Professional Makeup Brush for Contouring, Sculpting, and Blending Dense Angled Bristles with Travel Case

Perfectly-contoured faces abound on Social Media. Many tutorials demonstrate where to place contour and highlight, but there is less attention on what kind tools to use to apply the makeup and how to blend it for a natural, believable finish.WHAT THE DEVYN MARIE CONTOUR SCULPTING MAKEUP BRUSH DOESThe brush is for contouring the cheekbone, but I also found it useful for contouring a defined jawline. I frequently make the mistake of applying contour powder or cream to my jawline and not blend it well enough. But the Devyn Marie brush applies just enough product to give a nice, defined tight jawline look without looking fake or overly made up and cakey. Then it blends it smoothly, so there is no tell-tale demarcation or weird orange tinge to my skin.In addition to cheekbones and jawline, it is also useful for applying a soft dusting of contouring and highlighting powder, bronzer, or shimmer to face, décolletage, and body. It can also handle cream, or bronzer consistencies in addition to powder contour and highlighter.CONTOUR SCULPTING BRUSH FEATURESLarger than the brush heads of many contour brushes, the brush dimensions are 4 x 1 x 2.2 inches. It is easy to use and grip and fits into a bag easier than a long handle brush. The bristles have a unique shape conducive to precision contour application.HANDLEThe brush has an Ergonomic grip handle that is very easy to wield and to maneuver the brush, especially in sweeping, curved motions. There is good control of the brush and where the bristles are touching the skin due to the larger grip. The handles suitable for use in both hands, so even applying contour on your non-dominant side is much easier a task. The short handle makes it a portable tool for touchups.BRISTLESThe densely packed bristles are firmly bundled and give a high color payoff and even powder distribution. There were also no loose bristles, even during use or after washing the brush. The bristles are soft but firm enough to deliver product exactly where you want it. So far, I have not had any shedding of bristles at all.OF NOTE: The handle and bristles are made of animal-friendly, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, synthetic brushes.UNUSUAL CONTOURING SHAPEDifferent from many contouring brushes you may have seen before, the Devyn Marie Contour Brush has a unique shape that fits snuggly underneath the cheekbone, just the right spot for applying contour in the hollow of the cheek. Many competitor brushes have a slanted or curved head; these do not provide a wide enough chiseled bristle surface to easy create a cheekbone contour like the Devyn Marie Contour brush does.BRUSH CASEI once had a $200+ high-end cheek brush that made my cheekbones look exceptionally sculpted, but the bristles soon became misshapen even though I stored it within its' cardboard box. The Devyn Marie Contour Brush has a clear hard plastic case that surrounds the brush and snaps closed tightly and securely to keep the bristles from getting crushed or bent. A case that snaps shut and protects the brush and keeps it standing upright, even after washing - is something that I wish all makeup brushes had. I like that I can carry it in my bag for travel and touchups and without worrying about damaging the bristles.RESULTSThis is a very versatile brush that applies contour precisely and blends creams and powders very well without streaking! No bristles shed while using it.I like how closely the brush hugs the cheekbone to get just underneath the bone into the hollow of the cheek; it creates a much more natural contoured look that lifts the face and looks much better than what I can achieve with a traditional flat head or slanted brush. My cheekbones look sculpted without appearing unnatural.CONCLUSION: A useful contouring tool that is a cut above other contouring brushes due to its' innovative cheek hugging design, its' shed-free bristles, and ingenious snap closed case to keep the brush head shape safely intact even while in transit.

I have to say that after having this small brush for a month and contouring my face. The feel is kinda hard and abrasive against my cheek, however, it does what it is set out to do. It is flat and easier to get that high cheekbone look. After trying to figure out how exactly to use this brush, do i use the high curve or the low one. I have now just began to use it as a stamp. I cover it with my shade stamp it in the middle of both cheeks then slowly blend the product. It looks good!!

This brush is to stiff, I felt like I was removing all my make when applying bronzer. I will be returning this item.

The media could not be loaded. I gotta say I have a lot of love for this little brush. Even though it is small don't let it confuse you, it still gets the job done beautifully and it fits perfectly in my hands! Both lefties and righties will be comfortable with this lovely contour/sculpting brush!I LOVE that it has it's own case, which is something most high-end brushes don't include. Now I know that after I've cleaned it and when it's not in use it will remain clean in its case and not have any dust or debris on it next time I go to use it.The bristles are densely packed and very soft. My face is super reactive when I use products on it, and lucky for me I don't have any issues using this brush!

Cool brush but doesn't really do anything special

I am truly not a fan of this brush. When I saw the statement of how soft it was I couldn't wait to receive it. But seriously are we talking about the same brush? I tried it on powder contour and it was just meh... then I used it with cream contour. The brush got very prickly because it is sooo stiff. I have many brushes and several contour brushes and to tell the truth I was just curious because of the shape. The case is a big plus, but only if I were to use the brush... After trying it on every medium I can't say I will. Nice try. I would say make the bristles softer and even them out. Then it would be the perfect brush with included case for contouring, foundations and whatever you can throw at it. But for now just NO! I has hopes that this was a dupe for Sephora #82 contour brush. Nope, Not at all!!I'll have to return.

All I can say is wow! This brush is amazing, wasn't sure how I would like the shape of the brush but it places product nicely. I like this brush better than my MAC contour brush for a fraction of the price. Also comes with a plastic case to keep brush clean and in good shape while in your makeup bag, awesome feature and part of the reason I give it the rating that I do.

Well hopefully the bristles won't come off onto my face I just don't have a shape that will evenly apply my powder.
