Natalya Shik 01 Powder Makeup Brush Review
Soft, Fluffy Powder Brush – Where Quality Meets Style in One Magic Wand
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been playing with the Natalya Shik powder brush (model 01) for a couple of weeks, and honestly it delivers on the hype. The gold‑tone ferrule feels hefty, the bristles are ultra‑soft and fluffy, and they scoop up powder like a dream—no prickly sensation at all. The eggplant‑colored box with gold foil looks pretty fancy on my vanity, but the 2500 RUB price makes you think twice. All in all, it blends style and performance nicely; just keep an eye on the cost and the fact you can only buy it from the official site.

live_helpFeatured FAQ
What material are the bristles made of?
They're synthetic ultra‑soft fibers that mimic high‑quality natural hair and are cruelty‑free. Tip: They grip powder well without soaking up extra product.
How does the brush perform with loose powder?
It scoops up a good amount of loose powder and lets it fall off smoothly, leaving an even, streak‑free finish. Great for setting and those final touches.
Is the brush suitable for cream or liquid products?
It’ll work with light creams, but the fluffy bristles are really built for powders. If you use heavy creams, a denser brush would be a better fit.
What is the size of the brush head?
The head is roughly 2.5 cm across, which is perfect for precise powder work and blending.
How durable is the golden ferrule?
It’s made of solid brass with a gold‑tone finish and is firmly crimped to the handle, so it won’t bend or break under normal use.
Can I wash the brush without damaging it?
Yep – just rinse gently with lukewarm water and a mild brush cleanser, then let it air‑dry flat. The bristles stay in shape.
Where can I buy the brush and how fast is shipping?
You can grab it from the official Zolotoe Yabloko site. Shipping from China usually takes 7‑10 business days and comes with tracking.
Is the price justified compared to similar brushes?
Even though 2500 RUB is steeper than basic brushes, the premium materials, design, and packaging make it a solid value for makeup lovers who care about quality.
Does the packaging include a protective sleeve?
Yes – each brush comes tucked into a soft protective sleeve inside the box, keeping the bristles clean and safe while you travel.
