Tweezerman Brush iQ | Finishing Contour Brush & Line Glider Brush + a giveaway

Tweezerman® has just launched brush iQ, a makeup brush range that consists of 12 makeup brushes for face and eyes. Crafted with Natrafil® filaments, a patented technology from DuPont™, these synthetic hairs have been created to feel like – but perform better than – natural hair, along with being much more hygienic overall. According to the company, these brushes have been:

“verified by makeup artists to deliver unmatched performance, better pick up and release, and more uniform application”

The brushes all come with black glossy handles, and have their name/function embossed on one side – although with experimentation (and through personal experience), I’ve learned that some brushes can do double duty in other areas of the face, than what they were created for.

I was sent the Finishing Contour Brush along with the Line Glider™ Brush for review – and one lucky reader will also have the opportunity to win these 2 brushes as well! Entry form found at the end of the post.

Good Luck!

Tweezerman brush iQ | Finishing Contour Brush & Line Glider™ Brush

Finishing Contour Brush CAN $60.00 | For subtle contouring & layering effects. This dual-fiber brush measures 6 3/4″ from the end to its tallest point, while the head measures 1 1/2″ at its widest point. The hairs feel incredibly soft and are denser near the ferrule (where the brush hairs meet the handle) while the white tips splay slightly to help give a diffused effect in application.

With its generously sized angled head (which happens to be too large for fine and/or detailed work), I prefer using this brush for light sculpting/contouring, although I’ve found it works equally well for bronzer application. The feel of the fibres is actually quite velvety and glides effortlessly along the skin, with excellent blending capability, as well as being suitable for both cream and powder products.

Line Glider™ Brush CAN $24.00 | Made to ‘create a perfect line for eyes’, this brush measures 6 1/4″ from end to tip. The angled head works well in a lining capacity, in particular for a smokey eye look, but the fibres are slightly too dense for creating a fine line. There’s a nice mix of softness and flexibility to the bristles, which make the Line Glider™ Brush excellent for smudging powder shadow into pencil liner to create a defined yet diffused line.

As someone who is quite fanatical about my makeup brushes, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the new Tweezerman® brush iQ brushes. The Finishing Contouring Brush is easy to use and feels lovely along the skin – never scratchy or stiff. The Line Glider™ Brush works well in its capacity as a liner and while too thick for fine work, it works beautifully as a ‘precision smudger’ (I may have just created a whole new category here). Of the two, I would have to say that the Finishing Contouring Brush is comparable in quality and application to some luxury brand brushes I have, and while not cheap at CAN $60.00, it’s still priced within reach. The Line Glider™ Brush is a versatile addition to anyone’s eye brush collection – plus it’s attractively priced, making it well worth looking into.
