My Favourite Brushes

Ulmiel from Did someone say nail polish?  requested me to do a post on brushes. I don't own loads of brushes, but these brushes are the ones I like to use the most.

Ulmiel iz Did someone say nail polish? me je prosila, da napi�em objavo o copicih. Nimam neke velike zbirke copicev,, ampak ti copici so samo tisti, ki jih najvec in najraje uporabljam. 

Eyeshadow brushes:

• MAC 239 - I know this brush is included in almost every favourites and essential brushes posts, but yes it is that good. It's perfect for packing colour on the lid and under the bottom lash line just with the tip. If I'm really lazy, I even use it for blending. / Vem je bilo o tem copicu napisano �e ogromno, ampak je res tako dober. Odlicen je za nana�anje sencila na veko in pod spodnje trepalnice (ce nana�a� sencilo s konico copica). Ce se mi da vzeti 217 ali Round Crease copica, ga uporabim tudi za neko osnovno blendanje.
• Mac 217 - The perfect eye shadow brush. It applies and blends the eyeshadow. However, it's a bit big for applying eyeshadow in my socket/crease (I don't even have much of a socket, since my eyes are hooded). I got mine on eBay./Perfekten copic, super za nana�anje in blendanje sencila, ampak je malo prevelik za nanos sencila v gubo. V Sloveniji se ga ne da kupiti, priporocam izlet v Gradec/Benetke ali pa nakup prek eBaya (ampak pazljivo, ponaredkov kar mrgoli).
• Coastal Scents Round Crease - It's not really produced by CS. I believe these are massively produced in China and can be bought on eBay. It's a really good brush for applying the eyeshadow in the socket/crease, or highlight in the inner corner. I even use it to apply eyeshadow all over the lid and it's a good blending brush./ Zelo dober copic za nana�anje sencila v crease (gubo), ker je majhen in dovolj natancen. Primeren je tudi za nanos sencila v koticke ocesa in blendanje. Jaz ga uporabljam tudi za nanos sencila po celi veki. Ti copici so proizvedeni na Kitajskem in stanejo drobi�,  jaz sem jih kupila od Coastal Scents, ceprav tega trenutno ne najdem na njihovi spletni strani, sem ga pa na�la na Carodejki (klik).
• Coastal Scents Lange Chisel Fluff - A decent eye shadow brush. It's a bit bigger than 239 and softer (which kind of annoys me). Good for applying the eye shadow and even for some basic blending./ �e kar dober copic. Je malenkost vecji od 239 in mehkej�i (mene to osebno moti), dober za nanos sencila po celi veki in za osnovno blendanje. Sama se ga kupila od Coastal Scents, isti copic se dobi �e marsikje drugje, sigurno na eBayu (vcasih je bil celo na Carodejki).
• Ecotools Bamboo Eye Shading Brush - I't not that good for packing the eye shadow on the lid, it's simply too big. I use it for blending and applying a base colour all over. I even use this brush for contouring under the cheekbone (just to get the colour on. Then I blend it with a bigger brush). / Ni najbolj primeren za nana�anje sencila na veko (razen za neko osnovno nevtralno barvo) ker je prevelik, je pa super za blendanje. Jaz ga uporabljam tudi za sencenje pod licnico, pac da nanesem bronzer in potem z vecjim copicem zblendam. Ecotools se dobijo v vecjih Tu�ih, (Inter)Sparih in Leclercu.

• Alverde Gel eyeliner brush - Fantastic brush. Very small,  precise and just perfect for applying gel eyeliner. And it's so cheap, just under 2�./ Odlicen copic, majhen in natancen, perfekten za nana�anje gel eyelinerja. Ne vem ali je pri nas �e vedno samo omejena kolekcija, ker v Nemciji je v stalnem sortimentu. Je pa zelo poceni, nekaj manj kot 2�.
• Ecotools Bamboo angled eyeliner brush - For me it's a bit too big for applying gel eyeliner, however, it's great for applying a dark eyeshadow on the top lash line (even on the waterline, but it's almost a bit too big) and I suppose it works well as a brow brush./ Zame je malo prevelik za na�anje gel eyelinerja, je pa super za nanos temnej�ega sencila ob zgornje trepalnice in predvidevam, da je dober tudi za obrvi (sama se ne ukvarjam, kar pretirano z obrvmi). Ga pa prodajajo v Sloveniji.
• Coastal Scents Angle liner brush - I find it difficult to apply gel eyeliner with this brush, but some like it. I rather use it to apply a dark eye shadow on the top lash line and waterline . It works perfectly for that. If you want your waterline really black, use a black eye shadow in the waterline. It stays longer than a regular eyeliner too. / Meni je te�ko nanesti gel eyeliner s tem copicem, nekaterim pa ta ustreza. Uporabljam ga za nanos temnej�ega sencila ob zgornje trepalnice in v waterline. Za  v waterline je super, ker je majhen. Ce �elite res temen liner okrog oci, nanesite crno sencilo v waterline, saj zdr�i dalje kot navaden eyeliner.

Face brushes:

• Ecotools Bamboo Bronzer Brush - A brilliant brush, it's so soft and dense. I use it for powder and bronzer. It's a bit big for blush application, but it still works well if you don't have anything smaller. It's perfect for applying mineral foundation too. Oh, and it doesn't shed./ Odlicen copic. Je izjemno mehek ima zelo goste �cetine, dlake mu ne odpadajo, skratka super. Uporabljam ga za nanos pudra v kamnu in bronzerja, super je tudi za mineralni puder. Za blush je malenkost prevelik, vseeno ga nanese cisto ok, ce �e nima� nicesar manj�ega.
• Bobbi Brown blush brush - I have the travel size. It a good blush brush, dense and it doesn't shed./ Moj je potovalne velikosti. Je dober copic za nanos blusha, vseeno bom morda kupila drugega.
• E.l.f. Powder brush - This brush is really soft and dense, it doesn't shed and it's perfect for applying powder, mineral foundation and applying liquid foundation. / Zelo mehek, gost copic, ne izgublja dlak in je super za nanos pudra v kamnu, mineralnega pudra in celo tekocega pudra.

Copici na voljo v Sloveniji

Kar se tice izbire copicev v Sloveniji je bolj uboga. Po mojem mnenju najbolj�i (kombinacija kvalitete in cene) copici na na�em tr�i�cu so Ecotools. Na voljo so v vecjih Tu�ih, (Inter)sparih in Leclercu. Najbolj priporocam Bronzer brush, dobra sta tudi angled eyeliner brush in eye shading brush. Na voljo je �e copic za blush, powder brush in majhen copic za tekoci puder, ki jih sicer nimam, so pa precej pohvaljeni. Ce vam ga uspe najti je Alverdejev copic za gel eyeliner fantasticen. Spodoben copic za nanos sencila na veko je M�llerjev Body & Soul copic za sencila, meni je malenkost premehek in ima premalo �cetin ampak ce nimate dostopa do nicesar drugega je v redu. Se pa v spletnih trgovinah (tudi slovenskih) najde kar nekaj copicev, vendar z njimi nimam izku�enj.
