It’s amazing what a bit of colour can bring to an everyday product. I’ve been looking at a lot of lower priced brushes recently because makeup brushes are an area where the prices just go up and up without us noticing. It seems a big ask to pay £50+ for a single brush. Lottie London brushes at Superdrug come in around the £8 mark which is perfectly reasonable (although I’m experimenting with even cheaper brushes at the moment).
However, the addition of colour does take them to another level, visually, and even though I know those coloured tips will soon get covered in blush and shadow, I’d still reach out for these in store because they’re just so pretty! Sometimes, it’s just about the pretty. The blue brush above is the Studio Star Stippling Brush (I have never in my life knowingly stippled!), the little pink brush is the Perfectly Precise Small Eye Shadow Brush (£5), the red tip is the Contour Queen Flat Contour Brush and the purple tipped brush is the Buff and Blend for finishing powders.
In terms of performance, they’re soft and have good pick-up – they probably wouldn’t pass the working make-up artist test but I can’t really find fault with them. They’re also vegan which I know is a big deal when it comes to finding brushes.

Very reasonable price for makeup brushes. However I have to say that the Bobbi Brown full coverage face brush at £31 was the best brush I have ever bought and would recommend. I like the different colours of these brushes.

I love colourful brushes and considered Lottie but as soon as I saw Spectrum brushes I was sold… beautifully visually! http://www.spectrumcollections.com/
I love this range and have a few brushes. I find the colours really useful when I’m rushing to grab brushes to apply my makeup in the morning as they stand out in among my jar of sea of brown/black/grey brushes!
I love Real Techniques brushes but even their prices are gradually going up with the introduction of Bold Metals, although I still don’t mind paying for them as they’re such great quality. In the past though I have tried Primark makeup brushes and was pretty amazed at how good they were for under £2! xx
