I wanted to talk a bit about AL FO brushes.

Why a Fiber Optic Brush?
FO brushes are made to lay down less product, which is important with highly pigmented colors. They easily give a softer look, with less need to blend. They are indispensable for use with loose minerals. I had them for blush and foundation. I had not seen them for eyes until AL.

I have two of each of the shadow brushes.
I use one for lighter colors, the other for darker colors. That way I can use them for more than one day without a need to clean them.

I have two of these.
This brush is good for wider swathes. I also love that this brush comes with a heavy duty plastic cover. It doesn’t slip down, but you can pull it down or up, which means you can put it back on the brush from the bottom, push it up, and the brush stays perfect.

I have two of these.
This brush is good for doing the crease or applying smaller washes of colors. This has a hard plastic tube, as the above does, but it will not go down the brush (or up it.) Trying to put it on messes the brush, so it is pretty well worthless. I wish it were made like the above.

I have yet to use this one, the all over face brush, but I’m sure it will be excellent.

How do they compare to other FO brushes that you have?
I have BE FO bronzer and blush brushes. I did not have any FO brushes for eyes.

The AL brushes are softer. They both accomplish the same purpose.

My take:
I love the shadow brushes, and I especially love the covers on the larger size. If you don’t have these or something like them, try one, you’ll like it!

Do you have these?
Do you use a FO brush for applying your eye shadow? Do you have anything similar to these from another company? How do they compare?

5 I give the shadow brushes a 5; I’ve not tried the face brush yet. Maybe tomorrow.
