Brush 00

I'd like to start off saying that I own a lot of Wayne Goss brushes and am in love with all of them except for this one. And that as much as this brush has let me down - I would still not hesitate to recommend his brushes to anyone (minus this one of course.)

Im not sure if perhaps there is a discrepency in quality from one brush to another - as some people rave about how soft this brush is - but I feel the one I received simply does not compare to his other brushes. It is not the same quality of luxe soft hair as his other powder brushes. I also don't find it to apply product evenly, or to have good movement when applying product. The hairs seem a bit stiff as well as not being tapered correctly. The shape of the brush is a bit jagged and overall for the price point it was a big let down. I did write to customer service who has always been incredible and amazing and they even replaced my first brush but to my disappointment the second brush they sent me was no better than the first. I have tried washing it, conditioning it, using t for a while to try to "break it in" and to no avail. I would have given it one star but opted for two as the only thing I can say about the brush is that it seems to have the perfect density. But everything else just doesn't work. :(

This brush was a splurge for me, but I wasn't sure how I'd use it once I got it. While it can serve a multitude of purposes, I find that I love it best for setting my makeup. What makes it particularly useful to me is that I can set my under eye concealer using the tapered point on this at the same time (I use Laura Mercier translucent powder). It's soft enough to handle this area gently, but firm enough to hold enough product on the bristles. I'd been using a flat topped setting brush to do this, and then had to go back with a smaller brush to set under my eye. This brush does both jobs at the same time. What's more, it delivers the right amount of powder without making my face cakey or kabuki looking. I really enjoy this brush and think its multi-functionality and luxurious feel make it a necessity to any make-up enthusiast's collection.

This is the best brush I have ever used for setting powder. Smooth perfect application every time. It's expensive but over the last few years I have spent far more on brushes that did not work for me. This is absolutely worth the investment.

First off, I want to give a shout out to Beautylish and their lightning fast shipping. I have several Wayne Goss brushes.. even got a backup of the Airbrush when it was re-released. Wayne's brushes are my babies... they truly are Japanese craftsmanship at its finest. That being said, I waited for several months before finally pulling the trigger on this particular brush. I have a lot of powder brushes, and just didn't know that this one was particularly "necessary" for my collection. After receiving it, and giving it a few tries with various products, I can truly say that this has become a beloved addition to my collection. I personally feel that it shines brightest when used for setting foundation with loose setting powder. It applies setting powder seamlessly in literally seconds flat. I tried blush, bronzer and highlighter as well. I will say that if I ever find myself travelling and can only make room for one face brush.. this is hands down the winner. In a pinch you can use it for setting powder, then one side for bronzer, the other for blush, and the tip for highlighter. I tried this, and it worked. If I am being real though, I will primarily use this brush for setting powder. #1, I have other brushes for the other tasks, and #2, it takes a few swipes to load it up with the other products. I use a microfiber cloth to swipe away excess products before dipping into another medium (ex: bronzer to blush). The brush itself feels nicely balanced and the goat hair is extremely soft, yet it retains its shape immediately after pressure is applied. I really think that with proper care and storage, this little baby will bring years of magical blending power. I look forward to getting my next Wayne Goss brush(es). Obviously I got by for years without this brush in my arsenal, but now that I DO have it in my possession, it's not going anywhere!

besides a Hakuhodo, this is the best face brush you can ever use. i use it for EVERYTHING. loose or compressed powder, bronzer, and sometimes even a blush if i'm on the go.

my to go brush when i'm traveling

I bought this brush to use with my Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette and am so delighted in the outcome. I have severe eczema and brushes with cut hair just exaggerated my dry skin and irritated my face, (yes I'm that sensitive) but this brush is so soft and glides right over my face blending out product perfectly. Money well invested.

you know that feeling when you rub your face on a fluffy bunny? soft, cottony, and gentle. That's my first thought, except that this brush blends your face like a dream. I used this for blending my contour(should get a black one, bunny looks like it rolled in the mud), lovely results. I also used it to set loose powder, big = fast! And it rolls over quickly when I do extra powdering under my eyes and on my forehead. WG doesn't go gone wrong with his brushes! Awesome!

Best powder brush on the market today. Keeps powder, blush, or bronzer on the brush no flaking of product. Glides over the face providing you with the exact amount of coverage you need. The brush is full and the bristles are like snowflakes on the skin. A perfect product.

Wayne has done it again. Best quality brushes. They blend products seamlessly and feel amazing on the face. Will definely be repurchasing more!!!

I'm obsessed with tapered brushes for blush, they target the cheekbones and blend best. This one is amazing. Soft hairs yet firm shape picks up pigment and blends any powder to perfection. I love the white, it's so clean and angelic looking, I wash once a week and not one hair shed. Believe everything, this is perfection. Shipping was literally overnight, I was stunned at the quick and amazing service. A must have for any makeup maven, artist, etc. GET IT.
