Duo Fibre brushes have been designed to create a buildable
colour and add texture for a lightweight application and blending of face
powder or pigments creating flawless, airbrushed make-up looks with cream,
liquid or powder products. All Duo Fibre
brushes are made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres. I call these
type of brushes in my brush kit ‘A Magic Wand’ because there are just so many
ways to use them!
Duo Fibres are amazing for liquid foundation, powder, blush
and bronzer application. So hopefully today’s blog post will help you know how to use your Crownbrush duo fibres correctly.
Face Powder- C406 £9.29
Perfect for loose or mineral powders giving more of a
natural and less mask-like look when setting foundation, as the synthetic bristles
picks up less powder than a denser brush does.
Liquid Foundation- C404 £7.69
The C404 Duo fibre is perfect for reaching the crevices of
the face like the sides of your nose, ears, forehead, around the mouth and
under the eyes. It basically applies liquid foundation in a precise application
with less streaking when stippling. But being small also attributes to more
time taken to apply a whole face. Otherwise, if you have time to spare, be
prepared for a lovely airbrushed complexion.
Bronzer- C442 £10.49
Bronzer is used to bring colour back to a face washed out
with foundation. You want to apply enough without looking too dark. So you have
a natural bronzed look. The C442 is perfect for applying bronzer because the
end of the bristles are very light so you have a lot more control with the
brush over how much bronzer to apply.
Blush- C436 £7.49
The larger C404 brush can also be used to apply blush too, but
this is my own preference I love to use the C436 to apply liquid/cream blusher stippled
into the cheeks then softly blended out with the C404. The c404 size allows me to apply it exactly
where I want it and not have blush applied on too large an area. Using Duo
fibre brushes also allow you to create a buildable intensity to your blush. If
you like to use Powder blush too I suggest using the C427 Tapered Duo Fibre
Blush Brush
Another use … Highlighting!
Using the C404 I always highlight the top of my cheeks and
middle of the nose, by swirling the C404 brush in the highlighting powder and
it picks up just the tiniest amount of powder, giving that natural glow to the
skin instantly. This works with cream and powder highlighters too.

ReplyDeletei would really love to win these brushes as i am a make up artist and alot of my brushes are crown brush because they are good quality for a good price and love using ur brushes when im doing clients make up or just doing a make up look for my facebook page ur brushes come in so many varieties and i love that they range from very cheap for people who haven't got a big budget which is great for everyone i have a duo fiber brush from ur collection which i love for under eye highlight this is an amazing company and i would love to win these brushes for my kit

I'd love to win these because A) I never win anything and B) I can't afford to buy a decent set of brushes and only have a couple of face brushes right now, and none like those!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to teach myself as much as I can about make-up using the internet as I'm unable to study properly as I can't afford the courses and I have disabilities that make it hard to get to a college. To learn properly, I need the best brushes I can get, and there's only so much I can convince friends and family to buy me for birthdays and Christmases!!
*crosses fingers*
I live live in Puerto Rico and, i dont want, i need this brushes because i cant buy them, im just in love with them, i identify myself with the, im completely obssesed with them. Thats why i need them.
ReplyDeleteI love to win these brushes because they are essentials and help me to apply make_up quickly and effortless to give a flawless natural look. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get my tumblr, youtube, instagram and blogspot pages dedicated to my make-up which I mess about with and create some fun looks... everyone can check out my instagram if they want (laaauralw) i dont have THAT many pictures of my makeup on it yet because Ipod cameras arent really great quality for taking photos and i dont have time to mess about with my camera as im busy at work and college. I want to be part of the make-up community... it's such a beautiful art :) And these brushes would really help me in doing so. I only have one duo fibre stippling brush and it gives such a beautiful, buildable coverage... it gives the foundation a cleaner application, i feel foundation brushes and sponges make foundation a little streaky/cake-y for my liking hence why I would repurchase stippling brushes. My main inspirations for getting into make-up(on youtube) were gossmakeupartist, pixiwoo's Nic and Sam, Sharzad Kiadeh and for the more alternative FX kind of looks i love Petrilude and dope2111 just to mention my main favourites. I actually have been meaning to save up and try out sam's brushes she made with real techniques. Make-up has also given me such a confidence boost I'm very appreciative of any new products that extend this confidence even more, so winning these brushes would give me good grounds to start a review on one of my pages and try to get set up and started in the makeup world online!:) - Laura x
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a set of these brushes. As a little girl it was my dream to be a makeup artist. I was inspired on watching my aunts do there makeup. So I began teaching myself, I watched youtube videos and seen pitcures. Im just starting off at beauty school so i would love to have a set of your brushes in my kit. And with my Birthday this Saturday wow it would the best present. Hopefully i get picked. Oh man i want these so bad.
ReplyDeleteDue to having lots of health problems over the last few years, my mum has not felt very 'womanly'. I would love to win these brushes to give to her as a gift to help give her the glow she had before she got ill.
ReplyDeleteI would love these brushes. I never have much money, but i always seem to shop with you, online and at IMATS. This could further my career and would be simply amazing
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these! I'm starting a course in Make up and FX in september and these would be perfect in my kit! Regardless if I don't win, it's really cool of you guys to give such an amazing prize away!

