Nora's Brushes - Oval Brush Set - Smooth Collection

I’m not a heavy user of makeup, but when I do need to apply something - like a BB cream - I would normally end up using cotton pads. And inevitably always acknowledge how much of the liquid product is absorbed into the cotton. I guess it’s logical! But it was the easy and only solution I really had. However, these silicone applicators are pretty brilliant. They are soft and flexible, so easily bends to the contours of your face. I just put a bit of cream onto the applicator and so quickly and easily can spread it evenly on my face. This sort of oblong/rounded shape of the applicator is best for covering the larger areas of the face. I did have a little bit of trouble getting it to fully reach into, like, the creases around my nose, or getting close to the eyes with much level of precision… but just because you may have to use your fingers to blend in a couple small areas doesn’t negate the overall usefulness of these applicators. They wash clean SUPER easily.So if you’re putting on liquid makeup regularly, these are a wonderful product to add into your supplies. I would even say that these would be IDEAL for anyone that applies a LOT of makeup, like a stylist, someone doing costumes/halloween makeup, or if putting on a lot of layers for your own self. It speeds up the process and reduces waste. Smart product.

I have been really excited to try this silicone blender for some time now. I have been playing with different types of foundations lately, trying to find the perfect fit for me. This is not an inexpensive venture. I always get a little sad when I use a typical sponge blender or brush because I end up with product waste. I do not buy cheap foundations, so I would prefer to get the most out of my product. I used this blender a couple different ways, and I most happy using it as an applicator. I pump my foundation onto a pallet, and use the blender to apply it to areas of my face. I still use my brush to move it around and blend. Using the silicone applicator ensures that I don't need to use additional pumps or swipes of foundation which is nice. I am using about half the amount of product I was before. The applicator is soft to the touch, easily bendable and gentle on the skin. I love that is a simple and easy clean up, and I don't spend a ton of time having to put it through the same wash routine as my brushes and sponges. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

I have always used a brush or my fingers for blending but with the popularity of contouring now, I bought a contour kit and needed something better than a brush for blending so I bought this silicone makeup blender applicator. Like using your fingers, but softer and larger. I am still learning, but I find myself ditching the applicator and going back to using my fingers. My contour makeup is not soft enough so I like to put my applicator under hot water and it makes the makeup blend better. Super easy to clean too. I like it but not "in love" yet, but I may get there if I get more into contouring. Still a good product to have in your bag.

I got this brush set yesterday, and my first impression was positive. Today I put a drop of foundation on one of the brushes, and the second I put it to my face the whole brush section came unglued and fell to the floor. Luckily there were more brushes to use, but really...should this happen with the first use?

This applicator is great for applying foundation because you can use much less than if you were using a foundation brush. It is very comfortable to hold and applies easily. My only issue is that I also needed a different kind of blender because it leaves my foundation a little streaky.

Love this! Use it to replace my sponge applicator that needed to be cleaned thoroughly and a long time to dry. Now this is easy to clean and dries with a paper towel if necessary. I use this for a lot of cream products or liquid products and it goes on very smooth and evenly.

the brushes are very soft and seem to be good quality I purchased this as a gift. I am keeping the silicone applicator for myself because i have been dying to have one for some time. The only thing I could say is that the brushes are a little flexible towards the tips so i would be careful applying product, or buy metal ones if you dont like the bending of the applicator. but they seem to be great very full and soft hairs!

Love these
