I have been wanting to try out different brand of brushes as I get tired of having to wash my SigmaF80 every single day! I only prefer using Sigma brushes therefore sometimes I get too lazy that I would literally NEGLECT washing it! (which is NOT a good practice-__-) I’ve tried quite a few kabuki brushes from Elf, Ellana and Marionnaud but all three brands are not even close to ¼ of Sigma’s quality >_< I have heard so many great reviews with regards to Charm Brushes so I opted to try out this brand since the price is not that expensive either =)
Here are the Charm Brushes on my recent haul: 1) Charm Vegan Contour Blush Brush Price: PHP399/ USD 10
What it claims: · Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair · Applicable for Wet or Dry blush product · Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin My Reviews: · The density of the hairs is good enough as it picks up appropriate amount of product for makeup application (especially when in comes to contouring) · The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin · The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup · The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding · Overall quality is definitely nice as it makes blush and contouring application a lot easier! ^_~
2) Charm Vegan Powder Brush Price: PHP399/ USD 10 What it claims: · Made with superior-grade animal friendly Vegan Hair · Offers luxurious experience while applying makeup that feels silk on the skin · Able to distribute powder evenly across face My Reviews: · The hairs are pretty soft and does feels nice on skin · The length of the hairs is longer compared to Sigma but it didn’t lead to any hindrance when applying makeup · The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding · Overall quality is good only if they could improve on the density so that setting of powder would appear more even
3) Charm Essentials Angled Kabuki Buffer Brush Price:PHP650/USD 15 What it claims: · Made with Ultra Lush Bristles that feels velvet on skin · Allows a buildable coverage because of the density of the brush · Folds and contours skin so that no spot would be missed out My Reviews: · The hairs are super soft and skin feels velvety · Noticed that the bristles are quite thin which makes buffing and contouring application easier (simply glides on skin) · The brush itself is very sturdy which does not lead to any shredding · Overall quality is nice only if they could improve on the density so that buffing of foundation would be more even
4) Charm PRO#14 Precise Angled Liner Brush Price: PHP399/ USD 10 What it claims: · Allows to create a very precise and sharp thin line · Diagonally shaped brush can achieve the eye lining perfection My Reviews: · The brush is thin and long which makes it look quite flimsey · The glue they have used to attach the brush head has dried out so the moment I took out the brush from the sleeve; the brush head has dislocated already · I don’t think I could use this brush and able to create a perfect eye lining as the bristles are not designed steady enough · This is my least favorite brush judging with the flaw appearance and non-functional claims.
Overall Reviews of the Charm Brushes:
- I would probably rank it as 8/10 since the rinsing and drying process of these brushes does take pretty quick plus the bristles stay in shape even without a brush guard ^_~
That’s it for my recent hauls and hope you find it helpful ^_~ Thanks for dropping by =)
