The epitome of all nude palettes
This is in my opinion the best "nude" palette ever created. The color story is beyond beautiful (taupes, browns, and pinks), the different textures are breathtaking, and the depth of each shade is amazing. Let's you create a quick simple classic day look or a sultry night out makeup. Every shade is delivering, no disappointments whatsoever. On my fair skin, the colors look amazing, true to pan. The matte shades are best applied with a brush, and the shimmers with a finger. A little bit goes a long way! Layering of matts and shimmers is such fun and the effect that you achieve is beautiful. Compared to the Glam palette this one is just a notch flashier, less subdued (not to be misunderstood, Glam is wonderful!). I do love both and no, in my opinion, and in direct comparison absolutely not the same palettes. I'm more than happy to have added it to my collection.
Great brush, but....
It is a wonderful soft brush, perfect for bronzer or any finishing powder. My bronzer looks now so natural. I love love love it. Putting a nice final swirl of finishing powder, it's done quickly, two three strikes and it layers nicely the product just the right amount. That being said... unfortunately, mine has a very penetrant smell, even after washing it. I would say it is a barny, goaty smell, not so much chemical as another review mentioned. I never had that with my other saikoho goat hair. I have even washed it now twice, but the smell stays. That takes a bit away of the joy using it, but beside that, as I said, a perfect, wonderful brush. It deserves definitely 5 stars for what it is and what it does but that's the reason I only put 4 stars. If anyone has a tip how to deal with smell, I'm open for it.
Beautiful combi
Love the bronzer: it is light with a beautiful subtle shimmer, it's perfect for my fair neutral skin tone. I love that it is not turning into an orange mess like so many other bronzers. The contour tone is wonderful. I was afraid it would show on the skin as too ashy grey when I saw it in the pan, but oh my! It gives a very nice light taupe shadow on your face, barely there but accentuates your contour beautifully. I was not contouring much before because all products I tried were just too much. This one though is just wonderful! Both powders are nicely melting into your skin and not sitting on top of it. Easy to work with. Excellent products, thank you, Wayne!
Masterpieces
What a wonderful set of brushes. I'm new to the Fude game but after my first brush (a Chikuhodo and now meanwhile two Sonia G. eye sets), I was hooked. Now I splurged and got me this set. It is incredibly good. I love all of the 5 brushes. They are insanely soft, pick just the right amount of eyeshadow and bring a beautiful wash of color to your eyelid with an effortless stroke. The blender brush is my new favorite for that purpose and makes blending so easy and pleasant. The eyeshadows are just melting into each other without becoming a muddy mess. It looks like if one color is smoothly being placed on top of the other without having a harsh line (hope that makes sense). Overall I highly recommend this set since (or any single brush of it). If I could afford it, I would also get me the face set ;-)
