I have my eye on the Morphe M536 Under Eye Bullet Brush ($8) at the moment and I’m currently questioning do I need it? I apply my Ben Nye Banana Powder with a small Bobbi Brown Blending Brush that came with one of her concealer kits that was featured on QVC several years ago. It’s like a smaller version of MAC’s 224 and it works perfectly. So, what led to my sudden interest in a larger brush? I keep seeing youTubers using larger brushes to set their concealer and it seems like the powder sheers out so much more naturally with a larger brush.

The M536 isn’t huge but it is larger than what I currently use. It has a rounded head and seems like it would fit under my eye area nicely to gently sweep powder on.

Anyone use this? I think I’m going to grab it! I mean for $8 I can’t really go wrong right? If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out.

Hmmm!

What sort of setting brush do you use for your concealer?

The Urban Decay Naked Cherry Collection arrives today at ulta.com and sephora.com! Are you indulging? The collection doesn’t only feature the Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette but also, several cherry lipstick shades, eyeliner, a cherry-scented All Nighter Spray, and Highlighter & Blush Palette.

I’m pretty excited about this launch as I really like these shades but I will say I am every so slightly disappointed the colors aren’t really cherry red. Urban Decay went with more cranberry, wine, and rose shades.

Let’s take a look!

Makeup Revolution Fast Base Concealer ($8) is a new brightening concealer that promises to conceal darker circles. I’m sure you’ve watched endless youTube videos with your fav guru that applied layers and layers of a too light shade of concealer under their eyes to produce a highlighted effect. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer actually produces this effect. They intentionally made the shades a bit paler which makes them ideal for contouring and highlighting the under eye area.

As a fan of Makeup Revolution’s Conceal & Define Full Coverage Conceal & Contour Concealer I decided I definitely needed to check out Fast Base Concealer as well but I was concerned about the shades. From my experience with Conceal & Define Full Coverage Conceal & Contour the colors really run quite light, again, intentionally to contour the under eye area and highlight it. This however, made it challenging finding a shade that worked for me. This fear extends to Fast Base Concealer as the shades all run really light. I ended up going with C9 which is for light medium skin tones with peach undertones. Not quite my shade of choice but the next shade up seemed to dark and the shade down seemed to light. I was right, the shade was all wrong. I’d go so far as to call it fair with a cooler peach undertone.

None the less, I’d still like to share some thoughts with you about it.
