Etude House is a Korean brand that was established in 1985 and they’ve been in Malaysia for quite a while now. I’ve reviewed a product from the brand in the past, which was the Play 101 Pencil (review link here) and I have also written about their hand creams (link here).
This is a review on the My Beauty Tool (which is a line of makeup brushes and sponges I believe), Face Brush 130 Contour.
Packaging.
Description on the back, mostly in Korean.
The tiny little English bit.
The brush. I want to bring to your attention the beautiful ferrule (visit Makeup Lingo Dictionary to see what this means; link here).
Bristles up close.
Very soft and very loosely packed.
Description:
Makeup brush intended for applying and blending out contour.
Bristles: Horse hair (information retrieved from the Etude House website). Long very loosely packed bristles.
Ferrule: Aluminum and very beautifully finished!
Handle: Wood with a light pink glossy finish.
Price: MYR 51 (price may have increased).
Where to buy: Etude House counters nationwide.
Pros:
Extremely soft.
Hasn’t shed since I’ve bought and used it (has been over a year and a half); that’s saying a lot considering it’s natural hair bristles!
It is multi-functional (blending eyeshadow, applying highlighter, dusting off powder).
Sturdy ferrule and handle!
Cons:
Extra care is needed when cleaning.
Note: It is natural hair bristles so that may be something to consider.
Rating:
8.9/10
I love this brush and my best use for it is applying highlighter! If you own a similar brush try it!

That’s one beautiful brush! But it looks pretty small to be a contour brush, or is that just me?

I think it’s meant for nose contour as illustrated on the box.

@Beverly, It is a beautiful brush! I was actually kind of confused too but just think about it, Asians have petite features and so I guess the brush kinda works how they would use it. But for me, it is a perfect highlighting brush.. 🙂 Nothing wrong in “multipurposing” it….
@ Charmaine, I am sure that was what it was intended for but I guess there’s plenty room for multipurpose use. For me, I prefer a smaller, shorter and a slightly more densely packed brush (like the MAC 224), for nose contouring as I tend to be very anal and precise about how I do nose contour… 🙂
