xoBeauty Makeup Brushes




Any beauty guru/makeup artist worth their salt, knows the value of having great brushes at their disposal. Makeup applies better and looks better when you have the proper tools to hand. These  xoBeauty brushes are no exception. These brushes are made by my all time favourite YouTube beauty guru, Shannon Harris (shaaanxo on YouTube) and in my opinion surpass even Sigma brushes for me (sorry Sigma..) 

I purchased five brushes all together, the 4 piece synthetic face brush set and the cutest little kabuki brush! I purchased the set of face brushes as I was looking to add some new ones to my kit and these have definitely made the cut. It includes a flat/round/tapered/angled top brush. I used them on three clients going to a wedding, and the foundation just applied like a dream! My favourite is the angled one, it leaves foundation looking flawless and beautifully applied.

The little kabuki is no exception either. This little guy applies powder in a nice thin layer and would be great for those who love powder foundations. None of these brushes have shed at all which is fab as that is a huge pet peeve of mine! Another plus is the price! The face brush set is $80 NZ which is roughly about €50, and the little kabuki is only about €14. Shipping is a flat $10 internationally (€6). Considering this is a relatively small company, the prices are amazing! A complete 10/10 Shannon! I cannot wait to buy more of these fab brushes! I also need to check out the lashes too. ;)
