It Brushes for Ulta Review: Your Beautiful Basics Airbrush Set

Howdy all,

I was so excited when I saw that It Cosmetics was releasing a line of brushes for Ulta. Before this, I had two brushes, one that came in a set and one I purchased on its own. On every visit to Ulta, I love touching the It Cosmetics brushes, they are just so soft and gorgeous.

It Brushes for Ulta come in three different collections but they can be a bit pricy so I started out with a set: Your Beautiful Basics Airbrush 101 5 pc Getting Started Set 

The set is $58.00 at ulta.com and comes with:
-Airbrush Powder Brush
-Airbrush Foundation Brush
-Airbrush Concealer Brush
-Airbrush Shadow Brush
-Airbrush Crease Brush

The goods: 



You might notice that I actually got 2 shadow brushes and no crease brush. I would return it but I actually love the shadow brush so I'm going to keep it and maybe purchase a crease brush separately. 

The Review: 


I actually love these brushes. My two favorites are the shadow brush (of course) and the powder brush. You will notice that the powder brush looks like a bunny's tail :) and I have found it to be the perfect size for setting my under eyes and for placing setting powder all over my face. It is super soft and I've noticed helps prevent the cakey look that can happen. 

My second favorite brush is the shadow brush, which is perfect for outer corner shadow placement and for crease work. I really love it for both of these things, which is why I actually prefer having two of them. 

The foundation brush is good. I've used it with both liquid and powder foundations and it works great. I do wish that it were bigger and not as soft... yes I know this is weird. 

The concealer brush is really great as well, I usually use my Tarte concealer brush but this one is just as great at blending concealer in and making it look beautiful :) 

So over all, I think this is a great set! It is pricy but for me worth it because I have been using these brushes non stop for two weeks. One downside is the handle, the handle is not as expensive and luxurious as the handles on other It Cosmetic brushes. I have notices that this is the case with the It Brushes for Ulta sets. On the other hand you are not paying as much as you would if you bought them individually.  Finally, I want to add that these brushes as not indispensable but if you have the money they are worth it.

Parting Thoughts: 
-I bought a couple more brushes one from the Velvet Luxe line and one from the Live Beauty Fully Inspired Collection. Reviews to follow :) 
-Have you purchased any of the brushes? What do you think? 
-I hope everyone is having a great week!
