Artisanal and Luxurious

The Keyaki Brush Set is my first Sonia G. experience. Though I have heard many rave about her brushes, I'd never used one. This set seemed like the perfect first experience. I don't have an affinity for overly large brushes, so the smaller size of these seemed just right. And I wasn't wrong! What struck me immediately when using the brushes was the solidity and girth of the handles. They may be shorter, but they fit perfectly in my hand and have a real presence. The finish of the wood handles is gorgeous; as a lover of Japanese-made fountain pens and inks, I know that the artists who make fine Japanese products really are artists. The blend of hairs for pickup and application of products is also really magical. I have always used drugstore-bought, synthetic brushes, so these were a revelation. With these brushes in my hand, I too feel like an artist (sort of). They give my hands the ability to use different makeup application techniques that really make a difference in how makeup lays on the skin. So, in short, I'm a Sonia G. brush convert!
