I am going to save this video to my favorites so I can use it as a reference. At first I thought I would get bored but how wrong could I be. I was very interested and also educated! So that’s how you use a fan brush! Thank you Lexi, this was a really cool, informative analysis of make up brushes! Happy Mother’s Day for tomorrow beautiful young Make Up Mom! 💄❤️🔝

[@LexiJong]

Really interesting Lexi. I can tell you love your brushes. I am really impressed with the Sonia G sky brushes that I recently picked up.

[@LexiJong]

Amanda Crozier I’m glad you like them too! As you can tell, Sonia G is my favorite brand. Thanks for watching!

[@UGCBYJENKK]

Hi Lexi ‼️ you have amazing brushes! I really want to try some Sonia G brushes those are on my list! Brushes really do make all the difference I never realized that when I was younger but now I do and have so many brushes lol that’s one thing I can’t get enough of! Great informative video also very tempting lol thank you for sharing 💕🤗

[@LexiJong]

Jen kkbeauty thank you! I love brushes too!

[@marymadigan8203]

Thanks Lexi,.find brushes very confusing so this was beyond helpful

[@LexiJong]

I am so glad!

[@shahinaismail1370]

Hi Lexi Since the lockdown I haven't used any makeup and brushes even though I purchased some just before the lockdown. Sonia G sky set and the Rephr set. I need to wash the brushes first!!! I coloured my hair yesterday and then put the Olaplex treatment in...I'm going to wait a few days before washing it out. X

[@LexiJong]

Shahina Ismail I always wash mine first too! Let me know how you like them!

[@clidrevandijk]

I recognized the Chantecaille cool quad on you as soon as I opened the video. It’s one of my favorite looks you’ve created

[@LexiJong]

clidre vandijk thank you so much! I have definitely used that quad a lot!

[@daisyquiroz4493]

I’m on a continual quest to find the perfect foundation brush and have had an eye on the synthetic koyudo. May have to finally pull the trigger! Great video!

[@LexiJong]

Daisy Quiroz please let me know if you get it! I would love to know how you like it.

[@slschmidt76]

I have the Koyudo FuPa Foundation Brush made with goat hair and it’s amazing for Foundation. One of my favorites. I’m always buying new Foundation brushes myself. The original Tom Ford #2, Shu Uemura Brush 18, Smith Cosmetics Brush 115, Chikuhodo GSN-02 and G-10 are all great brushes to try!

[@kaorurl7039]

I'm glad I found this video! So comprehensive! I'm tempted by the Sonia G. brushes. I was going to not get into her brushes because I know once I start, I won't be able to stop until I buy every single one of them 😂.

[@LexiJong]

That is my problem with her brushes too! I have most of them but I am still missing a few. They are great brushes!

[@kaorurl7039]

@@LexiJong I will have to start making a Sonia G. wish list 😃, and maybe eventually collect almost everything

[@LexiJong]

@@kaorurl7039 good luck! Her eye brushes especially are my favorites.

[@nevertheless191]

Hi Lexi. Really liked your video. I just bought the sky face set ( I had the eye sky set for a while now, and I love it) , and yesterday was my first time using it. I liked the cheek brushes a lot. My favorite Sonia g brush is the face pro (I love it so much that I have 2 of them 😅) . I would love to try the surrat one.. i wonder how it compares to the suqqu one.

[@LexiJong]

nevertheless191 ooh! I would love to try suqqu! I have heard they are great. The face pro looks awesome! I will definitely have to get those!

[@alexandradoremi]

Hi Lexi. Between the Suquu Face and Cheek brushes and the Surratt ones, which one wiuld yiu choose to use on a regular basis (hypotaticly, of course). Thank you. Love from UK x

[@LexiJong]

That is so hard to say Alexandra! But first, just in case you aren't aware, the SUQQU natural hair brushes are no longer in production. They have switched to synthetic fibers at the same price point. I haven't tried their synthetics but I can't imagine them coming close to the natural hair versions or the Surratt so I would go with the Surratt. If you have the SUQQU natural hair, I think between the two brands they are pretty close and it would honestly be a toss up. I think I prefer the SUQQU face over the Surratt face slightly but the cheek brushes I use equally. If you are looking for something like the SUQQU natural hair brushes, check out the Kyureido Kiwami or FudeJapan brushes. They are from the same manufacturer and less expensive but just as nice.

