I recently bought 4 thin art brushes for 99p from the Works, and I wanted to try them out for eye liner. I've got an angled eyeliner brush, but I recently discovered that the eyeliner brush is a fake from a fake set of ecotools brushes I bought off Ebay. Disappointing, but I think I might prefer thin art like brushes rather than the angled brush anyhow.
The brushes come in 4 different hair lengths, and I chose two for my experiment.
BRAND: Boldmere
5/0 Boldmere (The longer haired one)
10/0 Boldmere (The shorter haired one)
Since the brushes were cheap, I expected a few odd sticking out hairs which I cut off.
RESULTS:
Pretty darn good for what they are. Bear in mind that my eyeliner wasn't the newest product, (The Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner) and I think had I warmed up the product everything would have been smoother! These brushes work. I would recommend using the 10/0 Boldmere brush, since it is smaller, but the longer brush is only a tiny bit harder to use with a tiny bit less control.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you want a nice cheap eye liner brush, try looking in art shops now and then. These can do the job pretty well. They aren't really comparable to real eye liner brushes in the sense that they are pointed and have an odd hair sticking out, but they definitely do a decent job! (Until you save up for a nicer eye liner brush at least! )
Sorry for the lack of actual pictures everyone! I stupidly wiped off the eyeliner before realising I should do a blog post! XP
