Urban Decay, Naked Flushed Brush Review

12/2/2015

I thought I would share with you one of my new Makeup Brush's today.
Take a peak -

 Urban Decay Double Ended brush from the Naked Flushed Line.
Picture
What they say about this -
Our ultimate accoutrement for the Naked Basics palettes, this versatile brush is really two brushes in one! On one side: a shadow smudger brush. On the other: a shadow blender brush. Apply shadow all over. Blend, smudge and line. This indispensable brush does it all. 

The white-tipped bristles make it easy to see how much colour you’re picking up. (No more accidentally putting too much product on and having to remove it.)

Cost - £23.00
Available from Debenhams.com

As many of you may already have guessed, Urban Decay have become one of my most loved Brands and because I was getting those amazing brush's in the Naked Palettes and was rather impressed by them, this was one of the treats that had to be bought.

This amazing brush is for Contouring , sculpting and blush and in my opinion is a very handy brush to own.
The brush fibres are cruelty-free,vegan and made with a super soft synthetic derived from recycled materials but don't let yourself think that because the word recycled is in there that this is going to be a harsh brush with bristles that fall out .
This brush is so amazingly soft and the bristles of the brush are tightly secured int he sleek steel handle.

I cant believe how amazing this brush is , well ok, I can as I am falling more in love Urban Decay each time I get something new.

Even down to the packaging, its impressive, to e the packaging is a fantastic case for the brush if your anything like me and like to keep the boxes lol, I love how its sturdy enough to use after opening.

The shape of the brush makes it perfect for blending and with the ends being slightly smaller than average it makes it easier to get into places like the sides of the nose to contour and to give more defined sculpting to the face.

This is the fluffy angled brush which can be used with blush or bronzer and when they say it is fluffy, it is most certainly one of those brush's you just want to brush across the surface of your face.
Picture
The other end is perfect for using as a highlighting brush especially for the top of the cheekbones , forehead and top of the lip area as it is sleek enough to lightly apply where ever needed.

I am very impressed by my first (non free from a naked palette) brush and I am now looking to treat myself to some more.

Do you like to use brush ,finger or sponge to apply your makeup?

Sounds great! I tend to use my fingers to apply my makeup - no particular reason for it, it's just what I've been doing for years! x

I've been swooning over this wasn't sure if I should buy it or not! NOT JEALOUS AT ALL =P
I usually switch between a real techniques and a sponge.
Thanks for sharing hun

I love the look of the Urban Decay eye palettes. They always seem to have a great range of colours. The brush looks good but a little pricey for me.

Ooooh I do love a good double ended brush! (although a pain to store upright) and one of my current faves is the one that came with the naked 3 palette, so will go take a look at this next time i'm in town

I use my fingers and brushes to apply my make up but I am not very good at it. I guess I would be worried about spending that much on a brush - do you think it is worth it?

I have to admit i have it for the novelty of owning the Urband Decay brush as im collecting them mostly but the contouring side of this is fantastic

Being a bit of a non-make-up wearer (understatement!) it never would have occurred to me that a brush could cost so much. When I do wear the little make-up I use, I use my fingers.

i think your right in the sense it is not worth the money when you wear so little , i wouldnt pay this much if it wasnt for me wearing and experimenting with makeups so much i dont think

I had Urban Decay brushes recommended to me a while ago, although I confess I still haven't bought one. Double ended seems better value though, no? :-)

I've recently tried out a makeup sponge to apply make up and found it worked well and created a smooth finish in contrast to my makeup brushes. I think I need some practice as with makeup brushes I tend to get streaks from the brushes' hair which makes it look stripy and weird. Thanks so much for sharing your honest thoughts on this one from urban Decay xx

I always use a brush to apply my makeup. I feel like it gives a much better and even finish than a beauty blender, however I do occasionally go over my contour and blush with a sponge after I've used a brush, just to make sure its all blended well.
This brush looks really nice and i'm very tempted to try it!
great post. x
