Lovely brush holder
This brush holder is a precious and very useful craft piece. I like it better than the regular one (I don't have it) because I want it only for eye brushes, for face brushes I prefer a brush bar, since I don't like brushes hair gets together and they don't get dusty either.
I only have out the ones I'm using out and the rest I keep on a Box until the rotation changes. Many brushes fit, not all the ones I have but it is the problem of being a bit addicted to makeup brushes. I don't know if I would buy another one, I thought about it but now that I have received it I think not. The reason is not because the brush holder is not wonderful, but because I like the brush bar better, I think that the brushes have better conservation if you rotate them and you only have those that you are going to use during those weeks. Its just something personal, nothing more.
Do you need it? Sure not, but its a beautiful option if you are looking for a brush holder and you like luxury items.
Travel set
These brushes are for travel. If you are looking for regular size brushes you will not like them.
I bought them because I wanted to test the foundation brush. This brush is perfect for liquid /cream blush or concealer. For base it would take a long time to get your whole face done. The powder brush can be used for bronzer, blush or setting /finishing powder but it travel size, for every day I prefer the regular size that is larger, this One is small for me. Its size is like a medium blush brush. I've added some picks, you can see the difference with Classic Cheek by Sonia G and with Chikuhodo RC-2.
About the eye brushes, the hair is identical to Sonia G's regular ones (not dyed) with another handle. In the photo you can see the comparison and I have added in the case of Flat Definer the Chikuhodo T-12 brush that I love and it is practically identical, although the hair is a little more silky than the Sonia G.
Please Sonia this set asks for a pouch matching to keep them, I need it !!!! It would also be wonderful a brush like the foundation of this set in a regular size to apply liquid foundation, I would love a brush like that and another in a smaller size for the concealer.
Must have
I love this brush. When washed it becomes bigger, more fluffy. It is the perfect brush if you like to apply bronzer without much precision. I only tan to raise my skin tone a bit. The angled shape is perfect for the cheekbone and jawline. Don't think it will fit for contouring and blushing. It is also dense enough to take pressed powders but it is not too dense to apply powder foundation. I also find it a very good option for finishing powder or loose powder. I like it so much that I think I will buy a backup when it is available again. Very very soft, not squirrel hair but feels silky on skin. The only con is that at least my brush sheed quite a bit. I recommend it 100%.
Love it
I love this brush. It is not the most versatile that exists but the shape it has and the softness of the squirrel hair make it unique. Extremely soft and very dense, ideal for applying lightly pigmented blushes or when you want extra intensity. I have heard that they are going to discontinue the BP series, I don't know if they will keep this brush but I recommend it. Hopefully Beautylish brings more Koyudo squirrel hair brushes. Once you wash it, the hair is still very dense but a little more airy, which makes the application even better.
Not bad but....
If you are looking for a brush for liquid foundation my recommendation is that you first try CHIKUHODO GSN Series GSN-2 Powder. Yes, it is a powder brush but it can also be used for liquid and cream. There is no better brush. This goat bristles are as soft as gray squirrel. It is dense and absorbs absolutely no product. It leaves the skin perfect, it integrates very naturally.
I HAVE ALSO KOYUDO BP Series BP014 Foundation Brush and CHIKUHODO GSN Series GSN-5 Liquid Foundation but I just didn't like them, because of the shape and because the bristles are Harper. The Koyudo One is too small for the face, in mi opinion Its not a foundation brush. I use it as concealer brush beca use Its soft, but Its a bit bigger for undereye
CHIKUHODO GSN Series GSN-5 is not as small as KOYUDO BP Series BP014 but its a bit small for face too. The bristles are Harder THAN Koyudo GSN5, wich is softer.
Me advice, first try CHIKUHODO GSN Series GSN-2, you wont regreat.

This brush is wonderful. The best liquid or creamy foundation brush I've ever tried. Although indicated for powders it is great for liquid. It absorbs absolutely nothing, it blendes perfectly and has a wonderful density and softness. Does not leave bristles checked. The foundation is integrated perfectly on the skin.Smooth like squirrel brushes.
I have KOYUDO BP Series BP014 Foundation Brush and CHIKUHODO GSN Series GSN-5 Liquid Foundation but I just didn't like them, because of the shape and because the bristles are harder.
I recommend without a doubt this makeup brush. To apply bronzer also seems fantastic to me. It has a shape similar (not same) to KOYUDO BP Series BP022 Blush Brush, which is squirrel hair and I love to apply blush right on the cheekbones. This brush is goat hair but it is just as soft. I have nevera tried a goat brush as soft as this One.
I am thinking of buying another one for broncer. And Wish there was an exactly shape but smaller one for concealer. Worth every penny.
Versatile brush
What I like about Wayne gross brushes is how versatile they are in general, he explains in his videos but when you use them you realize that it is true. However, I must say that even though they seem to me of very good quality, super soft and dense, I still prefer Chikuhodo and koyudo brushes. This in general terms, because not all are equal. I like this brush a lot, it diffuses very well, it is super soft, it is quite dense without being hard (Chikuhodo Z5 for me is too dense to blend easily) and it has a medium size, not very large (I prefer them a little bigger). It seems perfect for daily makeup, you can do practically the whole eye with this brush but I prefer the SJ301 koyudo to make the whole eye, which is slightly less dense and a little bigger. However, this brush takes metallic shadows very Walla, better than SJ301 (if they are very difficult shadows, the Sonia G smugler two is better). So in general terms it seems to me a great brush at a very good price.
Haa I've sabe, in general that is the opinion I have of Wayne gross brushes, the price-quality ratio is fantastic, they are versatile and do not disappoint. Although I like other brushes in some cases, it is a personal opinion, of course I recommend this brush. Worth the price. In the photo from left to right: Wayne gross 6, Chikuhodo Z5 & koyudo SJ301
Love it
I love this brush. For me it is a must. The hair is super soft, it is quite fluffy but it diffuses the pigment perfectly. I like it so much that I bought another one. The short handle for me makes it super comfortable. I definitely recommend it. Worth the price. Perfect blending brush.
It is a high class brush. Until now I was using Mac brushes but the quality has nothing to do with it. The price-quality ratio of these brushes compared to Mac is indisputable.
