Hey guys! So today I am doing a review of the Essence of Beauty Crease Brush Duo Eyes. I initially discovered these brushes due to EmilyNoel83 (hands down one of my favorite beauty gurus) consistently rave over these brushes. Naturally, a year or so back, I picked these up when CVS had a sale on these brushes. After more than a year of using these brushes, I am finally giving them a review!
These brushes are a bit on the shorter side length wise. The majority of my makeup brushes tower over these, which makes it a bit difficult to fine when I am searching for them. Personally, I would've preferred the brushes to be a bit longer in length, but that is not a big strike in my books. I have notice slight shedding during the first couple of washes, but after that I have not experienced any shedding. The brush hairs are soft, not harsh or scratchy when I use windshield wiper motions across my eyelids. Both of these brushes pick up product very nicely, there is no need to go back and forth excessively to pick up more eyeshadows.

Essence of Beauty Crease Brush:
Hands down, one of my favorite brushes for crease work. This brush works wonders on my small Asian eyes. It is not too big to cause eyeshadows to creep way too close to the browbone, but not too small where I spend forever blending out my eyeshadows. This brush is perfect to work on darkening up the outer third of your eye. The brush fits right into my crease with ease and while it does not blend out eyeshadows as easily as my Mac 217 Brush it still does a very good job in blending out color without spreading it everywhere. I also like using this brush to place bronzer along the sides of my nose to contour! If I'm in a pinch, I could use this brush also to blend out, but I prefer going in with another brush to blend out the contour!
Essence of Beauty Fine Crease Brush:
This is the only pencil brush I own, after grabbing this early on in my makeup hoarding days I never felt the need to purchase another pencil brush (although of course, that can easily change just because... I am after all a hoarder). This brush is wonderful for adding eyeshadows onto the lower lash line, something that most traditional smudge brushes (like the Elf Essential Smudge Brush) are incapable of doing because they to big for my petite eyes. This brush is also great for precise placement of eyeshadow into the outer corner of your eye (which is very important when you are creating smokey eyes)! I also like using this brush for smudging out any eyeliner on both my upper and lower lashline!
Final Verdict:
Forget walking to CVS to get these, RUN...especially if you have small eyes like I do. They made me not lose hope on finding crease brushes that were just right (Goldilocks style) for my eyes. Trust me, they will be a makeup game changer!
What are your makeup essential brushes? Recommend me some eye brushes, I'm always on the look out for those!
