Love for Brushes

I'm developing a love for brushes of all kinds.  I bought a few higher end brushes and they are amazing.  They are incredibly soft and my makeup glides on like a dream.  There are so many interesting shapes. I am really interested in creating a beautiful brush collection.  Show your brushes and share any cleaning and storage tips and let us know which ones are your favorites.

Re: Love for Brushes

Has anyone tried these? I feel like I had a brush from Smith Cosmetics a while back and it was kind of scratchy but I can’t remember. I like the shapes in this set but idk if it’s worth the price.08B22448-1E63-46AB-A294-09DD84785261.png

Re: Love for Brushes

@makeitup305, I have a good number of Smith brushes. The standouts for me are:

  • 210 - angled spoolie, the design is handy
  • 202 - a teeny precise eyeliner brush
  • 253 & 256 - small & large eyeshadow arrowheads, I like using the angles & the flat surfaces
  • 220 - a finishing eyeshadow brush, great for applying/smudging liner and blending eyeshadow; I especially like that it can soften heavy handed shadow placement (it acts like an eraser - I own 2)
  • 122 - I use for painting on & buffing in cream blush/highlighters
  • 157 - a wedge brush that I use especially for small blush pans (I turn the brush around to use the high edge for highlighter)
  • 154 - a large arrowhead face brush that I was drawn to for the edges.

I have quills 230 and 235 and I use them regularly though they're not unique. I have noticed that the gold ferrule is fading on some of my most used brushes. The only brush I would say is a hint scratchy is the 154 large face brush with its duo fibres but I kind of like having a brush with that texture. I also own their half-size Smithfolio, which I use to carry my brushes when traveling and is my top Smith recommendation!

Re: Love for Brushes

@TraceyEB @Thanks for the info! I have one of their arrowhead brushes and another face brush. They’re not my favorite but they do have some really interesting shapes. I might pick up the quill set during the sale or maybe individually if Beautylish has any of their stuff on their BF sale.

Re: Love for Brushes

@makeitup305, you can't go wrong with their quills, individually or in a set!

Re: Love for Brushes

I picked up the Sonia G Sky Face set during the gift card event, so will have to pass on Rephr this year, but the Complete set looks like an excellent deal! 

Re: Love for Brushes

@acecakes, yay for picking up the Sonia G Sky Face Set - her brushes are wonderful! 💓 Good call on picking the set up during the gift card sale too - it's like two gifts for yourself, one to enjoy now and one for later! 😃

Re: Love for Brushes

I’m debating any brushes during the event @itsfi , any musts you love love? 

Re: Love for Brushes

@Sunnysmom, here are some of the ones I have enjoyed using:

 

4 - it's held out as an angled cheek brush for contouring, but I use it more for bronzer

17 - cream brush

20 - I'm not usually a fan of fan brushes (lol) but I use this with some of my highlighters. It's not too dense, not too wispy

24 - cheek brush or bronzer - for products that have that baked gelee texture like Chantecaille blushes and bronzers

 

Let us know what you think of the brushes if you decide to pick some up.

 

Re: Love for Brushes

@itsfi how do you think their quality compares to WG and SG? have they held up well?

I have quite a few from each but have been interested in rephr (probably from the chokehold they have in influencers) and the holiday set seems like a great deal to try so many shapes.

Re: Love for Brushes

@makeitup305, my overall preference would be for WG or Sonia G brushes over Rephr, but that's not to say the Rephr ones are bad. I think the Rephr brushes on sale are a good deal and there are a few that I really like. The holiday set looks good; I picked that up but just haven't had the chance to sit down and play with them. I like the 17 brush and am interested in the 31 brush (it's a larger version of 17). 

Re: Love for Brushes

Oh wow thanks so much @itsfi , super helpful! I don’t know. I get confused easily in brush world 😂. I have a few decent ones and always need more I think. I’ll let you know if or what I pick up. Cheek and cream sound good as does a new highlighter brush. 🤗 

Re: Love for Brushes

Restock alert.  Several Sonia G brushes are restocked at Beautylish.   There's also a lotus + fusion bundle.  Some brushes are still unavailable, but the newer versions of sculpt brushes are there and a few of the sky set.  Most of the eye brushes seem available.  Master face is still OOS.

Re: Love for Brushes

@itsfi   -- They most definitely are!  I caved in the end.  Mine are still waiting to be shipped b/c I also grabbed one of the Fusion brushes.   So in the meantime...eye candy! 🙂 

Re: Love for Brushes

Ohhh wow @MCSSavvy! What a wonderful treat! 💜 I'm very excited for you to get your two brush sets! 😍 Those are beautiful scents. Looking forward to hearing your feedback on them. Fingers crossed your beauties ship out soon and make their way to you quickly and smoothly. 

Re: Love for Brushes

@itsfi @They’re beautiful. I’m talking myself out of this Sonia G set since I have at least 2 of each similar brushes from her. Have she put the round round (instead of round flat) blush brush in all bet is off 😂🤣

Re: Love for Brushes

Thank you @blackkitty2014! 🤗 She makes such beautiful brushes! I passed on a couple of her previous releases and couldn’t do it again. Though truthfully, I also didn’t try that hard to resist. 😂 

Re: Love for Brushes

Well darn it! I’m weak. I order the set 😂🤣 I will blame this on you love @itsfi 🥰🌹😘 PS I hope the fusion set will stick around since I want that one too.