[@sheiladunbar3116]

I’m really interested the the Chikuhodo fo and z series. I think I want to try one of each. I do have both Sonia G sky sets and love them. I love the Wayne Goss Airbrush for setting powder under the eyes! It just glides so smoothly. That’s my recommendation for you. :) Love all the squirrel hair ones he has.

[@LexiJong]

Sheila Dunbar I have the airbrush but haven’t really used it under the eyes. I will try that! Now that Beautylish is having another sale I need to build up a new cart! I haven’t gotten any of the z brushes yet but they are on my list. I have heard they are similar to the Surratt which are amazing! Do you have any other WG recs?

[@sheiladunbar3116]

Lexi Jong I did get his face brush set and also purchased the #19 and #20 eye brushes. I don’t really reach for the eye brushes (I should because I have hooded eyes). I just think the eye sky set has the versatility that I need. The #14 (cheek brush) and #15 (fan brush) face brushes were a little too wispy for me. Comparing Sonia’s soft cheek to Wayne’s #14, the soft cheek is twice as dense almost. Wayne’s #13 is excellent for buffing in your cream blushes because it is somewhat flat on the top and then curves. I also liked the #11 and #12 face brushes. They look like the same shape, #11 is a tad bit bigger. They kind of remind me of the Classic cheek, but bigger.

[@LexiJong]

Sheila Dunbar thank you! I never know where to start and sometimes brushes I don’t really use. I wrote these down and we will see what the sale is!

[@sansdeb]

Love the video.Lexi, I have that Koyudo FuPa03 brush in my Beautylish cart for such a long time but never pulled the trigger. Now I have to 😉! Btw, I have the FuPa02, I don't like it. It is scratchy and not so nice like my other goat hair brushes. I will not recommend it. We have many similar favourites. Somehow I prefer WG eye brushes much better than Sonia G eye brushes and I love the two surratt shadow brushes (flat ones).

[@LexiJong]

I usually prefer synthetic foundation brushes and this one is nice and soft on my skin. If you get it, please let me know your thoughts. I will have to try the Wayne Goss eye brushes! I have one of his eye brushes and it is very nice but I know I need to get different sizes to get a real feel for them. Thanks for the rec!

[@anniewhitmore7627]

Hi Lexi - would that Surratt face brush work well for bronzer? I wanted something that could give some direction but thinking the Surratt is so gentle you can build? However I worry about a big brush causing application to look too muddy?

[@LexiJong]

I think this one could work for bronzer in a light application but it isn’t the best choice. Take a look at the rephr 04 or the chikuhodo fo-4. I think they are both small enough to not make things muddy but also a bit firmer and the angled head allows for directionality.

[@anniewhitmore7627]

@@LexiJong Thanks so much Lexi! x

[@sunsetandmoonlight5479]

I had no idea that undyed hair was preferable to use with cream products !!! I'll definitely pay more attention 🤔 I've been eyeing the Sonia G. brushes for a little while now but a lot of them are sold out and I prefer to purchase them individually because there's always one or two brushes on the sets that I know I won't get much use out of unfortunately, and a lot of them are sold out on Beautylish at the moment ! I hope they restock soon ! In the mean take care 🤗😚

[@LexiJong]

Sunset and Moonlight keep an eye out because Sonia G mentioned that there should be a restock soon for a lot of them but she isn’t sure when because of everything that is going on. Then she said something new is coming in September I believe. I will post on IG when I see something. If you don’t follow her, she is @sweetmakeuptemptations and she has a blog with the same name where she posts updates.

[@sunsetandmoonlight5479]

Lexi Jong Thank you so much !!! I’ll go check her Instagram right now and I’ll stay alert 😉 in case the restock happens before her new launch ! I’m happy I saw your video before making a decisions so that I know exactly what to get ☺️😚
