Is ELF a good brand for cosmetics and make up brushes?
Cheap cosmetics are ok for beginners, and if you wanted to do a light everyday look. As it gets pretty expensive to use things like Bare Minerals everyday or Bobbi Brown. As for brushes, it is just a matter of you knowing how to work with them, but I find that more expensive brushes tend to shed less. I purchase Sephora brushed and hardly ever have a problem with them shedding, but believe it or not my Bare Minerals brushes shed more and they cost a little more I think. I always buy gift sets so i am not positive on the cost for them.
If you are a beginner, it’s best to see how you work with different colors and such, but I wouldn’t suggest that you torture your skin with cheap, bad quality makeup and makeup brushes. Yes, the price is intriguing, but you will be regretting it later! Do yourself a favor and go to your local drug store (CVS, Walgreens) and start off with those brushes.
