My Experience with NYX Pro Contour Brush:

Its all-black looks are quite nice but not cute at all. The handle is long and easy to hold. The natural fibers are soft but not as soft as I wanted them to be. The bristles are tapered and round but I do not find it perfect for precise contouring especially if you have a small face. To be honest, I was expecting the brush to be a well-packaged one. The brush came in just one thin disposable plastic wrap, which makes storage a bit difficult.

The brush is easy to wash and it gets cleansed easily without shedding any bristles. But, with time, the bristles have kind of splayed and lost their shape which is not good at all. The shape of the brush facilitates soft contoured look but I do not really like how it handles the products. It works well with powder products but I do not think this one is meant for cream products. I have used it with a contouring cream and this brush could not blend it seamlessly.

I mean I like how this brush applied my blushers and bronzers but do not like how it applied and blends contouring products, especially cream ones. I do not know if it’s just me but I prefer brushes like MUA F6 Blusher and Contouring Brush and Makeup Revolution Pro Curve Contour Foundation Brush since I prefer precise contouring.

Even if I accept the shape of the brush and start working with it, I do not like how it blends my products. It does help adding a bit of definition to the face but it cannot give a well-defined look. So, overall, not a fan of this brush. There is something about this brush that I do not like at all. I was expecting it to perform better than it does. And, the brush could not live up to the “NYX is finally in India” hype.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend NYX Pro Contour Brush?
No. I have tried much better contour brushes. This one just could not impress me at all. I would not really recommend this brush because I am sure there are much better products in the market.
