What materials are used in the Juliet Eve Collection brushes?
The Juliet Eve Collection brushes are a vegan, they have a black painted wooden handle that is water resistant, and they come in bouncy synthetic nylon bristles.
How do I use the Juliet Eve Brushes?
Get your brush wet, wipe the end of it against the edge of your water container, rub against your dry cake until you create a creamy consistency and then paint on the face/body. Take care to shape the bristles while loading the paint. Load multiple colors in split cakes for one stroke painting.

The Desert Island Brush No.6
A perfectly pointed round.
So called because if I was stranded on a desert island, this is the one brush I would take with me! It can do just about everything - fine lines, thick lines, tribals, teardrops (Thin to Thick), petals, swirls and curlicues, leaves, edging and outlining, switch swiping and more!
Its ability to produce Thin to Thick to Thin lines is unrivalled!
The Desert Island Brush No.4
A smaller perfectly pointed round.
No. 4 can do everything the No. 6 can do and can also take the place of a tiny liner for more delicate lines as it has such a fine tip. Plus you save on re-loading, as it holds more paint in the reservoir.
The Dot-comma No.4
Another round, but with a blunter tip.
This brush is an all-rounder and best for making comma strokes (Thick to Thin). The round tip is perfect for smoother curved tops to the comma. It also works brilliantly for making dots of all sizes.
The Blossom 3/8”
A flat petal brush with a fine point.
This brush is perfect for flowers of all sorts as well as leaves. You can use it on the flat side to make wide marks, on its side for thinner petals, or at a ¾ angle to make more varied shapes. As it has such a fine tip, it’s also perfect for dragon drops and lily petal shapes. It’s great for double-dipping and switch-swiping too.
Dagger ¼”
A flat brush with bristles arranged like a blade down one side.
I like this brush for perfect endless whiskers, feathers, wavy lines, tiger stripes – any time you want to make a super thin line and then a wide part as well. It can also be used for one-strokes. More versatile than you could imagine!
Liner No.2
A super-thin long bristled brush - also known as a rigger or a script liner.
This brush is best for fast, fluid, loose, long, swirling lines (à la Erica Walsh), adding a fine, delicate element to a design. It could be used for whiskers (though I prefer the dagger for this). You can also twist and slide it to produce more mystical lines (à la Monique Lily).
Flat Angle ½”
A superb flat brush with an angled chisel.
This brush is favoured for one-stroke work with its smooth action.
I have chosen it for its precision on the chisel edge and its narrower ferule.
Great for edging a mask, flowers, roses, leaves, unicorns and much more!
It can also be used for filling in larger spaces and wherever a square shape is required.
Flat Square 5/8”
Another flat brush as an alternative, as some people prefer the square end.
You can use either edge for the lighter colour of the one-stroke cake and therefore reverse the colour line-up. It has longer bristles than the angle brush, so it’s able to take more paint and is therefore better for larger shapes. It’s also useful for body painting. It is also great for edging, blending and filling broad areas.
