Good but small brush

I do love this series. They wash well, and are very soft. The concealer brush is a tad small, but also works well near the inner eye area. This is probably the least soft of any of the series, but it is still very soft.

I Cannot Believe I Own Such Luxury

I feel so lucky to own this set. The cheek brush is so delicate and beautiful, and works well with softer powders. I can lightly buff but wouldn't want to push this brush too far because of the softness of the red squirrel. It is rare these days to find a set made entirely out of red squirrel these are stunning in person and so easy to use. The largest eyeshadow brush is one I reach for probably daily. It can blend, lay down color on the lid, or if I use the tip, I can lay down color in the crease. The smallest brush is fantastic. It can do all of your eye work: inner eye, lid, crease, smudge the lower lash line. I've washed them a couple of times now. I consider these brushes to be perfection, and the handle design is stunning. I hope other people can buy these and Beautylish restocks these soon.

Loved My XL Bag

I have been doing the Lucky Bags from Beautylish for the last 4 or 5 years, and have loved them all. If I have a palette already from the Lucky Bag, then they make great presents. This year was especially lucky, and I'm really grateful. I bought the XL bag the last 2 years, and have no regrets. Thank you, Beautylish!

Lovely Set

I bought this set for that huge angled brush. It has fluffed up after washing and is a joy to use. I use the larger eye brush for blending, for crease work, and for blending the outer corner of the eye. The smallest brush is a joy to use, as it can create some really detailed looks: inner corner of the eye highlight placement, lining the lower lashline, and highlight placement on the center of the eye. These brushes are so soft. I can use the largest brush for every type of cheek product: bronzer, blush and highlight. Hopefully, these will come back in stock, so others may purchase them. The attached picture is post wash, and it sort of shows the glory of that huge cheek brush.

Second Review for Second Set

I wanted to post a quick review of the second set I purchased from Beautylish and received today. I have washed and dried these brushes and they are very different from my first set. Please read my first review before this one, as this review will make more sense. This second set is more of what I expected from this little set of 3 eyeshadow brushes. In the image, the new set is on the bottom, and the "older" set is on the top. The S1 in this new set is flatter and has retained it's flat shape. The S2 is a beautiful, flat brush, similar to a classic Koyudo or Surratt. The S3 is the best surprise, as it is beautifully tapered and just what I was hoping for in this second set. Sonia did warn that these brushes would vary, and she is correct. I'm thrilled. If these ever do restock, I highly recommend them.

Excellent

I really liked these, so when I received my first set, I purchased another. For $140 ($150 with tax), these brushes are basically $50 each. Surratt's flat eyeshadow brushes cost more, and are less dense. When washed, these brushes do bloom. The S1 at first is thin, but when washed blooms into a mini builder. The S2 when washed becomes a worker, fluffy and full. The S3 blooms a bit, but retains it's shape the most. I do wish the S3 was less dense and had more of a taper. I know that Sonia says this brush isn't a pencil brush, but it acts like a pencil brush more than a blending/crease brush. Sonia makes dense brushes. You get your money's worth here. But that isn't like a classic Fude eyeshadow brush shape from Koyudo, for example. Surratt also has flat squirrel brushes, and those retain their flatness, which makes them ideal for shade placement.

But these brushes are so special. To have a squirrel worker (S2) is fantastic. And to have a mini builder (S1) is ideal. I'm still surprised at what tasks the S3 can do. I can use the S3 on some more difficult Natasha shadows. I'm glad I got a second set before they sold out.

The two pictures attached are the washed first set on the left and the brand new unwashed brushes on the right. The second picture has (L to R) the Lotus Builder, Keyaki flat definer, S1, S2, Builder Pro, Worker Pro, and S3. I wanted to show how the S1 and S2 bloom after washing.

I Now Have 2 of These

I purchased the Lotus Set when it first launched, and promised myself I'd grab another if they were ever sold individually. This little brush can smoke out your eye, provide detailed crease work, inner eye work, and I've even used it to deepen my outer eye and crease. I also use it for brow bone highlight. Granted, it can be used as a blending tool, but it will take time to blend with it, so I use another brush as a blender. It is a very soft and lovely little detail brush. It washes and dries well and it hasn't shed on me at all.

Softer and Airier with Every Wash

I will forever recommend this brush as one of the top 2 face brushes of the Sonia G line up. The other brush is the mini cheek. These will not move any foundation under it, and give the perfect placement to blush, highlighter and even bronzer. And every single time I wash this brush, it becomes even more soft, airy and a joy to use.

Bought the Set and Came Back for the Builder

I purchased the Lotus Set when it first released, and knew I wanted a few "extra" brushes for backups. Sonia G said that the builder in this set is the same as the builder 3, which is an HG brush for many Sonia G lovers. I don't have any brushes from her Fundamental collection, so this brush was "new" to me. I know this brush packs a punch for hard to pick up pigments, so I wanted another. I LOVE the handles on this Lotus collection. They are lovely to hold and so pretty to look at. The tapering on this brush is lovely, and the density of the bristles really allows for precise pigment placement, with minimal/no fallout.

Wonderful Crease Brush

I love this as a crease brush, but it can honestly do all the eye work I need for a single look: inner eye, lid, crease, blend, and smoking out my lower lash line. I've already washed it twice, and I ordered this about a month ago. The tapered bristles do very fine work with no eye irritation. I love this brush so much. This was my first Edit brush from WG, but it won't be my last. For reference, I have smaller hooded eyes, and this is perfect for me.
