Beautiful brushes
This set changed my opinions on brushes forever. I was a sponge supremacist because I never got foundation brushes to work for me. I tried many different synthetic brush brands and just never got them to work around my nose and forehead area, where it often was either streaky or would cling to dry patches and create an unflattering base.
The lotus base applies my foundation better than any sponge, it just creates the most skin-like smooth application. I've used it with drug store and high end foundation and I've just now realized that it's the application that matters, not the price of the product. My Revlon looks like Nars because of this brush! It's definitely the stand out brush of the set for me.
The cheek and detail brush are both great addition. I've never had issues with synthetic brushes and powder application, so these brushes weren't life changing for me, however, it's undeniable that they are so much softer than any other brush I own. I have a smaller face so these size brushes are great for controlling blush and bronzer application. I love how airy and soft it is, gives the most natural wash of color and is super easy to build up color as well.
The eye brushes are fantastic. I didn't think I had particularly sensitive eyes until I used these to blend out eyeshadow and couldn't go back to my normal brushes after. I do use a fair amount of cream eyeshadows, so these don't get used as often as the other brushes, but I'm eyeing her fusion series very hard right now. Would love for her to come out with a detailed fusion eye set, as I have small hooded Asian eyes and a lot of her eye brushes are too big for me to feasibly use, but I can definitely see using them for other areas of my face or with concealer.
Oh, and I have to mention, I've washed them three times since receiving them and I think they are getting softer and softer each time. I did notice a slight smell after the first initial wash, but I used a bit of vinegar the next time and the smell is completely gone now. Some hairs did fall out in the first wash, especially in the lotus base, but I've read that those are the excess hair that are packed and are meant to fall out. I will continue monitoring for more shedding, but so far it has been minimal to one or two fibers since the initial wash, so I'm not super concerned about further shedding.
Overall, I was definitely sold because of the beautiful, unique pink design and lotuses are my favorite flowers. I am super impressed by how soft these brushes are and how multi-functional they are. I could do my entire face with this set if I had to. It makes makeup application a no brainer. I'm definitely getting my money's worth with how often I use the lotus base, that's for sure!
How luxurious and soft!
This is my first Sonia G. brush set, first luxurious brush set ever. I love it! So soft on my skin and blends the shadows perfectly. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that I would've preferred one big facial brush. Personally I really like the white facial brush for applying blush but would've exchanged perhaps the angled facial brush for a bigger one.
Beautiful brushes
Well when I received the brushes for some reason I assumed they were larger in size. They are very beautifully crafted , very soft bristles and the color of the handles just sets them apart from the rest of Sonia’s collections. These are so divinely feminine. I’m happy with my purchase
Beautiful and Amazing
Not only is it his set stunning, every brush works and functions beautifully!!
The base is multi purpose. I start with blending out my concealer. Then I use it for my foundation. Followed by my cream bronzer. Each one blended out great and with ease using this brush!! I have a small face I’m only 5’2” and this brush is perfect for me!
Lotus cheek, blends my blush both cream and powder effortlessly!! Picks up easily and evengly distributes the product!
Lotus detail, love this brush for my highlight!!
Lotus worker, wow where to start. If anyone has used a worker brush from Sonia you know what to expect. For those who have not this brush is my favorite eye brush ever!! I love her worker brushes they literally blend out shadow like a dream! I am a major amateur when it comes to makeup and using this brush makes application easier than ever!!
Lotus builder, what a great brush to apply shimmers on the lid! I have had no Troy me using this brush to apply eyeshadow on the lid!
Lotus soft definer, this brush is perfect for me! It is so small and powerful! Blends out shadow soo easily and with precision all at the same time!
Overall I don’t have a single negative thing to say about this set. I originally bought this set when it first launched and picked up a second set when it relaunched because this set is that amazing!! Sonia has once again nailed it with these brushes!
Love it
This is my first Sonia g set and I love it very much! The brushes are so soft and it is totally worth the high price you paid for. My favorites are the detail brush and worker brush. With these 2 I can make up my whole face with detail brush for bronzer, brush, highlight and setting. Worker brush for eyes.
