Hi guys,
I am back with yet another review. When you have tons of makeup, you need numerous brushes too. Even though I have 345634 brushes :P, I decided to pick up EcoTools eye enhancing duo set. I only use brushes that are cruelty free. I do not use any brushes which have goat hair or any animal hair at all. I am a berserk animal lover which also explains why I have tons of EcoTools and Real Techniques brushes only. Anyways, read on to know what I thought about these brushes.
Price: $6 (excluding shipping charges)
Product Description:
This double sided set has four brush heads condensed onto two handles, freeing up space in your makeup bag and making new eye looks a breeze!
Shade & Define Brush: Apply shadow all over the lid with the shading brush then flip it over and use the defining brush to add depth to the eyes.
Blend & Smudge Brush: Blend shadow to eliminate harsh lines with the blending brush, and use the smudge brush to create soft definition along the lash line.
My Experience with EcoTools Eye Enhancing Duo Set:
Packaging: I love this packaging a lot. It is travel friendly and you get the four essential eye brushes you need in a complex way. Duo-sided brushes are always better to carry if you travel a lot.
Texture: The bristles are extremely soft and easy to work with. They did not shed at all post 3 washes.
I love EcoTools brushes and the fact that they are a cruelty free brand. Not just this but also that their brushes are extremely affordable and of good quality. These four brushes can help you achieve the perfect eye look in seconds. I love the blending brush because it easily blends away any harsh lines.
The shading brush picks up colour well and the definer brush has soft bristles but is stiff. I mean some definer brushes are quite hard even after you wash them but this one is pretty soft and I use it to apply winged eyeliner with it which works great. The smudging brush is a little big if you want to smudge under the eyes. It did not work under the eyes for me at all. I like using a pencil brush for smudging under my eyes usually.
I barely used the smudging brush because it is a little big to spread the colour below my eyes. Nonetheless, the other three brushes are incredibly good.
The only con could be that you cannot store them in a cup or anything like that because they are double sided. But then again, is that really an issue?
Overall, I am really happy with the purchase and I highly recommend these brushes. They are affordable and everything you need for the perfect eye look. This is great for those new to the makeup world!

Real Techniques Starter Kit Review
I absolutely love my Real Techniques brushes, I dont look anywhere else when makeup brushes are concerned. Good to know that these brushes work well too 🙂
Sorry for the late reply, Real Techniques is the shizz! 😛
I love every RT brush!
hi kajol.. (if u own the RT eye starter set,) could u pls suggest which is better among the two?
The real techniques set is better because it comes with several brushes and they pick up shimmery eyeshadow colours better than the ecotools one but if you are on a budget, i would suggest ecotools. You can always use a wet brush for shimmery eyeshadows. Sorry for the late reply Jennifer
