Beauty Product Reviews
I really debating getting this set because I usually use much fluffier brushes and I didn't think I'd get much use out of these. I ended up getting them during the gift card event anyways. I'm so so glad I did, these brushes are fantastic! It's like they were made for Natasha Denona eyeshadows. It doesn't matter what formula, these brushes just flat out work. I've used them with cream and powders many times and it doesn't matter they work just as well with either. I didn't even know I liked brush shapes like some of these until this set. I've got tons of Sonia's face brushes but only a few eye brushes before this. Apparently she's just as fabulous at eye brushes as she is at face brushes.
Love it!
When the lotus brushes were released individually I knew I had to pick up a couple just so I could add the beautiful handle to my collection. I ended up getting this and the soft definer. I'm so glad I got this brush! It is different from any other angled face brush I own. It is pretty small but also fluffy. It applies and blends beautifully. I sometimes struggle keeping my blush, bronzer or contour in the exact place I want it so a small brush like this is perfect. I also own the face pro and this brush is much much smaller and the shape is a bit different. It is flat on top where the face pro is curved. So it is not an exact miniature even though they have the same bristles. I highly recommend giving this brush a try if you're looking for precise placement of your face products. It won't disappoint plus it will be the most beautiful brush in your collection!
Holy grail foundation brush!
I have struggled to find a foundation that doesn't apply streaky. I've tried so many different ones from the Sonia G jumbo base to the Rephr 31. I have super dry skin and nothing has ever worked for me until this brush. It is so soft and dense it applies my foundation beautifully. This is a very dense brush and it does shed quite a lot. You definitely want to wash it immediately because it blooms into its proper shape and it will help get rid of some of the loose hairs. After the second wash I'm hardly getting any floating hairs. So don't worry if it seems to be shedding more than usual it will eventually stop after a few washes. I purchased mine from cdjapan because it was a bit cheaper. But I'm so glad to see in in stock at beautylish.
Great for detail!
This little brush is fantastic! It is so great for details. It filled a gap i didn't even know I had. It's just a little smaller and pointier than the other small blender brushes I have. The pic shows it compared to the Wayne Goss 20, Sonia G mini booster and the rephr 13. The goat hair in this brush is super soft and I haven't had any issues with it being pokey. However this is not a Japanese Fude brush it is made in China. It's the first China made goat hair brush I've used and so far I think it's great. I think this brush is a steal and I think I might pick up some other Lina Choo brushes.
Better than I expected!
I wasn't sure if I was going to love these but I bought them anyways because Sonia G generally knows what she's about. I'm so glad I did. I actually didn't already have anything in my collection like either of these. I was thinking that the bigger brush was either going to be like the rephr 05 or 24. However it ended up being nothing at all like them. It's much fluffier than the 24 and a way different shape than the 05. The little brush is pretty special and it is my favorite of the two. I used it to apply my contour, blush and under eye powder. It's fantastic! You should definitely wash them when you first get them. Natural hair brushes always get better after washing. Also expect a few loose hairs here and there too. That is normal for these types of brushes. Don't freak out if you get a hair or two on your face when applying your makeup. I definitely recommend picking these up while they're available. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Favorite Sonia G brush!
This is my favorite Sonia G brush yet. I use it every single day to buff my face. It makes my blush, bronzer and contour look flawless. Make sure you wash it first because it gets so much fluffier. I have had very minimal shedding with this brush no more than with any fude brush. Highly recommend picking this up when it's in stock. You won't regret it!
So soft
I have kinda small hooded eyes and this works great for blending my crease or any other part of my eyelid. I have the mini booster as well and this brush is like twice the size of it. I do think the mini booster works slightly better for my small eyes than the classic crease. However the classic crease is so much better than the it Cosmetics #105 I was using before. Once you use your first Sonia G. brush it will be hard to go back. These brushes are amazing!
Great for applying color
I bought this brush mainly for laying down color. Because I have kinda small hooded eyes I didn't expect to be able to do much else with it. But I find myself reaching for it when I'm having trouble getting stubborn shadows to blend. The density of this brush makes it really move the shadow. I don't mind the shape of the handle and i don't find it awkward to use at all. I could live without this brush but I don't want to.
Not for me...
I wanted to love this...the smell is amazing! So much better than the bum bum cream in my opinion. But it left my hands so sticky its ridiculous. 2 stars for smell.
Best brush ever!
This is the best brush I have ever used! I have small hooded eyes and I bought this brush for crease work. It does this and so much more. I can do my entire eye with this one brush it is absolutely perfect. This was my first Sonia G brush and I've gotten 2 more so far. This one is still my favorite. I can see that her brushes definitely deserve their price tag. My eyes have never looked so good!
