Essential Collection Brush Set

What a great little purse to hold those instruments of creation.

I really did like the purse the brush collection came in. Each brush had it's own special place secured against the lining of the purse. It reminded me of dinner time as a child with my parents and 5 siblings- all 8 of us had our place......

I loved the luxe look of the rose gold handle on each brush, a little luxury during application goes a long way.

My favourite brush was the Kubuki brush. I loved the way I could manipulate it's shape to get the bronzer product exactly where I wanted it.

I also fell in love with the eye shadow brush, small soft, but able to dispense product exactly to the lower lid area with little fuss.

The eye liner brush was fine enough to trace a small line, rather than a clumpy uneven one.

I don't wear a lot of lipstick, so I am not sure how much use I will get from the lip brushes.

Overall I was impressed with the presentation, but also the quality and working power of this pack of brushes.

I also thought it was great value, compared to purchasing each separately.

what a lovely idea to have all your makeup brushes in one place. The bag is nice, with a good strong zipper to keep everything contained. it is probably more of a variety of brushes than I normally use. then again I found myself reaching for a lip brush to apply the nude by nature lipstick, and I would not normally have used a lip brush, but the bag makes everything so handy.. the lip brush seems to make the lipstick stick better and I definitely had longer wear when I used the brush to apply. The eye definer brush is lovely for getting a line close in to the eyelashes. The kibuki brush is great for adding finishing power - so cute! I am not sure I will use all the different brushes, but so far I have loved all the ones i have used, and will probably use them more over time.

I was delighted to be chosen to trial Nude By Nature products and very excited when I opened my package to find such an array of brushes. They came in a stylish black faux leather case with a rose gold zip containing 7 brushes each labeled for use. This was just as well as I had only used a lip brush years ago, and one for blush over the last few years. I was like a child in a lolly shop, suddenly I had all my make up out and was using the brushes to apply it - such fun! The lovely soft brushes were for - lip, eyeliner, eye blender, eye shadow, concealer, powder and one called Kabuki which is used to buff foundation or powder into the skin to polish and perfect coverage. I'm still practising and must say my skills are improving, thanks to the ease of using these brushes - my friends have even commented on my 'new look'. The set is very well priced and in my opinion well worth the investment.

I was fortunate to be able to trial Nude by Nature’s Essential Collection Professional Brush Set.

This came in a white box, the back of which showed all seven brushes included and a short line on their purpose which was great for a novice like me.

The brushes themselves came in a faux leather pouch with a rose zip, which fully opened allowing the brushes to be displayed, each kept in place by an elastic.

The bristles on all the brushes were really soft and felt of good quality. The kabuki brush had a rose gold base with a short handle which made application of powder ok; I much prefer a long handle. The other slim brushes had a charcoal coloured long handle which allowed better and easier application of make up. I only later noticed that each handle has printed on them their purpose, eg eye shadow, eye blending, powder, concealer, eye definer, kabuki, and lip brush. This was also really handy for me as I would never be able to work out or remember which brush is better for which use, and I didn’t have to keep referring to the box which outlined everything.

The eye shadow and blending brushes were probably shaped a bit big for me such that applying the shadow wasn’t as defined as I would like. I did like to shape of the lip brush, and that applied lipstick really well.

All in all this is a great simple set for you basic needs. The case is handy for travel and I can keep my lipsticks and shadow cases in it as well so it can be multipurpose!

The Nude by Nature Essential Collection brush set comes in an elegant brown zippered pouch with a gold zip containing 7 brushes with rose gold features and is perfectly designed for travelling. A huge thankyou to BH for having me on this trial team as some of my brushes definitely were ready for retirement.

The set includes everything you need with brushes for lips, eye shadows, blush and powder and foundation applications. The synthetic tapered bristles are incredibly soft and gentle on the skin. I’ve been a bit slack of late and doing 5 minute makeups as I rush out the door, so these were a great excuse to try out some new looks. All the brushes work really well for the applications they are designed for and my favourite is definitely the kabuki brush. All the brushes hold and dispense product beautifully to give a beautiful finish. The only negative I had with the kit was that there was no brow brush included.
