A thread dedicated to Wayne Goss brushes and cosmetics line. His goal is to produce a high quality cosmetics line that feels, looks, and performs amazing and made to his specifications. Products will roll out over time.
@TraceyEB I'd take one of the infamous Air Brushes also. 🙂
@TraceyEB, I wasn’t planning on picking up a Lucky Bag this year (love the concept but haven’t picked one up for a couple of years) if I didn’t have most of his product line, I might have considered this.
@itsfi, it's a good value for those who don't own as much as we have. Most would be duplicates for me, too.
Wayne released a video today titled, Why My Makeup Line Failed. Spoiler: it didn't but he describes the cycles of product replenishment and personal funds depletion that lead to long wait times for his products. That lead him to consider selling his business to focus on product development without the financial stress. During that time, he was unable to replenish/develop products. Efforts to sell his business fell through however he was approached by two people who said they could help grow his brand and he decided to bring those people onboard.
Wayne announced that his line is being revamped and repackaged from the ground up. Next year will see the return of his makeup line, the launch of affordable high quality synthetic brushes, more artisan Japanese brushes, and bringing his brand to stores and other online retailers. There is also a skincare line being developed. He asked for patience as it all takes time but is coming. He said it has been a long few years and he can't wait for what is coming.
And now @TraceyEB, we know another place where my money will be spent next year 😂 I’ll try to watch the YT video this weekend; thank you for the news and summary. I am curious to see what, if any, changes he makes to this new collection.
@itsfi, I think this new collection is the first of the new era of his business. I hope he can bring back some of his original brushes, like the Air Brush and first eye brushes (like the 16 and 17). Years ago, those brushes were about to be released and then the post was taken down on Beautylish. There must be a big investment in inventory to expand to more websites and stores. Interesting times!
Thanks for staying on top of it, @TraceyEB 💕 I never would have known he was struggling...
@missaa8, I've had this sense since he began to develop his makeup line that he sometimes gets over his head at different points and the result has been delays in restocks and/or development. It sounds like he's on a more solid footing now.
Thank you, again @TraceyEB, for bringing this to the attention of BIC 💕
Beautylish's Black Friday Sale has 25%-50% off Wayne Goss products as well as bundles pairing a First Edition eye set and getting a free eyeshadow palette, buy the F1 angled brush and get a free blush, and buy the F3 powder brush and get a free bronzer. I suspect Wayne is clearing out his cosmetics in preparation for new launching new launches next year. Note: All Black Friday Sales are final.
First thoughts on the F5 Long Blusher Brush, the F1 Angled Cheek Brush, and the F4 Foundation Brush.
Below is the F5 Long Blusher Brush with comparisons. Whenever I have an intensely pigmented product that I want to apply softly and build up gradually, I first reach for Wayne's 2017 Holiday Brush. It's my favourite brush and the most unique brush that I own. The F5 has a similar airy design that I love about the 2017 Holiday Brush. Another options is Wayne's brush 14 with the dyed goat hair, another favourite brush. The MAC 137 is similar however with many more bristles, longer bristles, and bristles that splay too much, the application is uncontrolled, so I rarely use it.
L-R: WG 2017 Holiday Brush, MAC 137, WG 14, WG F5
Below is the F1 Angled Cheek Brush and the comparisons. I do not have any that are designed/shaped like the F1 with its very gradual slant. The closest to the way it splays is Sonia G's Lotus Detail Brush through it is quite a bit smaller. The angled brush that I use the most is the Smith 157 brush, which fits perfectly into the individual shades in the Chanel Travel Voyage blush compacts. Wayne designed a rectangular brush

WG F5 Angled Cheek Brush
Below is the F4 Foundation Brush. It is shaped differently than other foundation brushes that Wayne has designed. I'm curious how it compares to Sonia G's Jumbo Base (which has an angled design), how it compares to Wayne's 2021 Holiday Brush, which is also a buffing brush, and to his 13, which can be used for liquids, creams, and powders (an all-in-one brush).

@TraceyEB thanks for the awesome breakdown and comparisons! I want to try the F1 and the F4.
@makeitup305, thank you for the compliment! I used the face brushes today for the first time since washing them and the F1 was my favourite. I used it with bronzer; it is wide enough to apply it in one go; it applied and blended bronzer seamlessly. The slant allows it to move beautifully around the contours of the face. My other angled brushes are more narrow and I use them for blush and highlighter but not for bronzer. I used the F4 foundation brush with Haus Labs foundation, which has a perfecting quality so I need to try it with a few others. What I can say is after using all 5 brushes, my complexion products looked airbrushed!
Oooh, @TraceyEB, the F4 looks like something I’d really like. 😍 That’s great to know about the F5 and pigmented products - I’ll keep that in mind. Will aim to try one of those two, if not both, during this coming work week.
My WG First Edition Collection brushes arrived and I gasped at how stunning the brushes are with their glossy handles, matte ferrules, silky soft saikoho goat hair, and interesting shapes.
Did a quick visual comparison of Wayne's E1 Large Shadow Brush and two Sonia G worker brushes. The WG E1 is larger and splays further; visually, it's like a big brother to the Worker One and Lotus Worker. Below are the larger eyeshadow brushes that I have to compare to the E1. WG's original 17 was a beloved brush, so the E1 will undoubtedly be a welcomed surprise. The E1 has more flexibility through the bristles than any of the large eyeshadow brush comparitors below. The new E6 Small Detail Brush is the smallest and firmest push liner brush of the ones I own.

@TraceyEB thanks for the comparisons!
Received the F1 angled cheek, the F4 foundation, and E6 pushliner brush last week and I love them! Now I'm wondering if I should grab more. Curious how the F2 feels when used in buffing motions — I have the Hakuhodo (Wayne Goss OEM) J210 which is similar and I find it a little pokey. Also wondering about the airy F5 cheek — that one looks close to the Hakuhodo G5538 but I've heard that one can be scratchy. Thanks!
@Astradyne, hi! Love the brushes you picked for your order! The F2 feels silky smooth on the skin, including when using it in buffing motions. With its rounded shape, it moves beautifully around the face. I used it today with Guerlain Meterorites. The F5 is silky, airy, and with enough structure to place product where you want it. I used it today to apply a vibrant blush and highlighter mixed together. When I looked up the specs, the F5 and the Hakuhodo G5538 have the same bristle length. I couldn't tell if they have the same thickness. I read a review where the Hakuhodo G5538 was described as "slightly coarse." I'm hoping Sonia G reviews Wayne's brushes and can complete the measurements and maybe her comparisons include the Hakuhodo G5538.
Gorgeous @TraceyEB! 💗 I am excited to get to mine and put them to use! Your description of E1 and E6 are making me think I need to try those first.
@itsfi, it would be an easy eye look while you contemplate the brushes you want to try next! Hope you love them. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
@TraceyEB Thanks for all the comparison photos! Wow, the E1’s larger than I expected (even after watching Wayne introduce it in his video). It’s more like the usual fude eye shader size, but denser like the Worker One. Very interesting!
The whole collection looks beautiful lined up together. I hope they all perform well for you! My 3 brushes will hopefully arrive tomorrow. 🙂
