Eco Tools Bronzer Brush Review

A Day in the Life of Rachel
I, being new to the world of makeup, have not tried any expensive brushes such as MAC, which happens to be the company I hear most about. In my many google searches I have looked for cheap brushes that get good reviews and then I go look for them cheaper....this is exactly what I did to find this brush.

I first heard of Ecotools while on youtube looking up videos about cheap brushes that are comparable to more expensive brushes.  I found them on ulta.com, and parispresents.com, which I think is the manufacturer. 
Over some time I bought the 6 mini brush set, an eyeshadow brush, the bronzer brush and the powder brush. I LOVE THEM ALL. Anyway, let me get started on the bronzer brush.

This is probably the softest brush EVER. My friends go GAGA over it, it has never shed or anything. I love this brush so much I can't even explain.

When I finally got this brush in the mail, I was SUPER surprised at the size. This thing is massive. The handle is made of a thick piece of bamboo, and the silver thing (ferrule) is made of recycled aluminum. According to the packaging this brush is 100% cruelty free because of its soft taklon bristles and the storage pouch is reusable.

I know I already said this but the bristles are super soft and the bristles are so tightly packed in this brush that it makes for a very dense brush. This thing takes 24 hours to dry if that tells you anything.

I have no idea why the company calls this a bronzer brush because this is in NO WAY a bronzer brush. If you tried to bronze with this you would bronze up your whole face. I prefer to use this for blending my foundation into my skin and for applying blush though I have heard of some really crazy uses for this on youtube.

I don't wear heavy foundation, because I don't need it, I prefer to 'spot clean' by dabbing where I need it, which tends to be around my nose and eyes, and then blending it into my skin with this brush. If you wear a loose powder foundation you could use this like a kabuki to apply it, if you just wear powder you could use this to buff it into your skin.

If I want to use this to apply blush, I just swipe it across my blush and apply it to my face and it creates such a nice natural look.

The bristles on this brush are 2 different colors. The top is brown and closer to the handle is like a beige color and Etched or burnt or whatever into the side is the name ecoTOOLS.

I love this brush so much that I think I might go buy another one. I bought it for $7.49 on LuckyVitamin.com but its at drugstores as well for about $11.99 and up. I highly recommend this brush and I hope this review helps you.
