Pro Eye Set

This set is just perfect. Each and every one of them.

Pencil pro and crease pro are my absolutely favourites. They are good for detailed work, pencil pro for inner corners and smoke out lashlines, and crease pro for precise crease defining.

Builder pro's bristles are slightly longer than my mac 239, so it packs on color while diffusing the color a little bit.

Blender pro is also great, well it blends while still maintaining in a smaller section compared to other similar shaped brushes.

Worker pro is the most versatile shape, very similar to my wayne goss 18 and hakuhodo J5523, but it is not as fluffy as the other two(smaller and flatter), provides precise buffing function, or packing, or cream products.

All of them are firm but soft to the touch, provide great control over shadow placements, fantastic for small eyes or those who like to do detailed eye looks. I thought this set is more suited for deeper set eyes/hooded eyes, but they work on my non-existent crease and almond shape Asian eyes so well, I am completely sold, I cannot wait to pick up more singles when they are available.

On top of all that, my purchase experience is quite enjoyable. I got a message from beautylish(of course I signed up for notice), I pre-ordered, and I received my brushes in 2 days. I got so excited that I inboxed Sonia G. herself and guess what, we talked more about brushes! How cool was that!

What was surprising was the smaller size -- only because the original eye brushes were rather wide and thick. Not to say that this set is of any less quality -- they're just as great.

The main difference I'd say is this set will allow for more pinpointed placement of color and shape -- because of the smaller size. I can create a nice up-lifted wing shape with my eyeshadow with the 2 brown brushes (Blender Pro + Builder Pro): one for placement and the other for blending that diffuses the shadow, yet keeps the shape in place because it is a denser and thus stiffer brush (but soft). I imagine you could blow the colors out more in a more controlled blending process.

The pencil brush -- I feel is very similar to another hakuhodo pencil brush. Still great though: it does what a pencil brush does and is also soft enough to drag and diffuse color.

The Crease Pro -- white pointy blending brush is like a mini of the brown pointy one. It's diameter is smaller than the brown one.

And white Worker Pro that looks like a mac 217 is very similar to the brown one -- just a tad less dense and so offers the ability to diffuse and blend color a bit more. (There's a Hakuhodo brush that's very similar to this...I think the J5523) For the Worker Pro, the tips can splay out a bit more than the brown one -- likely to blend and diffuse color a little more than the brown Builder Pro one.

Lastly, if you go to Sonia's IG -- her descriptions are spot on (obviously) in case you wanted to get a little more insight into this set.

The zoomed in pics of the brush don't really do it justice -- because honestly, it looked meh to me -- but after getting the set -- they are really a work of art.

Verdict: I’m assuming this is a solid set for pros to add to their repertoire where they constantly need to create hugely different eye looks for dozens of models backstage. Comfortably light brush handle and bristles that doesn’t irritate sensitive and thin eyelids. Dense enough for it to serve precise, detailed application.

For me, I already have plenty of brushes, so this set is excessive and overkill for what I need for my day to day average Jane makeup style that’s few galaxies away from planet Instagram editorial cut crease harsh look aesthetics.

There’s 2 particular standout from this set that I love and greedily considered getting backup: Worker Pro and Blender Pro if and when it’s available for individual purchase.

This was my very first high end brush set and I CANNOT BELIEVE the difference it made when applying eyeshadow. It took my game to a whole other level. They are sooooo soft, easy to hold on to, and just so luxurious and stunning. I'm obsessed and now can't wait to buy more brushes from her collection. Worth EVERY PENNY👏👏👏

The brushes are denser than other brushes so I find it gives me very clean results. The blenders are already smooth and soft but these denser brushes will "bloom" and get softer and bushier. Outstanding quality and craftsmanship. Sonia G has earned the right to use authenticity stickers (by the Japanese Craftsman) now, so I was delighted to see those on the packaging. Delightful, down to earth woman, I wish her every success and hope she continues designing brushes, that I will inevitably keep buying.

The pro blender is the star of this show I can’t wait until these are sold individually because I need like five of those brushes. Overall I am impressed and would buy again if they were only sold in a set.

The pro eye set has the same superb quality as to SoniaG’s other brushes. Super soft but efficient hair. Stunning lightweight handles. And the brush heads are a perfect size and fit to apply products on the lids and lashline. This set makes it super easy to apply eye makeup like a pro. The builder pro picks up a lot of product, but applies the pigment with no fall outs. Blender pro blends softly and efficiently making me feel like a pro. Crease pro is perfect for my creaseless lids, applies pigment as if I have one. The pencil pro applies and smudges the pigment on my lashline with one swipe. The worker pro is an all-around brush, great as a laydown brush as well as a blending brush. As always, Sonia created another set of brushes that makes ordinary non pro makeup lovers like myself enjoy applying makeup like a pro 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This set is a wonderful compliment to the original eye set. The handles are beautiful, have a good weight, though lighter than the first set, and feel great in the hand. The brushes themselves apply and blend shadow effortlessly. I've been very happy with every Sonia G brush I have. Would definitely recommend.

This is the perfect eye brush set in every way. They have gorgeous handles that feel perfect in the hand and none of them have shed at all. Each brush is clearly very though out and is useful. I own almost all of Sonia G brushes and these are my favorite. Each time i wash them they get better and better. i do not feel the need to use any other eye brushes now.

Received my set on Friday (released date was Thursday!) excellent service by Beautylish on processing my preorder via text. These brushes are lighter and smaller than the originals, the natural hairs are oh so soft. The handles are exquisite, I absolutely love them. Highly recommend.
