Beauty Product Reviews
What I never knew I needed
This is excellent. It fits in my soft brush book when on the go and holds all my brushes perfectly when unpacked and using it. Totally worth the purchase. Definitely a luxury buy, but one that’s useful to me.
Great product
I hesitated in buying this due to the price. I managed to get it when it went on sale - super lucky - and I LOVE it. I will never need to buy or look at another travel case again. It’s really perfect. It fits EXACTLY the number of brushes I always want to pack and I can also fit my Sonia G pop-up travel holder in there when it’s flat. When I get to my travel destination I take out and pop open the brush holder, unpack my brushes into it and voila I’m good to go. Packing the brushes back in is super fast and easy. Excellent product - extremely happy with it.
Excellent
What perfect brushes!! I love the handle length and size of these. They are small but not what I would call “mini”. They are the same length as a lot of my other fude. I actually like the three eye brushes better than their dyed versions. They all have a bit more give and are softer. I absolutely love the two face brushes. The base brush fits perfectly into my concealer pan and will be the perfect touch up tool. There is nothing in my fude collection like it. The blush brush I need to play with more - I just got this set yesterday - but I love that it’s different both from Sonia’s other brushes and anything else I have. I’m a fude collector and while some of the Japanese companies make brushes I love to display, Sonia always makes brushes that I both want to display AND use. Her brushes are incredibly thought out and she always puts so much knowledge and passion into her brush designs. I have followed Sonia since about 2012 when I became obsessed with fude and used her blog to become more educated on them. I am so happy she started her company and keeps designing absolute masterpieces. Love this set and love Sonia <3
Gorgeous
The pictures do not do this brush justice. Absolutely beautiful. The hair is high quality and it’s just gorgeous. Love.
Favorite lid brush
This brush is perfect for packing eyeshadow on the lid. I go for a natural look and when I want to add a natural glimmer or bit of shine to my lid this brush is perfect. It is soft but effective and the perfect size and density with a good “spring” to it. I have what feels like a million lid brushes and this is my favorite and the only one I use now.
One of my favorites
Excellent pencil brush. I go between three favorites and this is one of them. Applies eyeshadow along my upper lash perfectly and has a great point to it. Soft but has a functional blending ability.
Perfect
This brush is perfect in every way. I talked about it already in my review for the entire Face Pro set, but decided it needed its own review here too. It is soft, perfect density, and the perfect size for blush. If you like bronzer on a smaller portion of your face it is also perfect for that. I use this with every kind of blush and just love it. Out of the maybe 20-25 blush brushes I have this is my favorite along with the Designer Pro and Inochinge Pro. Oh and I’ve never had it shed a single hair... actually none of my Sonia G brushes have ever shed so the other reviewer must either be abusing her brushes or....?
My favorite
This is the one brush I could never live without. There is no other brush that can line my eyes with dark powder eyeshadows like this can. It smokes out color and blends with no streaks and makes even dark colors look so natural. And best of all there is NEVER any shadow fallout with this!! No more tugging at the skin under my eyes to remove dark shadow. I use it every single day and no other liner brush comes close to its perfection.
Perfect
I am officially in awe of Sonia’s abilities. I own about 20 high-end pencil brushes and nothing even comes close to the perfection of this brush. I will never use another pencil brush again. Soft but dense, blends the shadow seamlessly on my lid. Absolute perfection.
Absolutely Perfect
I am a brush fanatic and own hundreds of handmade brushes from every brand - Koyudo, Chikuhodo, Hakuhodo, Eihodo, Bisyodo, Wayne Goss - and Sonia G’s brushes are by far THE BEST!! They always do exactly what I want them to do and are the prefect density, softness, and bundled to perfection. They also get better the more you use them. I never order brush sets - this is actually my first set ever - but I am so happy I did because there are brushes I wasn’t sure about that ended up being favorites. The large angled face brush is my favorite right now. It applies bronzer like a dream and puts it exactly where I want it and blends with ease. I don’t normally enjoy angled brushes but this one is absolute perfection. The “inochige” is my other favorite brush and it is THE PERFECT blush brush!!!! It places blush on the apples of my cheeks and blends it upwards. It is exactly what I’ve been looking for. This brush feels like squirrel hair but functions like goat hair! I don’t know how Sonia does it - she is literally a magical brush genius. The small blush brush is the perfect “one and done” brush that has short enough hairs to be directional but they splay out enough to blend the product perfectly. The smallest rounded detail brush I will be using for eyeshadow blending or highlighting my eyes. It is a little too directional for face highlighting but perfect for eye work (I have a large eye area). The fan brush is beautiful and firm enough to have great control but soft enough that face highlighting looks natural. This set gives me complete joy and I will cherish these brushes forever. Thank you Sonia!!!!
