Beauty Product Reviews

Very good, but it sheds at first

I am revising my original review, as I have learned new ways to use this brush.

It shed quite a bit when I first got it, but it has stopped after a couple of washes. Adjusting my application method has also made a difference. Prior to purchasing this brush, I had used only low- and mid-ranged brushes. This was my first high-end brush purchase, and I didn't really know how to use it. I needed far less pressure with this brush than I was used to, because of the quality of the bristles. They are both strong but soft. Too much pressure on the brush does seem to cause it to shed.

When the brush first arrived, it was small—minuscule, even—for a face brush. After a couple of washes, it fluffed up into a gorgeous little ball, approximately 3.5 cm across. The original intent for this brush, when I purchased it, was for mineral makeup. It's a bit on the smaller side, so I find that it takes longer than I would like to apply a full face of mineral foundation. That said, I prefer smaller brushes for blush, bronzer, and contour because I like the precision it offers.

The brush is wonderful for liquid and powder foundations, blush, bronzer, contour, and highlight. Blending liquid foundation with this brush was mind blowing. It buffed everything to a flawless finish in seconds. Blending powder products is a breeze, and I find it very easy to wipe off product between product applications. Perhaps most crucially, I have found that it doesn't micro exfoliate my very dry and dehydrated skin.

If you get just one Wayne Goss brush, let this be it!
