After doing lots of different makeup only posts, I have decided to do a review on brushes, prolly will have more upcoming posts on other brushes that I use regularly.

For only 1usd, these brushes are super amazing. If you are very new to makeup tools and do not want to spend a bomb on it, you could try ELF brushes as they are uber cheap and still works well.
I have owned this brushes for a really long time, about 4-5 years and even after trying other types of eyeshadow brushes (I mean affortable eyeshadow brushes) I still tend to use ELF these two elf eyeshadow brushes. These brushes are from the main collection

ELF eye shadow brush is used to apply eyeshadow all over the lid area and ELF blending brush is used to blend your eyeshadow or can be used to apply a contour colour at the eye socket area.

Pros:
- have soft and firm bristles (but not as fantastic as high end ones)
- bristles are very densily packed
- able to apply eyeshadow colour very quickly with it and the blending brush is able to blend well without
  feeling like something is scratching your skin
- brushes do not smell

Cons:
- it may shead on the first few times but it will be fine after a while
- ELF brushes may not be of consistant quality, sometimes the brush quality may differ

Do note that not all elf brushes are good especially from the main collection, I have purchased overall face powder brush, angled blusher brush and a smudge brush in the past and all of them sucked really really bad. I have yet to try the studio collection eye shadow brushes but did purchase two face brushes recently. I may do a review on it in the future.

I think ELF brushes in the UK in more expensive than in the US, to check out more:
