If there is anything I love more than make up, it's the brushes that help me apply it. I'm usually a Real Techniques and Nanshy girl but when this floral pack arrived, I pushed my usual favourites to the back and put The Vintage Cosmetics Company Essential Face brush set in prime grabbing position. This nifty little set comes with the three main brushes you need for the perfect base; Foundation, powder and blush. This would also be the perfect starter set for someone branching out to brushes.
The Essential Face set is cruelty free and each brush has a wooden handle, plus an aluminium ferrule which makes them easy to wash with extremely minimal shedding. My set has had three deep cleans so far and I haven't lost a single bristle, time will tell but they're fab quality.
The flat based foundation brush is light to hold and makes applying foundation effortless. I usually struggle with flat foundation brushes as I always seem to get lines but I don't have this problem with the foundation brush. The powder brush is very similar to a few of the stippling brushes I already own which makes this the perfect multi use brush. Mineral make up, powder, loose powder and blushes can all be applied with this with ease. The bristles are so soft and when buffed in, it helps leave the skin looking natural with no caking. Lastly is the blusher brush, smaller yet perfectly rounded to give a flush of colour to the apples of your cheeks.
This is my first step into The Vintage Cosmetics Company and as I already have the Smokey Eye make up brushes on my wishlist, it won't be my last. The packaging and whole feel of the products is very now and with over sixty products available, from brushes and lashes to make up bags and beauty tools, I can definitely feel a haul coming on. The Vintage Cosmetics Company is available online, Boots and very occasionally in TK Maxx.
