks, but who knows? I may find myself needing an eyelash separator. I even thought of touching the comb to a hot surface briefly of course, to use it as somewhat of an eyelash curler. Hmmm…I’ll try that out and if it works, I’ll do a separate tutorial and post 😉
B81 – Tapered Blender Brush – Because of the badger/goat hair composition, it isn’t as soft as some of the other Morphe brushes I have. This brush does however, work beautifully to apply color to the crease, or for a light wash of color on the eyelids.
B43 – Large Pointed Crease Brush – Hello MAC #226 dupe! This one had a slight hint of shedding, but that’s to be expected for most brand new brushes from my personal experience. You could use this a number of ways…from the crease, to the outer v, to the tear duct. It would also be a great smudging brush for that extra drama on the lower lash line. Obsessed.
I would now like to introduce you to my “M” series brushes of choice.
M457 – Large Duo Fiber Dome Buffer Brush – I was most excited about this brush. Too bad it sheds like cat hair. It is a really great brush for applying liquid foundation, but I just cannot get past the shedding. It’s a bit over the top for me.
M512 – Round Contour Brush – This brush is another cutie. While I haven’t used it yet, it seems like it would be the perfect concealer brush or highlighting brush. I wouldn’t use it as a blush brush because I tend to use bold colors on my cheeks and I don’t need any extra assistance with that lol. This would work well for contouring too for that extra drama in the hollows of the cheeks.
MB18 – Round Crease Brush – I know y’all are getting sick of seeing my horrid nails. Anyway, this brush pretty much serves the same purpose as the B43, minus the pointed tip. This is more of a blending version and it blends out harsh crease colors beautifully.
M334 – Mini Angled Buffer Brush – Can you say concealer again? Repeat after me: concealer, buffer, highlight, lid. You guessed it, it works wonders for all of these. I wouldn’t necessarily use this brush for highlighting the cheekbones, but under that sweet eyebrow arch? Yes, please! It’s angled, so it has a bit more flexibility for maneuvering around small areas. Such a plus.
B27 – Badger Flat Bronzer Brush – I don’t know if I would use this for bronzing since it’s so large and I typically don’t like applying bronzer to large areas of my face. However, this makes a great powder and liquid foundation brush. I didn’t notice much shedding with this one. You may find yourself needing a brush mesh thingy (whatever those things are called) to keep your brush hairs in place.
The next babies I have to show are from the “S” series. Just take a look at how adorable they are!
S3 – Deluxe Medium Foundation Brush – Nothing super special here. It’s just a slightly smaller version of the MAC #195 Foundation Brush. I don’t know why I got it honestly. *shrugs*
S4 – Deluxe Oval Concealer Brush – Concealer…again. I know, don’t shoot me. I’m a concealer fiend and I need some major brushes to back that up. That works as an excuse right? Another plus is that this will work well for moisturizing small spots of flaky skin on top of that foundation after application. Didn’t think of that, huh? Well there ya go, something other than a concealer brush…HA!
I am really pleased with all the brushes I selected. These will be some great additions to my kit and personal use, though I’m considering hoarding them primarily for myself lol. Another great thing to mention is the price point; they’re totally affordable! I highly recommend them. You may find all the brushes shown above and lots of others here.
Stay tuned for some Morphe Brushes makeup reviews and tutorials coming very soon!
