Askmewhats Reviews: Ecotools Bamboo Eyeliner Brush

Hello everyone!!!

I'm alive and kicking because I had a good sleep yesterday! :) I am happy because I don't have work on Monday!!! I did say that right? But I want to shout it to the world!!! NO WORK ON A MONDAY!!!! Weeeeeeee!!!! lol

Before I go ballistic on a no work on Monday mode... let me proceed with my usual product reviews! :)

I have 2 reviews for Ecotools, one for the 5pcs brush set and the other one for the eyeliner brush. I will start with the Ecotools Eyeliner Brush because I am taking more time to "get to know" my 5-pcs brush set :)

This is what I got from MakeupMix Shop.

Pros
  • Each product are packed well! So professional looking!

  • brush is perfectly shaped, not too thin or thick, just the right shape and size to line your eyes!

Overall

I love this brush! I did say my HG brush is my Smashbox Eyeliner brush, but my smashbox isn't angled. The Ecotools Bamboo eyeliner brush is angled perfectly and applying gel liner or e/s as liner is a breeze. So easy to use, it's definitely fool proof!

Seeing "Made In China" could make people react, but this is definitely made with great quality control. I love how it looks so expensive but the price is so affordable. Recently a reader left a comment on my cbox asking for a great gel liner brush, I would say this is the best especially if you're just starting to apply gel liner!

I love this brush!

Tips
  • wipe or wash your brushes gently
  • if you use this brush for gel liners, clean the brush hairs with oil first before you proceed with regular brush cleanser.
  • you can also use this brush to apply liner using your eyeshadows!
Will I repurchase?

If needed, YES!

Where can I purchase and how much?

At the Makeup Mix Shop for $3.75 (approx Php 185.00)

Askmewhats Version: "April Fool's Day" Blues

Happy April Fools Day Everyone!

There isn't anything exciting about people fooling each other. So I won't do any of those! hahaha I have made a look though, it's April Fool's Day Blues.

I revisited my Laura Mercier quad and I can't believe I didn't touch it for awhile.



How did I achieve this look?


Step 1:

Before anything else, I applied CS Silk White Gel Liner on lid as base. Pat using my fingers.


Using a fluffy blending brush, apply Laura Mercier light blue color all over lid



Step 2:


With a flat shader brush, apply the darkest color from the LM Blue Sky Quad on the lid area, slowly blending outward.


Step 3:


Highlight the browbone and inner corner with any soft brush using my favorite Bourjois Beige Rose.



Step 4:

Line my eyes with CS True Black, wing it a bit, apply the lower lashline too



Curled my lashes and applied mascara



Here's the Look






April Fool's Blues! :)



And what's on the rest of my face?



For the face



MAC SF liquid NC30
mixed with CG TruBlend no.1

For the Cheeks



MAC Grand Duo Blush
in Light over Dark




Top a bit with P&J Face Color 08

For the Lips



Conceal the color of my lips
with ELF Tone Correcting concealer Light
Use In2It lipstick in Fresco


Enjoying the summer?

Happy April Fool's Day!
Don't let people fool you today! :)
Stay Happy!
