Although we’re currently in lockdown, this doesn’t give us the excuse to let our makeup gather dust. Now is the ideal time to ‘brush up’ (excuse the pun!) and improve our makeup skills. However, we remember being told by an esteemed makeup artist that when applying makeup it’s all down to the quality of brushes and ‘technique, technique, technique’. So imagine our delight when The Amazing Blog received this very timely Lily England’s Marble Luxe Makeup Brush Set & Bag in Black and Rose Gold.
Lily England is a British beauty brand created in 2015 by Kayleigh Graham, who previously worked in social media with brands like Selfridges and Burberry. That was when she spotted a gap in the market for stylish makeup brushes and bags, that were both affordable and mirrored the millennial trends. The brand is cruelty-free and vegan with its synthetic hair brushes, and if you’re searching for good quality, ethically produced beauty tools, then Lily England’s brushes are your answer.
The Marble Luxe Makeup Brush Set & Bag comprises of nine brushes: Crease, Angled, Smudger, Pencil Eye, Eyeshadow Packer, Sculpt & Glow, Kabuki Foundation and Large Powder. Not only are these super-soft and great quality, they also have sturdy and stylish rose gold mouldings around the bristles. This brush set comes in a waterproof black marble pouch, making it an elegant and stylish (not to mention insta-friendly) ‘must-have’. Let’s talk about three of our favourite brushes, beginning with the Kabuki Foundation Brush, a foundation brush that is great to use whether it’s with a liquid, or mineral powder. We found that brush strokes magically vanished, it was deliciously soft on the skin and best of all none of the hairs shed on our face! We also enjoyed using the Eyeshadow Packer with our Eloise Queen Eye Shadow Palette (see here for our recent feature). This brush quickly picks up the colour pigment and then reapplies it evenly, which makes it super-easy to blend. Last but not least in our top three, is the Large Powder Brush because it’s an essential finishing step for lightly dusting our loose powder to set makeup.
There’s so much you can do with this Marble Luxe Makeup Brush Set, whether it’s a natural glow or a stronger night-out look, there’s no limit to what you can create. As mentioned earlier, the set comes with its handy pouch so you can keep the collection in your handbag or pack it away for your travels. We think that this set makes the perfect gift or just an update for your makeup brushes.
