Natural Beauty?
I’m not exactly what you would call a natural beauty. In other words, I’m a bit self conscious of my face when I don’t have makeup on. It might be my uneven skin tone or the fact that my eyes look much smaller and very tired without makeup. Whatever it is, I like makeup. To get the look I want, I’ve learned that makeup brushes are important. Back in the day – oh about 7-8 years ago, I was a pageant girl. At one point, I was able to meet with a very talented makeup artist who gave me some great tips in putting on my makeup. This is the point that I started using brushes. I found some that I really liked, but they were very pricey. Over the years, I have bought different brushes. Expensive, cheap, full sized, travel. I think I have a pretty good opinion of what I like at this point. So naturally, when EcoTools came along, I was ready to sample their brushes.

Pros: I’ve never tried a line of natural brushes, and I have to say I quite like these. I was sent the bamboo bronzer brush and the 6 piece Eye Brush Set. My very first thought was how soft the brushes are on my face. The bristles are all made from synthetic taklon, and are cruelty free. Below I have pictured my bronzer/powder brush I use now as well as the EcoTools bronzer brush. I actually paid $8 more for my brush that I have now and I like the EcoTools brush better. It is softer , and feels fuller, plus it gives more as it brushes across my face.

In the next picture, you can see my travel set that I have been using (top), and the travel set that EcoTools sent me (bottom). I’m actually missing one of my brushes in my old set. It must have fallen out at one point because it is no where to be found. I like that the EcoTools set has a mirror and the brushes are held in by elastic. Sometimes with travel brushes, you get brushes that are thin and flimsy. This particular set is thick, holds up well, and still has that super soft feel.

Cons: The handle on the Bronzer blush is a bit thick and chunky. I think it will take some time for me to get used to. No more complaints here. Did I mention they are very inexpensive? Two thumbs up on that one.
