Ebelin Naturally Beautiful Rougepinsel Review

By Maychiri's Thoughts - December 27, 2023

Alright, the next review is the Ebelin Naturally Beautiful Rougepinsel (eng: Blush brush).
 
 
I had already bought the other Naturally Beautiful brushes by the time I bought this one, so of course I had to buy this one too to complete the collection! Bonus: I managed to grab it 50% off! Of course, this brush was part of a limited edition that was gone in only a couple of weeks, so I was terrifically lucky to find it marked down. I like natural, recycled items, and the handle of this brush is made of 50% recycled materials, which is very good. Some people might scoff at these ‘natural’, recycled beauty products, but let’s first see how good it is before we judge it!
 
 
Packaging: it came in cardboard packaging that only covered the hairs and ferrule; the handle was left sticking out so that you can feel the recycled material. It’s good that the hairs were protected by a plastic window, it’s much more hygienic than when people can touch the hairs.
 
 

The brush itself has quite a rustic, natural appearance: it has an off-white speckled handle (made of 50% recycled wheat!), a hidden ferrule (you can only see the very end of it which is rose gold) and hairs that have the softest gradient from dark brown at the base to soft brown at the tips. 
 
 
 
The ferrule is quite large! The handle feels very robust despite being made from 50% recycled wheat! The hairs are synthetic and a bit shiny, but they don’t look at all cheap; in fact, they look rather expensive! The hairs are cut almost perfectly evenly although there can be a bit of fraying on the edge hairs. I had no fall-out or crimping or any other problems with the hairs; they are really high quality! The hairs are wonderfully soft, even when using a stippling motion. So wonderful!
 
 

This brush is way more than adequate for both blushes and highlighters. It applies a generous amount of pigment and blends it out so easily, which makes it exceptionally easy to use! I know that it is definitely too wide for highlighters, but it is actually an incredibly precise brush: I can tap on just a bit of highlighter to my cupids bow with ease, despite it not having a tapered tip. It is equally great for blushers and you can get a beautiful, even wash of colour on your cheeks with this brush. 
 
 
It honestly blew my mind just how great this brush is to use! Though I wouldn’t use it for contouring, it is too fluffy for that.
 
 
This brush is super easy to wash and doesn’t absorb a lot of shampoo, making rinsing it a piece of cake! The hairs don’t lose their shape and can be reshaped easily when it is wet. 
 
 
Conclusion: Ebelin rarely disappoints with their makeup brushes, and this one is no exception! Its hairs are super soft and very well-made and allow for both a subtle wash of colour across a large area of for a precise, intense look on a smaller area. It was primarily designed to be used for blushers and its shape definitely fits this purpose: a fluffy, slightly flared out brush with a surprisingly precise tip. It’s ideal for blushers, but also, surprisingly, for highlighters, too! The shape is nowhere near ideal but it applies highlighters so wonderfully, making them look perfectly blended out yet still very intense! Of course, with blushers, it is super easy to get a precise, extremely natural look and it is just as easy to build them up to a more intense finish! This brush is exceptionally good at blending, which honestly, is a necessity for blush brushes. The extremely soft hairs and ease of blending out pigments means that this brush is a joy to use; it is also a joy to wash as it takes barely more than half a minute to get it sparkly clean! So, to all the naysayers who claim that ‘natural’ or recycled brushes are inferior to ‘normal’ ones, this brush proves that that claim isn’t always true! Sometimes, ‘clean’ products are even better, like this brush! If only it wasn’t a limited edition product, then I would wholeheartedly recommend it! But as that LE was discontinued quite a long time ago, the chances of finding this amazing brush are very, very slim. Such a shame, as it is truly incredible!
