NEW Pink Patent Brush Belt & Pro Clear Shoulder Bag with Tissue Holder GIVEAWAY

I has these amazing NEW products land on my desk last week! Anything NEW and useful for my make-up kit always excites me, especially knowing that our Crownbrush fans will love these products too, so revealing them today is so exciting and to top it all off we are doing a GIVEAWAY to win both NEW products!

A8 Pink Patent Leather Apron

The Crownbrush baby pink professional makeup brush belt is  designed for easy storage and organisation of all your Crown brushes and contains a variety of pocket sizes that can hold up to 50+ brushes!  This can also be converted into a brush roll to protect brushes between uses. It features an adjustable strap. Made of synthetic material stretching to 44 inches around your waist. 

For a professional makeup artist it is extremely important to show up to a makeup job of any kind with a clean makeup kit.  This would include your makeup case, product containers, makeup palettes, and your makeup brushes of course . However, it seems that one popular tool holder like your Makeup Brush Belt, sometimes doesn’t look as clean even after it’s been wiped down. I’ve been on many jobs where I’ve wiped down my belt and it looked aged, just not attractive at all. So the NEW Crownbrush Pink Patent leather apron is a better investment, and will last longer. It is easily cleaned down by making sure you remove all makeup brushes from brush belt, and pouring using your Crownbrush Make-up Brushcleaner!

How to clean your Pink Patent Apron:

*Spray brush belt & wipe off all product from brush belt, and any visible smudges.

*Make sure to get in between all sewed areas, and brush pockets.

To restore shine Precleanse or any cleansing oils work just as great.

The A1 Pink Patent Leather Apron is now online to buy ! £24.99.

The thick strap is adjustable and extends up to 120cm long.

The bag measures 25.5cm x high 35cm long.

Your portable makeup bags and organisers should be trustworthy travel companion so do stay on top of your game by avoiding any mishaps and unpleasant discoveries.

A top tip when receiving your BRAND NEW Pro clear bag is to place it over your radiator (not for too long or too hot) . I find sometimes the PVC is very stuff when new, so this loosens the bag up making it easier to place your make-up kit into the compartments.

On set with brand ambassador Karla Powell & Crownbrush

Last month I worked on a make-up job for a NEW upcoming scarf designer Choulachou based in London where they collaborate with talented illustrators who design their unique and imaginative prints. Choulachou collections mix fashion and art into unique accessories that expresses individuality.I was hired to create the make-up looks for their new Spring Summer Look Book where I had the chance to use some of my favourite Crown brushes. 

For Choulachou Look book I wanted to keep the makeup girly and fun for each design to keep the continuity of the look throughout. The scarves are carefully crafted combining great style and quality to become the perfect expression of anyone’s personality so I wanted to keep the make-up simple where the scarves and the models personality had the chance to shine through.

Close up behind the scenes images of the make-up:

“Be fun, be creative, be quirky, be funky, be daring, be stubborn, BE YOURSELF!” Choulachou.

The Syntho brushes are 100% vegan synthetic bristles with a matte black wood handles that do not absorb any oils or products, they are completely hypoallergenic compared to natural hair brushes. 

SS018 Pointed Syntho Kabuki- £15.99

A Densely pointed tip Syntho Kabuki is ideal when paired with cream and liquid based products. Smoothly covers large surface areas while achieving detailed results when applied in a circular motion- great for working around the nose and under the eyes. 

SS023 Large Syntho Fan Brush-£13.99

This brush is super soft and so delicate. A fan shaped brush which is perfect for lightly sweeping over set makeup, picking up excess powder or fallout which always leaves the make-up perfectly smooth.

With its soft dome shape, this two-toned Syntho fibre brush provides a sheer, more controlled application of powder Eye Shadow which I love using to blend a smoky eye out.

Eyes,Brows,Lips

Face

The 10 piece set includes the following brushes:

C108 Flat Bronzer:

The Flat Bronzer Brush was designed for multiple uses including blending, buffing, and contouring. This brush offers dense, flat,bristles that allow you to easily blend blush, or bronzer to the face and body. I also use this brush to contour cheekbones as well as buff off excess powder.

C106 Unique Pointed Dome:

This is most certainly a Unique brush- it allows me to effortlessly apply pressed or mineral powder, blush, and bronzers onto the skin. The flexible bristles are also ideal for blending, shading, and contouring the face, leaving the face with a perfectly sculpted look.

Angle Blush- C104: 

A small angled Contour blush brush designed for subtle powder cheek application. Use the angle to softly contour the cheekbone.

C707-3/4 - Oval Foundation:

Designed to apply cream and liquid foundation as well as primer for a smooth base application.

Brow/Lash Groomer -C155: 

This is an essential in my make-up kit and is designed for defined, separated lashes and beautiful groomed brows!

Pro Spoolie- C115:

 A spoolie brush is designed for your lashes and brows. The full head tapers to a point for easy use on any length or lash thickness.

C160-1/8 - Angle Liner:

This brush has so many uses in my eyes! It can create precise lining which moves fluid easily across the upper and lower lash lines using gel, cream or powder liners- Also works great with lipstick and getting precise lines on lip application. I also think it’s great to get precise eyebrow application with powder too.

C124 - Firm Shadow

This brush is a versatile tool featuring soft, rounded Sable bristles. This brush allows you to expertly apply shadow from eyelid to brown bone with ease . 

Round Oval Shadow-C135: 

Designed for even application of eye shadow. Place colour across the whole lid for an even and strong application of product.

C113 - Taklon Square:

The must have brush for creating expert lined eyes. The wide, flat bristles lay flush along the lash line for error-proof lining with every application. This brush may also be used for smudging along the lash line and to apply powder, cream, or liquid colour to the eyes or lips.

Round Contour Shadow- C138:  

I call this brush a ‘Pencil’ brush. Perfect for soften and smoke out lines. Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes to make the eyes pop!

C250-0 - Mini Liner:

A very small eye liner brush! In fact the detail I can create with this brush is un-real and so firm. You can get precise application of liner using gel or liquid liners.

C148 - Mini Contour 

This brush is so cute and tiny! It’s ideal tool for precise lining, smudging, and defining. This small brush offers tightly packed bristles that allow you to add colour to the outer corners of the eyes, smudge liner along the lash line, or expertly define brows with ease too.

C170-4 Oval Taklon:

Add the perfect finishing touch to any look with the oval Taklon. The soft, yet firm synthetic bristles are specifically designed to line, contour, and blend with ease. The size of the tapered tip is ideal for reaching smaller areas and smudging liquid and cream based products.
