REESON No.2 Brush Review

I just added a new brush to my REESON Beauty collection and I wanted to shout about it! Here’s what you need to know about the REESON No.2 Brush.

What is the REESON No.2 Brush?

I started working on this new brush because I really wanted something to apply and blend my REESON Lid Elixir which is an everyday go-to. If you haven’t tried it yet, you must! My eyelids have never been in such good shape! However, this brush can be used for most of micro- application and blending jobs across all makeup formats/

REESON No. 2 features:

  • Go-to tool for seamless application and effortless blending
  • Small, fluffy brush
  • Luxurious yet functional
  • Perfect for applying the REESON Lid Elixir*
  • Blends powder eyeshadow
  • Blends and smooths out concealer
  • Ideal for micro-applying setting powder
  • Vegan and cruelty free

How to use it

You can use this brush in lots of different ways. If you are using it for Lid Elixir, squeeze out a small amount of product onto the back of your hand, and then dip the tip of the brush into the product and then gently smooth and blend it over the lid. Wipe off excess product from the brush on to the back of the hand before using it to blend out the edges.

The brush can also be used to blend out powders. I particularly love it for micro-applying powder which I find is so much better than blanket powdering. You can gently take down shine in certain areas, and leave the glow in all the right places.

My Review

REESON No.2 Brush
REESON No.2 Brush

This new brush has quickly become an essential part of my daily makeup routine.

REESON No.2 is perfectly dense but still fluffy enough to give you a diffused, airbrushed finish. It picks up the perfect amount of product, which is something that’s so important. We’ve all had that experience where we go in with a brush and it picks up way too much product, and everything starts to go wrong. The bristles are designed to give you that perfect “just-right” application, and it blends so beautifully.

Whether you’re working with powder, cream, or liquid, this brush works its magic on all formulas. My powders go on seamlessly, and creamy products like concealers blend in like second skin.

Versatility

A great brush has to be versatile, right? And this one definitely is. It’s not just great for Lid Elixir, I’ve been using it for highlighter and setting powder pretty much every day as well. The size and shape are perfect for applying those products precisely where you want them without overdoing it. The soft bristles never feel scratchy, so there’s no irritation, even if you have sensitive skin.

Longevity:

I’ve put the REESON No.2 brush to the test when it comes to washing and it cleans up beautifully. The bristles don’t shed, and the brush itself doesn’t lose its shape. It’s one of those brushes that just keeps on looking good.

If you are looking for a bigger multi-tasking brush, make sure you also check out the REESON No. 1 brush. The large end is perfect for applying and blending foundation, skin tint, the REESON Bronzing Balm (which is our best-seller and has already achieved cult status) and the small end is brilliant for contouring, applying, blending concealer and much much more. I use mine every single day and it gives me the most flawless finish. It is genuinely the best complexion brush I own.

Collab with HaruHaru Wonder!

hihi everyone, I hope all is well, today’s post is very exciting!

I’m really happy to announce I’m working with HaruHaru Wonder on a 30 day skincare challenge!

Last year, I got back into k beauty big time and one of the products I loved was the HaruHaru Wonder black rice toner! Yep the hype is well deserved and real! I’ve been wanting to try more of their products so when they got in touch, naturally I said yes

Find out what I will be doing below

The challenge

For the next 30 days my routine will consist mostly of HaruHaru products for both AM&PM routines. My skintype is normal to combo with hyperpigmentation as my main concern. At the end of 30 days I will bring you guys my review & honest opinions and my top 3 products from their collection. I will also be doing full reviews of the products as I finish them later on. I will be starting my challenge on 1st Feb!

In my next post, I will detail what my new skincare routines will look like and show some baseline pictures. This is what I am hoping to achieve at the end of the 30 days:

  • increased radiance
  • fading of dark spots
  • maintaining barrier function
  • hydrated skin
  • smoother skin
  • overall health improvement

I will also be doing a separate post on the sunscreen I got, you know we love a good SPF over here!

The ethos of the brand is 100% plant-powered natural, active ingredients that provide clinically proven benefits that is gentle for everyone. Whilst reading more about the brand, I saw that they have braille on the outer packaging for the partially sighted/blind. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a brand that does this and I think this is amazing!

Follow me along this journey on my insta and I’m so grateful to HaruHaru Wonder for partnering with me for my first ever collab with a kbeauty brand!

Next up skincare routines!

catch you later

How to use it

Dot it or swipe it on using the applicator to any areas of the face that you want to create shadow (hollows of your cheeks, nose, forehead, jawline, and chin).

I would recommend dotting as it is better to build up the product rather than applying more than you need. You can then use a fluffy brush or makeup sponge to blend it out.

My Review

I think this product is going to go down really well and it is already selling fast! The texture is smooth and silky and slighter sheerer than the Rare Beauty blushes that are so pigmented that you have to be very careful not to over-apply.

The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Contour also has more play time than the blush formula, so you don’t have to be in a mad rush to blend it out. Once dried down though, the colour is very long lasting and doesn’t budge, smudge or move.

I think it is best to apply a small amount and blend, and then build it up in layers if you require a more intense effect. It is easy to add more, but very hard to take it away.

In terms of shades, I think I can use both Gentle and Mellow. I am still deciding which one looks better out of the two. I’ll keep you updated on that!
