I mentioned the Bésame long Hair completing Powder Brush as one of my favourites at the end of last year. Finally, I’m publishing my evaluation of this odd looking brush:
I bought this during the fall VIB Sale from Sephora last year, it costs $62 CAD / $50 USD.
The primary reason I bought this was – I’ll admit it – out of sheer curiosity! Firstly, the packaging is gorgeous:
The whole identity of the brand Bésame has an old-fashioned and vintage vibe. It accomplished the vintage look without looking kitschy – the gold box with red accent look quite classy and time-appropriate:
The clean description from the box:
Bésame brushes are designed to restore beauty and high-end to the process of producing your look – they make expert application effortless. designed to buff powder or cream with faux hair, it blends color with ease and glides effortlessly onto the skin. The deal with is designed to look like brushes available to Hollywood makeup artist during the 1930s. It is easy to grasp, comfortable and well balanced in your hand. laundry hair only warm, soapy water as needed.
I own a lot of brushes but I don’t have one that appears like a dustpan brush!
The shape of the deal with makes it really easy to hold, practically like brushing my hair. The deal with is made from plastic and the bristles are synthetic.
However, as odd looking at this clean is, I would not phone call this clean an original, as it is a fairly accurate reproduction of a vintage Max element brush:
Even the box is similar! Kilde.
Besides the striking appearance of the brush, the other feature is how soft the bristles are! It feels feathery soft and the hairs aren’t bluntly cut so the ends of the clean are much more diffused than the base. I’m sure the bristles of that original Max element clean was nowhere as soft as the Bésame! This clean is also incredibly well-made – I’ve been utilizing this for over 6 months and have not experienced any shedding at all.
I’ve tried applying blush, bronzer and deal with powder with this clean but I found it challenging to pick up and place product precisely. For me, the very best utilize of this clean is not for applying products, but rather, for eliminating excess product, and for blending large areas. Remember this post on Instagram from a couple of weeks ago:
The Bésame long Hair completing Powder clean is exactly the clean I would utilize to blend out blushes if I over-apply! You’d believe I would only need to blend out my deal with once in a blue moon, but no, I reach for this clean quite on a regular basis since I choose a seamless look for my blush, contour, highlight and powder. Personally, I like to blend away or eliminate a portion of my makeup to dial down the “makeup-y” look – hence why I also like to spray with facial mist after powdering my face. If you’re like me, you may find this clean to be valuable too. In fact, in my arsenal of brushes, I do own another clean that carry out a similar function – the Ecotools deal with & Body shaping Brush:
The bristle ends of the Ecotools clean is cut bluntly compared to the Bésame one, which means it drags the makeup slightly. I choose the Ecotools when I am blending out bronzer rather than blush / contour / highlight – bronzer doesn’t need as careful placement compared to the other deal with products.
Size-wise, they’re pretty similar but I find the Bésame to be much more versatile. Bésame itself offer another similar style brush, the short Hair Contour clean which, as the name suggests, is for contouring. It has black bristles that are much denser and shorter:
Kilde.
One could state it’s expensive for a clean that is a “one technique pony” but I have an appreciation for Bésame’s design, and the fact that they’re not a large company so they aren’t gaining economies of scale. However, I did note that this clean is made in China:
Which makes sense since I’ve noticed that the majority of brushes made from synthetic bristles are produced in China.
This is how my unwashed Bésame long Hair completing Powder clean looks:
See the gradient colour of my blush at the tip and contour / bronzer at the bottom? When I sweep this clean across my cheeks to blend out, it makes it look like I put in much more effort than I did!
Fordeler:
• stunning design / packaging
• extremely soft bristles
• easy to laundry / dries quickly
• No shedding
• Cruelty-free
Ulemper:
• Dyrt
• Doesn’t pick up or deposit product well
Stash worthiness: 8/10
Bottom line: nobody really needs this clean but it’s a valuable item to have on hand. I would correspond this clean with my Guerlain Météorites – they’re high quality products that are a bit bit of a show-piece, but they serve a unique purpose.
What charm product do you have that you don’t absolutely need but you find useful?