These brushes would really make my makeup kit look super professional! I would love to be able to use them on all sorts of makeup jobs. And since I'm starting out and I only have very few makeup jobs - and unpaind ones - this would really be a huge help to kick start my career! :)
ReplyDeleteHey there! Here is speaking Betty the baby brush. I'm an orphan and would love to have a family. I spend my early years in a dusty drawer lying around and being useless. I didn't even had someone to talk! :-(
ReplyDeleteWith these amazing Crownbrushes I could finally have someone in my live and make my first big step into the make up world.
Hopefully you can understand my situation.
With fluffy regards
Betty the baby brush
I think these brushes are beauts!!! - I always neglect my face I have one or two brushes for my face. I have alot of eye brushes to create different looks but never seem to have enough for the face.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these so I can use them in my make-up kit but also to practice on myself with.
Good luck all thanks Karla and Crown brush!!! Xx
There's something special when you're applying make up with brushes. It's not only the flawless finish or different effects you can achieve with brushes. It's the way brushes make the process so much more interesting and playing with brushes and make up always reminds me that my face and body are a work of art in their own way and make up is an expression of how I feel or who I am on a given day.
ReplyDeleteAs a student training as a makeup artist I'm on a tight budget for my makeup kit! These brushes are such good quality and also very versatile as they can be used for both powder and cream products and would be perfect for my professional kit! Which is why I would love to win them!
ReplyDeletehttp://confessionsofamakeupnerd.blogspot.co.uk/
Oh my crownbrush,
ReplyDeletehow you have made my heart rush
to tease as with a set so divine
I dream of them as mine.
I use finger tips and rubbing
As my method of applying
foundation, blusher and concealer
when I should be using something cleaner.
it is true I am no professional
but doesn't every girl wanna look sensational?
To be a makeup artist you need to be Fierce and to be Fierce you need a set of Fierce and Powerful brushes! These brushes are Fierce and Powerful! I look up to and admire the Fierce makeup artists of today using Crown Brush! I will be Fierce!! !
ReplyDeleteI am in dire need of some good quality makeup brushes! I was so happy to see this competition as I am currently studying at University for a Bachelor of Nursing... and as everyone knows, when you're a Uni student, you really don't have the most amount of money to spend. I've always had a passion for makeup and have been looking into broadening my collection to start a makeup channel on Youtube.. but realistically I shouldn't really be spending a load of money on makeup and brushes when I have fees due! :( This would help so much by adding to my collection of my nearly non existent makeup brushes and getting me started on helping others on youtube!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win these brushes as I am an aspiring make-up artist, and it would be lovely to expand my brush collection with some great tools

Hi there! I would to win these brushes simply cos I ve never try nothing of this brand and seeing it on FB they looks very gorgeous! I wish to be a Mua one day, these brush could help me ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have not experienced the airbrush finish with my stippling brush, it's just not OK. Maybe it's its quality (it's ELF studio)..have no idea.. Maybe Crownbruh is much better at this job!

