Artis Makeup brushes –Is it truly worth the hype,An honest Review!
‘Artis’ is one of the most hyped product in the market, from beauty
guru’s to glam bloggers- everyone seems to have gone ga-ga over it-
and Million Dollar question is-Is it truly worth it? Are the extra bucks justified?
I was lucky to get my hands on Elite Smoke 5 Brush Set, I
have been a religious user and borderline obsessed with the brushes ever since
I got them! The set consists of 5 brushes which includes Oval 6 used
for foundation, blush and contour application. Oval 4 and Oval3 for
eye makeup application and Linear 1 and Circle 1.
Artis takes re-invention super seriously! As a brand they are dedicated
to bringing out cutting edge tools and techniques pushing the creative and
design envelope time and again! And they take utmost pride in creating ethical
and aesthetically glorious brushes.
Now the most prominent feature of the brush is the shape itself. The
handle of the brush bend a bit whilst you work it on your face making the
application process super easy.The design suits multi-purpose and with
extremely soft and cushion-y texture, the brushes are super easy on your face!
The strong grip and rubberized handle gives it a strong 10/10 on ergonomics!
The brushes are made of CosmeFibre hair, an engineered solution by Artis
and performs well with powders, emollients and liquids without any degradation.
Oval 6— the brand claims its best used to apply foundation/blush/contour application. I gave it a try as a foundation brush and I must confess I wasn’t really a fan! The Oval 7/8 would be a better choice as your foundation brush, as it blends like a dream! Oval 6 is your partner in crime for some contouring action and applying the all-important concealer.
Oval 3 can be used in blending or shading the products applied to the
outside and inner corners of the eyelids. It can be also used to apply the
foundation/concealer to the side corner of the eyes or on the side of the nose.
I use this brush to apply eyeshadow to the center of my eyes and sometimes to
smoke out the corner of my eyes.
Linear 1 has a narrow row of fibers to help concentrate product application
in a line, especially along the lash line and also to apply a defined line
along the lips/to clean around the lips. It’s absolutely perfect for the brows
for creating a clean,defined line.
Circle 1 has a tilt from the handle and a round fibre bundle, which helps
to apply lip products across the lip quickly and softly. It can also be used
for a more precise edge if desired. It’s certainly versatile – be it to help
conceal the spots, to even applying your lipstick- I am pretty hooked onto my
Circle1.
I have been using the Elite Smoke Set for almost a month now and yes,
there was a round of ardent cleaning too! Now hold tight, its super –duper easy
to clean these babies!Not a shed of fiber and they retain their shape
with utmost perfection compared to the established brands in the market.These
take slightly longer to dry out as the brushes are to the denser side.
If I were to sum up my Artis experience in one word it would be – LUXE.
It certainly lives up to being the ‘Rolls Royce’ of all makeup brushes!
Now is it a must- have? I would say- not really! With all the good makeup
brushes out there at affordable prices and if you are on a tight budget, you
can very well do without this one! But if you are all about ‘upping the ante’ –
then this brush would be a good addition to the collection. For all the
professional MakeupArtists out there, circle1 will certainly help with
clean crisp lip looks.
Now another big plus about Artis is how little product the brushes sweep
up! A little certainly goes a long way with these brushes, creating your
perfect flawless look.
The Elite Smoke 5 Brush Set is priced at 171GBP and
available at Net-a-porter
Until Next Time!
