Today it’s going to be a quick and simple review, just the
Zara Smudge Brush!

This was my first, and so far only, order from Zara's online
shop. I thought, "why not see what it’s like?", so I got this. It wasn’t too
expensive so why not indeed?

Packaging: it came in a white cardboard packaging that is so
super sleek and modern-looking, as typical of Zara products. The text was quite
hard to read as it was light gray on a white background, not a good combination.
The brush itself is incredibly sleek and modern-looking too.
It’s glossy white with one end angled and a tiny Zara logo printed on the side
(the logo is so difficult to see because again, it's very light gray on white
background). It’s a pretty small brush I must say, which is good because I can
get closer to the mirror when applying eyeshadow.

This brush has synthetic hairs. The brush hairs are black
and not terribly shiny. They feel really soft and seem like they are very well
made. And they are cut very evenly. They also don’t fray very easily.
This brush applies eyeshadows amazingly well; it picks up a
ton of pigment and applies it perfectly evenly, and due to the closely packed
hairs it is terrifically precise. The area where it is lacking is blending; it
is not terribly good at that but that is also because of the shape of the brush
(the thicker the hairs the worse it is at blending, usually).
As for how easy it is to clean, I can verify that it is
super easy to clean and wash. Even if you use shampoo that lathers up a lot it
is very easy to wash out the shampoo. I use a foam cleanser that doesn’t lather
up at a lot at all, so I don’t have to worry about suds.
All in all, this is a terrific little brush by Zara! It’s so
easy to use and it applies eyeshadows so wonderfully. It’s great for applying
eyeshadow precisely, like in the crease or in the outer V, or in the inner
corner. Washing it is also super easy, using whatever you’ve got. The only
thing that isn’t too good is how well it blends, or rather how it doesn’t blend
well at all, although that isn’t surprising given the shape of the brush. If
you do find it at Zara, I would make sure to pick it up as it’s wonderful!
Recommendation!
