Review: Louise Maelys 32 Piece Makeup Brush Collection

As a licensed Esthetician and Makeup Artist, one of the most difficult things for me was making sure I had enough makeup brushes to use not only on my self, but on my clients. With the Louise Maleys 32 Piece Makeup Brush Collection and roll pouch, you will have enough brushes for absolutely any need!

.
This set comes equipped with 32 makeup brushes all individually wrapped and covered with brush shapers which is great so that your brushes maintain their shape. This set includes:

  • Brow brush & eyelash groomer: great for brushing your brows into place and combing clumps of mascara out of your lashes
  • Spoolie: Perfect for grooming your eyebrows into place or brushing through your lashes prior to applying mascara.
  • Flat shadow sponge: helps pack intense shadow color onto the eyelid
  • Rounded sponge: perfect for getting right into the lash line and smudging in your shadows or eyeliner for a more smoky look.
  • 2 Small flat angled brushes: help fill color into your brows for a more dramatic look. They would also help smudge out the lower lash line for a smoky look.
  • Two liner brushes: make applying winged eyeliner a breeze. These liner brushes would be idea to use with a gel liner!
  • Flat rounded brush: The perfect lip brush! This brush makes applying your favorite lipstick super simple and gives the most crisp lines with no color bleeding.
  • Flat top brush: another perfect brush for filling in the lash line. It helps pack intense color right into you upper or lower lash line.
  • Small rounded tip brush: Helps with detail work, such as running a line of concealer underneath your brows and blending it out


  • 2 Medium rounded tip brushes: Help pack on more intense color in smaller areas such as the outter corner of your eye. They would also make great lip brushes as well.
  • Domed tapered brush: My favorite brush for getting into the crease of my eye and beautifully blending out shadows.
  • Large flat angled brush: Creates the perfect super dramatic winged eyeliner.


  • Two medium length rounded brushes: I use these to put concealer in small areas such as up under my eyes or underneath my lip for a crisp line
  • Small pencil brush: Blends out eyeshadows in the crease and lower lash line
  • Flat rounded brush: blends out concealer seamlessly
  • Two medium flat brushes: pack intense color onto your lid


  • Two thick flat brushes: Blend out eyeshadows for a dramatic look. I use these brushes to make a cut crease when I want a fun makeup look.
  • Long flat brush: applies concealer in larger areas such as around blemishes
  • Angled stipple brush: Stipples on color on the cheekbones or eyelids.
  • Pointed foundation brush: Applies liquid foundation perfectly and gets into the harder to reach places of your face such as around your nose


  • Angled fluffy cheek brush: Applies and blends out contour or bronzer perfectly
  • Two blush brushes: Apply and blend out blush and bronzer
  • Larger blush brush: Applies and blends out blush and bronzer in larger areas
  • Powder brush: Applies powder to set your liquid foundations, or applies powder foundations perfectly


  • Fluffy fan brush: Applies highlighter perfectly to the tops of your cheekbones, down your nose, onto your forehead, and below your lip easily. It also applies bronzer or contour to the hollows of your cheekbones and blends it out for a dramatic look.


The Louise Maelys 32 Piece Makeup Brush collection is the perfect set of brushes for anyone to have from makeup professionals such as myself to a makeup novice. I appreciate the fact that there is such a large range of brushes included in this set, and it's so affordable! These brushes are made very well and they do not shed, I do keep them in their brush shapers after I use them so that they keep their shape. 

To clean these brushes between uses simply spray on your brush cleaner and wipe them on a paper towel. Once every 2 weeks or so wash them with a mild baby shampoo and let them air dry naturally. Replace the brush shapers after they are dry.

I recommend these brushes to anyone. They would make the perfect gift for someone that enjoys makeup, best of all they come with their own carry case so they are easily transported.

Review: USpicy 10 Piece Makeup Brush Collection

As a licensed Esthetician and Makeup Artist, I am always looking for the next best makeup brush collection. The USpicy 10 Piece makeup brush collection does not disappoint! This collection is made of very high quality products and they apply makeup like a dream.

The USpicy 10 Piece Makeup brush collection comes with 5 face brushes and 5 eye or concealer brushes.

Flat Angled Brush: Great for applying foundation, or achieving a perfect contour.The angles of this brush make it fit the face beautifully.

Tapered Brush: Applies liquid or cream foundations to the face. The pointed tip of the brush gets into the hard to reach areas of the face.

Round Brush: Applies powder or mineral products to the skin. This is the perfect brush to get a flawless finish with powder foundation, or apply blush with ease.

Rounded Angled Brush: Applies blush or bronzer to the cheekbones perfectly.

This is a closeup look at the 5 eye or concealer brushes.

Precision Angled Brush: Great at blending products into the crease of your eye. This brush would also be great at blending a contour down the sides of your nose.

Precision Round Brush: This brush is what I use to blend out my eyeshadows. It would also be good at blending a more dramatic contour into your cheekbones. 

Precision Flat Brush: Is great to stipple concealer on your problem areas. This blends the concealer under my eyes beautifully, and helps me do a cream highlighter. Sorry this picture is blurry, it just wouldn't focus.

Precision Flat Angled Brush: This brush will blend concealer into your hard to reach areas such as the creases by your nose, or really close under your eyes.

Precision Tapered Brush: Blends out your lower lid eyeshadows nicely. This brush would also be great to add a more dramatic highlight to the tops of your cheekbones. 

I really enjoy the USpicy 10 Piece Makeup Brush Collection. These brushes are made of very high quality materials, the bristles are extremely soft and don't shed at all. The ferrule is made of aluminum and the handle is made of wood. I appreciate the fact that these brushes have a little weight to them, you can tell they are quality brushes. I would recommend this collection to anyone, a makeup novice or a makeup professional!
