It looks like a toothbrush! Its handle is flexible! It’s so dense it feels like a cushion! And it applies makeup?! What could it be? One of the new trends in beauty: oval brushes. Do you need it, or nah? Watch my review and demo video on my YouTube channel, or keep reading here.
There are a ton of brands selling oval brushes, from super high end sets found at Neiman Marcus for $450.00, down to cheap knockoff kits on Amazon for $10.
I wasn’t willing to invest a lot into something I wasn’t even sure if I was going to like, so I went with the Hanza Professional Oval Brush Set for $15.99. You can buy the Hanza brushes that I purchased on Amazon here.
My set came with 10 brushes of various sizes. Each brush is absolutely stuffed full of dense, soft bristles. It is so dense that when you run your fingers across it, it feels like you are touching a plush cushion, rather than brush bristles. The handle is very flexible where it meets the head of the brush. The bottom part of the brush is wide and flat so you can get a good grip on it.
Let’s look at each brush.
First up is the largest brush, which I used for foundation. It created a smooth, even, base, but with less coverage than what I typically get with my beauty blender. For full coverage, I think I would need to apply two coats of foundation using this brush.
The second largest brush could also be used for foundation. I used it to set my foundation and concealer with translucent finishing powder.
The medium size oval brush was perfect for blush. It applied to the apples of my cheeks and blended out flawlessly.
The second smallest oval brush was great for undereye concealing. I used it to conceal the large triangle under my eye and it did a great job. It’s hard to describe how smoothly and evenly these brushes apply product.
The smallest oval brush was perfect for contouring. After just a few swipes of contour powder to my cheekbone, it looked perfectly blended out. I have difficulty achieving this with a regular contour brush. If I don’t use any of the other brushes in this set, this one alone is worth the $15.99.
Next up are three brushes that are long and narrow, called linear brushes. The largest one I found useful for highlighting. It applied like a fan brush if you go at an angle along the top of your cheekbone. It’s also perfect for going down your nose and across your cupid’s bow.
I don’t believe I used the middle linear brush for anything when I did my demo.
I used the smallest of the linear brushes for filling in my eyebrows. It did an okay job, but it won’t be replacing my regular angled brow brush anytime soon.
The final two brushes in the set are round brushes, and they appear to be the same size, with the only difference being that one of mine appeared to have some missing bristles, but I wasn’t sure if maybe it was supposed to be that way. I tried using the round brush that wasn’t missing bristles for eyeshadow, along with the linear brush for the crease, and it was pretty disastrous. It was really hard to blend, and really hard to be precise.
In the end though, the eyeshadow didn’t look too terrible.
Here’s my full face look after my YouTube demo. Overall, I think these brushes are a good addition to a makeup junkie’s collection. I don’t see myself using the brushes for eyeshadow or eyebrows, but all of the oval and linear brushes were great for foundation, concealer, powder, contouring, and highlighting. I think I will continue to use the brushes for those purposes, and therefore the $15.99 was worth it for me. Again, you can pick up these Hanza brushes on Amazon here.
Let me know in the comments, did you pick up a set of oval brushes? Do you plan to? What do you think of them? I would love to hear from you!
Thanks!

Whoops, I was in Sephora, picking up a couple things… and left with a whole haul. Who doesn’t love a good Sephora haul? I mostly picked up palettes, including a cheek palette, three eye palettes, and one palette that pretty much has it all. Watch my haul video on my YouTube channel, or just keep reading!
First I’ll cover my 500pt perk,. which is the Dr. Brandt Polish & Plump set. It comes with the Microdermabrasion, PoreDermabrasion, Needles No More Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, and Needles No More 3-D Filler Mask. They are all 0.25oz, except for the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, which is .085oz. I have not used any of these yet but I am excited to try them.
Next is the Ole Henrikson 3 Little Wonders 7-Day Transformation set, which was a 250pt perk. You get seven packets of the 3 Little Wonders, and one small jar of the Invigorating Night Transformation Gel. I am going to save these up for the seven days before my wedding and see if it makes my skin amazing.
The first palette I got is the new Sephora Contour Blush palette. I think the premise of this palette is that you contour with blush, so you use one of the darker shades under your cheekbone, a colorful shade on the apples of your cheeks, and one of the highlighters on the top of your cheekbone. I think this is a cool idea and I am excited to try it out.
The first eye palette I got was the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette. I don’t think this palette is particularly new, but I didn’t have it yet so I picked it up. I’ve made a couple of looks with it and the shadows are all really pretty. Lots of neutrals, peachy-toned shades, and browns, with a couple pops of color.
I also picked up the Too Faced Chocolate Bar, which also isn’t new but is well regarded and I wanted to add to my collection. It features a lot of chocolate browns, as you would figure, plus some other neutral shades and then a few pops of color like purple and baby pink.
The last eyeshadow palette is Buxon White Russian on the Rocks. I believe this palette is fairly new, it was placed in the New section at Sephora. I haven’t bought anything from Buxom in forever, but these soft, feminine shades drew me in. I can’t wait to create really wide-eyed, bright looks with this palette. It comes with a small brush; I doubt it’s any good, because usually the small brushes you get with palettes aren’t, but who knows? I’ll try it.
I saved the best for last. This palette has just about every makeup item you would need. It’s going to be great for traveling to my wedding and honeymoon next month. This is the Smashbox Create & Transform Masterclass palette.
The first row of the pop out plastic palettes is eyeshadow. It has several neutrals, and then some fun colors like orange, teal, pink, and purple.
The next row is the Transformers. These are iridescent, pearlescent, translucent eyeshadows and cheek colors that you layer on top of other products to transform them. There are six eyeshadow transformers and two cheek transformers. I can’t wait to play with these.
The third row is contour/cheeks, and has two blush colors, a contour shade, a bronzer, and a matte highlighter. I wish they would have included a shimmer highlighter, but maybe the lightest eyeshadow transformer would work as a highlighter.
The final row is lipstick. It has three transformers, which are similar to the others where you layer them over or under other products to transform them, and then three lip shades. I think all three of the regular lipsticks look wearable, but the transformers scare me. I can’t wait to play with them!
Well, that’s all I got! Whew! I can’t wait to try out all my new goodies. Please let me know in the comments whether you own any of these palettes or have your eyes on them. I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks!
