In-Depth Review of BK Beauty Makeup Brushes
When I first decided to try out BK Beauty Makeup Brushes, I was skeptical. With a collection already including favorites from Moda and Rephr, alongside various others from Amazon, my standards were high. Yet, the buzz around BK Beauty Brushes was undeniable. Over the past two years, I've gradually built my collection, which now boasts 10 BK brushes, plus two from the popular Angie Hot and Flashy line. Here's my honest, detailed exploration of each brush from the BK Beauty line that I’ve purchased, crafted to assist women who, like me, are navigating the beauty landscape with mature skin.
Here’s a quick summary of what this blog will cover:
I’ll discuss each brush I've used, discuss its strengths, weaknesses and/or how it suits mature skin's unique needs. From foundation to precision powder applications, I'll share personal insights and tips for maximizing each brush's potential. This post is designed to be a comprehensive guide for those who cherish quality makeup tools tailored for aging gracefully. It’s not about looking younger, it’s about looking our best. Let’s do this!
FACE BRUSHES
101 Contoured Foundation Brush:
This brush is a standout. Its unique doe-foot shape allows for seamless blending with minimal product—economical and effective. I've shifted from using a Beauty Blender to this brush, particularly enjoying its performance with Summer Friday's skin tint. It offers a natural blend that enhances rather than masks my mature skin.
105 Large Buffer:
An absolute workhorse, this dense yet soft brush is versatile across various makeup applications, ensuring everything blends flawlessly without settling into fine lines.
106 Round Foundation:
Ideal for contouring, this brush excels with both cream and powder products. Its design helps achieve subtle definition, perfect for avoiding the over-contoured look that can age the face.
108 Precision Powder:
A pleasant surprise in my collection, this brush is essential for targeted powder application, especially under the eyes. It works wonders with both Givenchy and Jouer Cosmetics powders, preventing creasing and cakeyness.
111 Dense Bronzer:
Though less frequently used, this brush is perfectly crafted for applying bronzers or blushes. Its soft, dense bristles offer a controlled application, ideal for achieving a natural glow without overwhelming the face.
EYE BRUSHES
202 Defined Crease:
This brush's precision is perfect for mature, hooded eyes, allowing for targeted shadow application without excessive spreading, helping to 'define' a crease beautifully.
203 Shader:
While it's been less utilized due to my preference for cream shadows applied with fingertips, this brush excels with powders, placing and blending eyeshadow with minimal fallout.
204 Smudge It:
True to its name, it smudges liners and shadows for a softer, more forgiving look, which is fantastic for older eyes where harsh lines can be unflattering.
207 Pencil Blender:
Excellent for detailed shadow or liner blending, it's perfect for smoking out lower lash lines or adding a subtle shadow under the lip to enhance fullness.
BRUSH CARE
Maintaining these brushes is crucial for both hygiene for us and performance of the brushes. I've adopted a routine of cleaning them every Saturday, which helps prolong their life and prevent skin irritation, and keeps me from being lazy about it. 😉
