The Makeup Brush Collective Part 1 : Brushes I use for the face – Liquid Foundation and Powder

January 9, 2017 Paris B 22 Comments

I received some eagle-eyed queries not long ago about makeup brushes and why I’d stopped writing about them. Well, it’s not for want of owning them. I am still mad about my makeup brushes, in particular Japanese made natural hair brushes, but I’ve reached my optimum satisfaction point – anything after this would be diminishing utility <- economics! argh! LOL

So, I’ve stopped buying and ogling the beautifully crafted Japanese makeup brushes (my wallet thanks me profusely), and am quite content with what I own. Also, I own A LOT. It’s embarrassing for someone who isn’t even a makeup artist, nor wears that much makeup daily. So, instead of pulling them out one by one to feature here on the blog, I’m going to talk about makeup brushes as a collective.

makeup brushes for face

For this week, I’ll be featuring makeup brushes I use most often for face, eyes and cheeks. I’ll show you the type of brush, so you can find other options out there if you like, to see if the type of brush suits your makeup style. I’ll also tell you in gist how I work with these makeup brushes and why I use them and why I like them, if course.

We’ll kick off with makeup brushes for the face and lest I’m left to do all the talking, please let me know what your favourites are in this category too! 🙂

Blush placement made easy with the Wayne Goss Brush 2

November 16, 2015 Paris B 15 Comments

I haven’t been talking about makeup brushes for a while, which is a pity really, because I have quite a lot that I love, and so little memory of what I should be blogging about LOL! But here’s one I particularly enjoy using that I think many will too.

wayne goss blush brush 2

I bought Wayne Goss brushes when they were sold from a website in the UK, some time last year. He’s since consolidated his supplier to just Beautylish.com which I cannot vouch for, as I’ve never bought from them, but I know many have.

First off, let’s get this out of the way – Wayne Goss brushes are pricey. They are premium Japanese brush pricey, which means that yes, you may have to break your piggy bank to buy one. But to be fair, they are natural hair brushes (I love natural hair!) and they are very well made.

I picked up a few of his brushes a while ago, and I’ve shared my thoughts on Brush 1 and Brush 8 before this. Brush 2 took some getting used to for me, but once I got used to the size, I fell head over heels!

Wayne Goss Brush 1 makes foundation application a dream if you get it right

April 7, 2014 Paris B 33 Comments

I noticed recently that I’ve accumulated an insane number of makeup brushes. I know, I just have one face, but I am always curious about what’s out there and how I could find an even better product. Hence my insane brush accumulation. So, I decided to try to blog about 1 brush in a week, just to share my thoughts on brushes that I like or dislike. Operative word here is “try” 😛

I already have a number of reviews about various makeup brushes over the years. It’s one of the things I don’t give away nor toss if they don’t work for me, unlike makeup or skincare. Perhaps it’s because they don’t really expire, so I just keep them on hand 🙂

So that’s the niceties out of the way, I’m going to tell you a little more about the Wayne Goss Brush 1 face brush.

wayne goss brush 1 face brush

I was going to start with one of my most used brushes but it turns out that they were all unwashed and this was clean, so here we go 😛

The Wayne Goss Brush 1 is one of the original brushes launched by makeup artist Wayne Goss who makes videos under his popular Gossmakeupartist channel. For those who may be used to a flat paddle type brush, a round brush like one, with its slanted tip may be a novelty. However, for those who are already familiar with Japanese makeup brushes this is a familiar shape and style. It won’t come as a surprise therefore to learn that Wayne Goss brushes are made in Japan and of very high quality.

The WG Brush 1 is round, with a slanted, flat tip. The bristles are a mix of goat hair and synthetic fibre and this is in fact, a duo-fibre brush. What makes it different from a stippling brush is the density and length of the hair. It took me a while to warm up to this brush, but once I did, I love it 🙂

If you want just one Wayne Goss makeup brush get Makeup Brush No. 8

January 15, 2014 Paris B 62 Comments

Last year, makeup artist and vlogger Wayne Goss (gossmakeupartist on Youtube) launched his range of makeup brushes to great acclaim. I’m not a follower as such but I do enjoy good makeup brushes and when I saw that his were primarily natural hair brushes and Made in Japan (by Artisan & Artist), I was all over them!

I didn’t get the whole set though. They were pretty pricey. But I did get a few to play with and while it would make sense for me to tell you about them as a whole, it also makes a whole lot of sense for me to tell you the one brush you’d want to pick up from the Wayne Goss brush collection, if you ever just want one. The reason is simple.

I haven’t come across a similar brush out there, and that’s good enough reason as any! 😀

This brush would be the Wayne Goss Brush #8. There are 8 in the collection thus far, and they’re all numbered because they’re not meant to perform just one function, you can use each brush to perform a myriad of functions so numbers keep you from being tied to just a “Blush brush” or a “Foundation brush” or as I would call the Brush #8, a “Tightlining Brush”.

According to Wayne, this Brush #8 can be used for liner, push liner, highlighting lips, contouring lips, brows, micro highlighting, and under eye bags. I use mine primarily as a push liner or for tightlining and it is a dream!
