Spectrum Brushes

So the other day I was looking into a new set of brushes that I could start investing in for my kit. I wanted something feminine but still with the qualities that any practicing or future Makeup artist would have to carry within their kit.

I discovered the company Spectrum seeing a post they were tagged in on another page that was using their brushes within a brush belt (it looked amazing). Wow these brushes are gorgeous in the collection I found the look of the brush was completely unique. Pink handles with a ombre blue to purple brush. I had to have a few.

Looking on the website I was completely surprise at the prices of the brushes describes as 100% synthetic vegan brushes I was expecting a hefty price tag especially with the design but actually prices for each brush is completely affordable and thats coming from a extremely poor student. The most expensive brush I bought was £9.99 a large fan brush that was much needed, the quality of the brush is even clear from the photo not only in real life once delivered the design of the brush basically means whilst applying you will be left with a soft un-heavy finish, on the websites images the hair on the brush looks slightly crimped this is designed with the idea of more product being collected which is helpful as it saves double dipping. Compared to other brands such as Mac you would be looking at spending a good £30 to get a quality brush; when you can get a good one for a tenner thats striking I know which one I'd now in future always be selecting.

In all I brought 9 brushes most of them were ON SALE. Ridiculously the 9 brushes only cost me £24.99




I brought:

1 Large Fan Brush
2. Artist Brush Set (was like a third of the original price)- this includes five brushes which were...


  • Large Oval Artist Brush
  • Large Angled Artist Brush
  • Small Oval Artist Brush
  • Small Angled Artist Brush
  • Fine Tapered Artist Brush


3. Small Contour Brush
4. Large Domed Brush
5. Eyeliner Brush

When they arrived I got a adorable thank you note which was a nice touch the brushes also came in a plastic pouch which will be perfect for keeping as a lipgloss,eyeliner,lipstick holder within a kit. The quality of the brushes is great extremely soft. After washing them the brushes have stayed soft and none of the lovely colour has faded. The handles are also extremely strong and made from wood which is perfect for busy MUA's who will have them in their hands all day long.

I still can't get over how good I got these prices, even on full price the 9 brushes I bought would set you back £55.95 (yes I've worked it out) which for 9 good quality brushes is hardly anything.

I would highly recommend looking into this up and coming Brush Brand.
