Brief Review: CERRO QREEN Natural Pony Wool Professional Brush Set Makeup - Yellow (6 Pcs)

In the past few months, I've grown interest in make up. I watch make up tutorial on Youtubes for various make up events and techniques. However, the make up brush set they use are sort 'out-of-range-price-from-my-own-pocket' so I've been checking several sites searching for 'likely-match-my-pocket' set.

Then, I found Natta Cosme (a link from my junior's FB) and check them out. There are several make up brush set for starter namely CERRO QREEN which sold at different varieties of prices and colours to choose from - pink, yellow, blue, purple, black.


I personally chose this one! YELLOW!
For beginner like me, 6 pieces basic brushes at affordable price just like this one is totally OK. This was my first purchased from NattaCosme but they gave good service as they responded to my request pretty quick, my order was processed the next working day and shipped the next day with tracking number. When it first arrived, I opened the box and saw the make up case with the make up brush set inside was nicely packed with bubble wrap. The downfall, just that I don't like Skynet service :/

What I do exactly with each of the brush?
Even though they clearly state each function of the brush, but I do things my way on what I find convenient :D
* Powder Brush - To pat on powder/blusher/bronzer.
* Eye Shadow Brush (Large) - To use it as concealer brush.
* Eye Shadow Brush (Medium) - For eyeshadow on the upper eyelid.
* Blooming Brush - For blending the eyeshadow, to soften the edges.
* Eye Shadow Brush (Small) - To create thin line eyeshadow on the bottom lid, connected the line with the outer part of the eyes and high-lightened the tear duct areas.
* Eyebrow and Eyeliner Brush - Eyelining closer to the upper lashline, and inner rim of the eyes for to create fuller eyelashes effect and to give subtle/soft look. Can be switch as eyebrow brush with eyebrow powder to fill up the sparse to create fuller look.

# I've been experimenting with the brushes, focusing on the eyes to create with just eyeliner look, everyday eye makeup for soft look and smokey eyes makeup look using,


Maybelline Eyecolour Pallet - Diamond Glow by EYESTUDIO in 02 Wine Pink.
(Pretty colours. Actually this is my sister's!)

What I like about this brush set:
1. It's pretty affordable.
2. This basic make up brush set is suitable for everyday make up look/ no make up look/ to reapply your make up.
3. Soft bristles as all of the brushes are made from pony hair except eyebrow & eyeliner brush due to its specific function.
- The pony hair brushes can pick up the pigment/powder very well.
- It also gives you less irritation on the skin.
4. Easy to handle brush as its made from wood. So as you hold it, it provides you better manipulation of the brush (to use it in upward motion/ downward motion/ circular motion for flawless finish).
5. Nice make up case. The make up case comes with strap which is very handy to ensure the brushes stored properly, its light weight and easy to carry around in your handbags etc.
Overall, it's a good-quality brushes! If you are new to makeup and want to give it a try, you can check different set of makeup brush and colours sold at NATTA COSME.

I've been using this for almost 2 months now and still loving it! :D

You bought it!

Hey youuuuu,,,it's been very long time since we had a conversation right? Hope you still remember me,,,

I also kinda addicted in watching beauty tutorial on youtube and end up buying bunch of make up kit though I rarely use it XD. And yellow brushes,,,me want!!! shame I already have my brushes set.

Did you manage to do a proper eye makeup? Until now, I'm still struggle on how to apply proper eyeshadow without looking like somebody beat you up...;p

Let me know if you have time to chat and catch up ok?

What are you saying? Of course I still remember you! :D
Is just that, I'm not on chat for a long time but I try to update daily on Twitter but if you have something personal to talk to me, just let me know :)

My interest in beauty grows when my laptop died for 2 months, I guess. I can't DL or watch Arashi so I can only browse things on Youtube. I didn't know what to watch but I like beauty stuff even though I rarely buy, so.. yeah. There are so many awesome makeup tutorials for every event! I'm not sure to say myself if I could do proper eye makeup but I think it turns out OK, I guess if it's on upper eyelid :P For lower lash line, it can be a bit tricky if using dark colours. Like you said, it can make you look like someone beat you up XDDD
