The Artis Elite Mirror Finish Oval 3 ($41; artisbrush.com) and Oval 6 ($57; artisbrush.com) are two new to me brushes from Artis I absolutely love. The Oval 6 is a flat, mid sized one that I like for smoothing out my under eye concealer and also for eye primer, my current one being the MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot and the thicker texture works great with this brush. The fibers are synthetic, super soft and the brush is very well made and looks just as good as new after quite a few washes. While I do think this brush is better suited for liquid and cream products, I have also used it to contour and it works great. I did have to go very light handed though since it picks up more product. Its now a must have brush for me and one I reach out to all the time. The Oval 3 is one I like to use when I want a sheer wash of eyeshadow. I prefer it with shimmery, powder eyeshadows and also for highlighters under the brow bone. Its quite a nice shape for precise application and picks up just the right amount of product. Both brushes are dense, but not overly so and dry quicker compared to other Artis brushes I own. Overall, both amazing quality brushes, look fantastic and get the job done super quickly when hard pressed for time.
