I haven't tried the lipstick because I am fine with using the pencil and I like it very much (I'm NW20)thanks @montREALady and @ashievicI will definitely do some more investigation or else buy one flat brush and one like mac 316 to blend it all.
btw does anyone with light complexion have whirl? have only seen it on beautiful medium/dark skin girls and it looks sooo pretty on all of them! I think it will be too dark brown for me
thanks
I have the lip pencil too and I think I will do the same as you and just stick to it instead as a "matte lipstick"..
I think the Whirl pencil-only look works out on lighter skinned beauties or beauties with fuller lips... On me the pencil is a nice base to build the lipstick on, but it doesn't give me life like the lipstick... The lipstick is a creamy dream and also adds a bit of fullness which I need especially on the top lipthanks
I bought whirl and it was way too dark and brown for me. Kinda ghastly honestly. Looked awesome on my mom and sister though who are darker skinned. So I gave it to mom...thanks @montREALady and @ashievic
The current MAC lip brushes are crap. The old 311 brush was amazing! The elf $1 concealer brush is great tho. I use it in my kit and it works perfectly for the lips. And you can't beat $1!
thanks @montREALady and @ashievic
Pretty.This is whirl on me, not sure what I am in MAC but I always wear the lightest shade and a lot of times the lightest shade is too dark, this is without liner I like it and didn't feel it was too dark for me.
thanks I will check that out if I can find elf here or online. btw I've seen a lot use the mini shader brush 228 for lipstick application as well!
I love Wayne Goss's 07 brush, especially for matte's. I get much sharper lines with it than any other lip brush I've tried.
I use the Mac lip brush but I think I will try the Tom Ford one based on your recommendation. How much is it?
Very pretty color on you.This is whirl on me, not sure what I am in MAC but I always wear the lightest shade and a lot of times the lightest shade is too dark, this is without liner I like it and didn't feel it was too dark for me.
I have to admit that I love the ELF brushes too, including the concealer brush. It works great on the lips.
46.00, and if you don't live in NY, you can avoid the sales tax if you order from BG. I think pretty much all the large department have gone to the goofy shipping. So it will end up in USPS and it takes like 8 days to get here in Chicago, and it comes out of Dallas. Yes, the same distribution center as NM. Just crazy, how this all works....I hate the new "smart post" crap.
I used to use the 228 too, but the elf concealer brush has a fine chisled edge that the 228 doesn't. Great for getting right to the edge!
it looks great on you!
have to try it later but it's not a top priority right now
The 231 is great as well. That's the same shape as the elf brush. I used to use that as well for lips on clients, but i prefer to use it for applying glitter to the lids. But i like it for lips on me too. The 242 tho? That's just too big! I ises the 212 to clean up around the edges with powder on myself (i don't wear foundation) when i wear bold lips, and use it with foundation on clients. It's genius! For clients tho, i can't justify spending that much on a lip brush that is gonna take a beating. I can buy a fistful for the same price as another brand. That $1 pricetag tho...
I have the 228 in my client kit, let me check that out. I don't really like it for concealer.
haha yes I think 242 is too big as well.. maybe he meant for blending it all together or something. I think I'm going to try a combination of the 231 and the 212 for now
I will not use a lip brush everyday for like only going to the university so that's why I rather have a combo with brushes that I have or going to get that can multi task