ReplyDeleteAlthough I've always loved playing with my own make up and eye make up on others I've always felt I was capable of better but I could never get it to translate on skin I was always so disappointed in myself.I invested time and money on make up brands/variations and was never proud of my work so I spat my dummy out and gave up. I never realised the importance of good tools till a few years in, I just used whatever came with the makeup or standard brushes I even had some from my college days! but was so terrified of paying a lot of money and being ripped off so I threw in the towel and focused on my beauty salon(minus make up).
ReplyDeleteI purchase things based on reviews and opinions of respected people in the corresponding field and I have been in total awe and amazement at Karla Powell's creations, so much so its made me want to try again, I've been reading make up blogs, watching vids, researching hints/tips/products/advice but the one thing that still scares me is tools where to start?!
however I am determined to grow up and reignite my love for make up. so the 1st thing I've done is reluctantly agreed to my best friend that I will do her wedding (and bridal party) make up. After her 3rd tragic trial and many tears and begging I agreed I would give it ago. Her words - "I know you will still make me look like me, I don't want to be a clown please" how could I say no. But now I'm scared, I know bridal make up is not the most exciting make up out there but it will be one of the most important things I've ever done for a friend where my 8 years of beauty experience is concerned she will have those pictures forever!
I really want to do the best I can by my friend and also give myself a boost where make up is concerned and start a portfolio off on the right foot. I now have a hairdresser in the salon that does wedding packages and if I could get my confidence up I could team up with her in this.
I feel if I won these brushes and have no more excuses and a kit of great tools that can grow with me.
I've been using make-up brushes for years and I always look after them and wash them etc., but I've never tried the Duo fibre brushes. As you rightly pointed out, people are not sure how to use them, and neither was I until I read your blog. I would love the chance to try them out. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm a massive base fiend and absolutely love all things that apply face products! Would love to try Crown Brush's version of these, as many alternatives in the market are much more expensive and not as varied in styles as these, and it would be a fantastic to share with my readers alternatives to the expensive versions out there!
ReplyDeleteHi Karla!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to start by saying how much of a fan I am of your work! I follow you on Instagram and I am always blown away by the looks you create!
I would love to win these duo fibre brushes as I am getting married this summer and as i cant afford a makeup artist I'm going to be doing my own makeup. I want to look and feel amazing on my big day and I think these brushes could help me do that! I want a very natural look but with flawless foundation and these brushes sound like they are perfect for that. Hopefully if I'm lucky enough to win them i'll tag you in my wedding photos to show you the results!
Mi piacerebbe vincere perché ho sentito tante cose su questi pennelli! Mi piacerebbe molto provare a giocare per me stesso

ReplyDeleteI live for makeup, kinda sad but however :P I'm saving to order a few brushes from different brands I'm dying to try- crown being one of the many brands. I've heard so many great things about these brushes and I get so jealous when people put up pictures of their new brushes.

Mi piacerebbe moltissimo poter vincere questi prodotti, perchè questo tipo di pennello manca al mio set...Inoltre essendo una ragazza che vive la sua vita come Tester, io sperimento qualsiasi prodotto e racconto la mia esperienza sul mio canale youtube! I pennelli Crowbrush non li conosco ancora, per questo motivo partecipare a questa iniziativa e poterli vincere sarebbe l'occasione perfetta per unire l'utile al dilettevole!
ReplyDeleteSpero vivamente di essere fortunata!
I'm currently working 14-16hour days in a secure mental health facility with women with complex mental health needs while I'm building my skills as a MUA and building my kit. While it is a rewarding and I love it, it is mentally and physically exhausting and Makeup is my first love and passion and I've finally decided to follow my dream (nearly 16 years later!!) of becoming a MUA winning this would make my year but also be a sign that I'm making the right choice!! :)
ReplyDeleteWho needs diamonds when you could have these fabulous beauties in your life..? I have far too many brushes and makeup...said no Makeup Artist ever. Dup fibre brushes have quickly become the must haves for that airbrushed look we all lust after and these would quickly find a nice snuggly home in my pot.
ReplyDeleteOh Duo Fibre brushes
Looking at you gives me flushes
Another fabulous invention by Crown
Guaranteed to never let you down,
So soft, well how do I know?
Cause I gave them a feel at the IMATS show!
Oh Duo Fibre brushes, the fab new trend,
Forget diamonds, you can be my best friend...
Good luck to all the beautiful people that entered, we are ALL worthy winners. :-)
Karla, the highlight of IMATS was definitely meeting you, so much more beautiful in real life and so down to earth. :-)

Every time I do make up for a client or model I talk about Crown brush, the products and the web page and Facebook. I will talk about companies that I believe untill people tell me to stop lol. Karla Powell is an inspiration to me and I am thank full to her for introducing Crown brush into my makeup life. If I win I will do a photo shoot using only crown brush products and splash it all over my MUA page. I love you guys thank you :) Keep inspiring and motivating us all your ace :) Dee
