Reader’s Request: Etude House Makeup Brushes
After a lot of delaying, finally, I have time to write a proper review on this.
Sorry for delaying!
My first brush from Etude House is the Etude House Dual Fibre Cheek (Glow) Brush, I won’t be reviewing this again since I have reviewed it before, so click on the link to read about it more
But honestly, with the sales that’s going on, (40% off on brushes!), get it!
And my second brush is this…
The Oblique Shading Brush!
It measures more or less the same length as the Dual Fibre, so I didn’t take a snapshot of it.
It’s very very soft, and dense and fluffy! The softness is comparable to EDM’s Angled Blush Brush, and I think it’s even softer than Posh White Angled Blush Brush, maybe I’ll do a comparison if there’s any request
I’ve already washed the brush and no bleeding. However, there’s a little bit of shedding, say 2 or 3 hairs? But otherwise everything’s fine. Made of pony’s hair and definitely feels great on the face!
Picks up enough powder for a nice wash of colours on my cheeks, doesn’t streak and even if it does, a quick buffing is all it needs
This is the oblique shadow brush.
I have also washed this before using it, and like the Oblique Shading Brush, no bleeding but a little shedding did happen. But it’s still as full and dense just like how I bought it.
Made of pony’s hair, it’s the same softness as the Shading Brush.
It’s quite a multipurpose brush, especially if you are only working with only 2 colours. I use the flat side as an all over wash brush, and then using the slanted tip area to put a darker colour on my small crease area. Gently blend away, and you are done!
As the brush is rather big, if you really small eye area to work with, you might find this a nuisance. Best get a tapered crease eye brush like MAC 226 or other similar eyeshadow brushes.
The last brush i bought is the Eye Contour Brush.
It is pretty much similar to the Oblique Shadow Brush, and this is a very very common brush. Great to apply colour on your entire lid. Same softness and puts on colour evenly.
I haven’t use the Pink Liner brush, so I can’t review that, but Etude House brushes are quite worth looking into. For the price and with the on going sales, you should pick some brushes from them.
My recommendations?
Get the Dual Fibre! If you don’t want to fork out RM180 for a MAC187 or RM140 for MAC188 (which prices will increase soon!), then this is your best bet! Great for foundation application, whether it’s powder or liquid, great for blushes and bronzers too! Liquid, cream, powder, you name it!
If you are a makeup beginner and have a tight budget, get the only the Dual Fibre and Oblique Shadow Brush then, because you can get put your lid colour and also your crease colour using the same brush effortlessly.
If you are a makeup beginner and have the moolah to spend, get ALL brushes! I think Etude House brushes are really lovely without breaking your bank, and with the sales, you save more!
Etude House is available in 1 Utama, Kepong Metro Prima (the one with Jusco), Sunway Pyramid and Times Square. Last I heard it’s available in Sg Wang too.
Have fun!

I heart Etude’s skunk brush!! I picked up a few for backups and they are FAB!! I have the contour brush too, yeah, common, nothing special. The slanted eyeliner brush – flimsy, maybe better for eyebrows. And some synthetic brush that looks like a mini flat foundation brush – I dunno why I bought this one, it’s quite useless. But those skunks…. awesomeness!!
[Reply]
oh. me havent used the new brush
i wanna go EH today to stock some nail stuff. hopefully the french tips are back in stock already

Janice: Sorry for tempting you!
Jenn: try it and see if you like it!
Chian Li: Haha! The brushes aren’t bad, they are quite nice
[Reply]
Puss: The skunk is awesome, I must admit! Great stuff for the price! I didn’t buy the slanted liner, as I have my good old CS taklon liner.
Hm, I didn’t see the mini flat foundation brush look-a-like tho~
Pretty: Go hang kai!
