(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[NaomiH]

this is the fan brush I use that I got in a set off ebay (dirty sorrrrrryyy) and this is it compared to one of those little fan brushes I got from bh Cosmetics

I have one almost exactly like that except it has a reddish handle vs your black handle.

Now THAT actually looks like a fan brush worth using! My little Laura Mercier fan brush could maybe be used to tickle a pixie, but even then, it might be inadequate.

"tickle a pixie" hehehe

Oh yeah this is the big daddy of fan brushes

 

[Jaymuhlee]

It depends on the highlighter but the Koyudo BP025 and H013, Real Techniques Setting Powder Brush, Bdellium Tools Fan Brush, and Sonia Kashuk Fan Brush. I'm also planning to purchase two Hakuhodo brushes: J5521 and G5537! The One Perfecting Brush by Becca is also on my radar, especially now that there's a copper one (lol).

I saw that Real Techniques just came out with a fan brush too. Has anyone tried it?

Their brushes (the cheaper line, haven't tried those bold metals) never disappoint me so I'm curious to see if their new fan brush will impress.

I'm tempted by that new LE set! And it comes with a setting brush so a backup would be nice! I think [@]jenise[/@] has it.

I've been eyeing the LE set, too. The setting brush is awesome, and I don't think I've ever gotten a crap brush out of all the RT brushes I have.

Same here! I've only tried their face brushes and the only thing I've been disappointed by was the sponge. It's been said by tons that the quality changed at some point so I just missed the good version.

The only thing the LM fan brush is good for is sweeping fallout off your face.

I also love this fan brush that I bought at Barneys, sorry the brush is dirty.

Ohhhh @jenise !!!! LOL
Please tell us you have the set!

Their brush quality for that price point is so amazing! The bristles are much softer than brushes at comparable price points.

The Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush is also good for applying certain highlighters.

thanks Medgal, should I use a fan brush?

Sorry for the late reply Ernie. A fan brush would be just perfect to use w/Blushed Copper---it would minimize the
amount of product that's picked up.

I love that one too Bos!!!!

When people see your polish do they want to touch them and borrow them

Thanks Glammy! My daughter loves coming over for what she calls M & MT (Mommy & Me Time) and she heads
right to the NP racks. I got the racks on Amazon and mounted them myself. What you see in the photo is four
racks, two top & bottom that I mounted to look like two tall racks.

 

[Medgal07]

wow, this is a great system, I love it!

Thanks Ernie!!!

 

[SandraVB79]

thanks for that! It's so difficult to store polish.

[COLOR=0000FF]   This is the setup that works best for me.  They are 4 individual racks that I mounted in twos, on on top of the other. Each hold sover 100 NPs depending on the size &[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   shape of the bottles.  [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]The racks are completely fullI now and I have an overflow box.  So ridiculous but I can't help myself!!![/COLOR]    

Aren't you afraid that they'll go bad because they are exposed to light?

I do have it and I love it!!! The fan brush is comparable to the one I use from it cosmetics - not too thin and just fluffy enough! I also use the contour brush that'comes with it - it's super soft and blends everything out very well. And I already had the setting brush and j love that to set under eye concealer or to highlight

 

[DILLIGAF]

I use an angled contour/blush brush and dab along the top of my cheek bones and then in a straight line to blend out. I will lightly pull downwards with the tip of the brush to blend in with my blush. Regular fan brushes are to light/flimsy for the way I like my highlight. I also have a Body Shop blush brush that I like to use - it's super soft but still dense and works like a charm. Again, I use the tip to apply and then blend out. Looks like this:




I need to get one of them!!
Ooooh. Do you have the names/numbers for the R&L one and the Morphe one? I want to pick them up at IMATS as well.

The Royal and Langnickle one is from the Silk Pro line and the other one has no name. It's a large thick fluffy fan brush with a dark brown handle.

 

[laurennnxox]

Picked up Pink Rebel lustre drops from one of the recent MAC releases. I dab a tiny bit on my cheekbones, and dust EL ccourreges illuminating face powder over it-- the result is heavenly!!
