I'm just an average girl with a lust for cosmetics, make-up and lipstick
Michael Todd knows applying foundation makeup evenly is the key to a flawless appearance, and using our Foundation Brush makes it easier than ever. The petal-shaped, synthetic brush is designed to blend and distribute evenly for full coverage and works well with Michael Todd’s full range of foundations for all skin types.
Just as an artist equips himself with a variety of brushes to achieve each brush stroke, your tool kit should include a set of high quality brushes to enhance each look you wish to achieve, from work-time conservative to night-time seductive. All Michael Todd Cosmetics brushes are made of the finest natural and synthetic fibers, and are accented by our signature plum wooden handles for a comfortable grip and smooth application.
Our best cosmetics brushes may be purchased separately, or as a set. Our 18-piece brush set consists of all essential eye, face and lip brushes, plus a luxurious velour puff for finishing powder. Smaller travel brushes are also available in two sizes, including a dual-sided eye and eyeliner brush, lip brush and blush brush. These compact-size brushes may be purchased separately or together.
Make Up Artist Michael Todd has revolutionized the cosmetics industry with the introduction of a wide assortment of products for the face and body that are high end without the high end price tag. Michael Todd Cosmetics is the most exclusive cosmetics line in the industry with the greatest range of shades and formulas. Michael Todd has invested resources not only in his cosmetics line but has taken his passion for excellence and expanded it to his line of foundation and cosmetics brushes as well.
Michael Todd Cosmetics offers twelve different foundation make-up options to choose from. Each foundation make up has different attributes that can help you create an even complexion for your skin type. It will all depend on the type of skin you have and the environment that you’ll find yourself in daily. Considering that most people have a combination skin type, where there are varying levels of dryness and oiliness, choosing a foundation make up can be more complicated, and often leads to the use of two different foundations to reach a desired outcome. Foundation is an instrumental tool to add to your make up kit. You can find many foundation make up products that include varying degrees of SPF to protect you from the sun’s rays. Michael Todd Cosmetics offers tinted foundations, clear foundations, as well as a wide range of shades to match any skin tone.
EDIT: I added some more pics of the brushes for comparison. Hope this helps!
I had a really hard time deciding whether or not I should cancel my Colour Forms order. I did actually call them to cancel, but they had already charged my card so my options were to either go pick them up and keep them or go to the store on pick up day and get a refund... I decided to pick them up and play with them to see if I really want to keep them... I got the advanced brush set & Naked to the Core l/s. I have to say that I'm definitely keeping the lipstick! When I pre-ordered them, I didn't swatch them on my lips since I would never let one of the tester lipsticks ever touch my lips so I swatched them on my hand and decided I liked it enough... But I tried my new one on today after I picked it up and I LOVE IT! It's now my HG nude lippie! It doesn't make me look washed out and it has a hint of pink in it. I think it'd make a really nice color for the winter time.
The 168 SE is just as good quality as the regular one except it's so much smaller! meaning the handle AND the brush head itself. I prefer the regular sized one for everyday use, but I guess the small one would be good for traveling. I haven't used any of the brushes yet so this is all from feeling their texture, bristles, and stiffness. The 168 SE might be good for small blushes like ELF blushes or sample jars.
The 219 SE is tapered like the regular one, but the SE is not as pointy (meaning not as precise), but it'll still do the job for putting color on the lower lash line and in the crease. It seems like the SE has more brush hairs than the regular which is weird in my opinion... Why waste money on producing a brush with more bristles than the regular one? lol.
I don't own the regular sized brushes of the 275 SE and the 212 SE, but they seem alright. The 275 SE is pretty soft and very very flimsy. The bristles practically bend over when you put pressure on them. It does seem like it'd be very easy to just sweep color across the lid though since it's angled.
I can already tell that the 212 SE is going to be a good brush. It's a flat liner brush and the only liner brushes I've used are angled ones. This one is very stiff (EXTREMELY stiff!) which makes it ideal for putting on eyeliner. It's small and I think that's a good thing since I'll have more control over applying my eyeliner.
I had no intention of keeping this brush set until I washed them lol. Now I'm kinda growing fond of them. I think I just need to kick myself in the behind for hoarding things that I do not need and just want. I also checked out the Electro Flash, Sonic Chic, & New View collections, but surprisingly enough, I didn't like ANY of them! All of them were just way too shimmery for me and I usually like a little bit of shimmer, but those babies were super shimmery! Sucks for the MA that kept trying so hard to push for a sale. I hate when they do that! Why can't they do it when I need them at the right time when I actually want a makeover and actually need help? lol.
