ELF Studio- Powder Brush

 I'm lucky enough to get hands- on this product in Malaysia. I got it from ELF website for US$ 3 (not included shipping). If include shipping cost for this product probably I would estimate as RM 32 per brush.

It this worth the price I paid for RM 32? Emm.. I will say yes. WHY? Because in Malaysia you can't find similar brush like this. It reminds me STAGE cosmetics makeup brush which they own but more expensive. 

This brush in another name, you can call it as synthetic flat top brush. It has medium density which I find is good for blending out liquid foundation. Sometimes too dense is not good.The shape of the brush is not perfectly rounded like it should be. I found some of the bristles are not equally glued on the brush. Few of the bristles shed off during my first washing and during my first application to my face. After 2 - 3 times usage, I don't find any bristle came off. The bristles are soft like other synthetic brush would be (not the incredible soft type). It is not scratchy at all.

The Balm- NUDE' tude Palette (Fake)

This is a fake NUDE' tude palette. I find that the colors and quality produced are similar to the original. Of course, the original is better.

Price: Fake cost 8 times cheaper!

Pigmentation: Similiar color payoff. The original had slightly better in adhering power

Texture: The original is more smooth and creamier. Both do not flaky

Packaging: Original had better. The fake one got some minor defects

Brush which come along: The fake one is totally out of shape!

If to buy both fake Naked Palette from Urban Decay or NUDE' tude from The Balm?

I would say go for the Fake NUDE' tude.
