I have both (of course 🤣) but I think you’re absolutely right about not needing both. I agree with you on the Buffer Pro being the choice if you are trying to decide between the two. The larger size is just more convenient. Thanks for this great video!

[@brushjunkie6384]

I’m so glad to hear that. It’s a LOT more brush for a bit more $$

[@traciewarren1070]

Congratulations on meeting your goal!!! I am so happy I recently discovered your channel! I originally purchased the Smooth buffer when I was going through a (short lived 🤣) powder foundation phase and I hadn’t picked it up again until watching your videos and you mentioned using it for finishing. I LOVE it and it makes a world of difference!! I completely agree that having both isn’t really needed. 💜

[@brushjunkie6384]

Thank you tracie 🥰. I hardly use my smooth buffer but I’m trying to get into finishing powders. Sometimes it just takes a bit of inspiration.

[@recklessisrecording]

I think you would enjoy the brush much more after wash. I washed mine and it bloomed so well. It feels super fluffy and soft, never imagine a kabuki brush can be this soft!

[@brushjunkie6384]

YES! Its dried and its sooo much fluffier and soft! I Cant wait to try it now. Youre right!

[@ZackDooley]

Hi Traci!!!! This video is just what I've been looking for as I didn't know which brush to get. I am so happy that I found your channel in 2021 and saw incredible growth! I hope you had a wonderful trip, and i hope your 2022 is terrific!!!!

[@brushjunkie6384]

Hey Zack! I was just thinking of you. I havent seen your content for a minute. Congrats on your channels growth as well. Im glad to help you decide. Let me know which one you get.

Thank you so much Nikki ☺️

Happy new year to you! congratulations on meeting your gaol, and I think this video has been very helpful. I have both brushes, i think the larger size would be the best bet since it's more versatile.

[@catherinebell122]

Thanks, had the smaller one and ordered the buffer pro today! Love your content and trust your reviews😉❤️

[@brushjunkie6384]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cindymckay5810]

I got the buffer pro and face pro . I have to unbox them 😉. I’ve been looking forward to your video♥️. I hope you had a great trip with your family!!

[@tanyacook200]

Congrats Traci on reaching 500! I found your channel after your first couple of videos - I like your content and hope your channel continues to grow. I don't have either brush, I appreciate the comparison. Happy New Year!

Thank you for sticking with my channel. My first videos were tough to do. Thank you for the support. Happy new year!

Congrats on reaching your goal and thanks for getting this video up so fast! I got a buffer pro but I haven't washed it yet to try it ( I have to wash all my brushes, haven't worn makeup the past 2 weeks since I've been sick at home) . I can't wait to try it but I think I made the right decision over the smooth buffer after your feedback in addition to the prior video! Although I have the entire sky set and I'm itching to finish the blue handle collection... I'll wait as it stays in stock for some time. I have the Sonia g crane brush holder and it's basically full, I can fit one more in there.

[@brushjunkie6384]

Great choice. I just washed the buffer pro ANd it’s so much fluffier. I’m sick too 😷 I can’t believe it’s still available. I almost wanna snag another.

[@simona5491]

@@brushjunkie6384 it definitely blooms I didn’t realize it was going to be that wide!

I’m so happy you tried the Dior powder with these brushes!! I’ll have to try my SG Face One with the Dior powder. 😍

[@brushjunkie6384]

I just got the master face to try out. I’ll have to compare. I didn’t really like how the buffer brushes picked up the Dior powder. It did look really nice tho.

[@UnboxLili88]

Congrats on reaching your goal!

[@brushjunkie6384]

Thank you so much!

[@nay2vp]

Thank you for this review. I think it would be more helpful, however, to see how the buffer pro performs after it’s been washed and fluffed out. I have the smooth buffer but still debating on whether or not to pick up the buffer pro. I ordered the Koyudo fu-pa 14 from cdjapan after I saw one of your videos in which you mentioned you prefer it for buffing over the smooth buffer. Do you still prefer it over the buffer pro?

[@brushjunkie6384]

Now that I've had some time with the Buffer pro it's really hard to say which one I prefer. The Koyudo still feels more luxurious and does a fantastic job smoothing everything out but I like how the Sonia G buffer brushes allow me to get under the eyes really well. I'd say theyre both high performing buffing brushes and If I had to compare the Koyudo to a Sonia G- it's more like the master face but bigger.

[@polardog5443]

Hi! Love all your brush videos! Congrats on meeting your goal! I snatched the smooth buffer vs the buffer pro based on your recommendations =) I used mine to put setting powder on after my spf since this is meant for "powder", but found that the brush gets "matted" since the spf is a wet product and inevitably the brush will touch some of the spf, thus touching a "cream" product. Does that damage the brush? Or should I make sure my face is as dry as possible before using this brush to avoid that? Thanks so much for your feedback😊

[@brushjunkie6384]

Thank you so much for watching 😊 It’s probably not a good idea to let the brush get matted because the dyed goat hairs are fragile and the brush is probably removing that spf. The buffer brushes are best used after setting powder or on a drier face. For your situation I think A fluffier brush would work much better then you can go in with the smooth buffer to create a smooth surface. I’ve seen Michele wang “stamp” powder in with these brushes but I don’t recommend using it like that because its designed for a buffing motion- but to each their own. It’s worth trying if that is more convenient for you. You’re very lucky to only need setting powder after spf.

[@polardog5443]

Congratulations!! Next is 1000! Traci. When does “ need“ have anything to do with purchasing fude?! 😉

[@brushjunkie6384]

Good point friend. Thank you! I remember your comment when I hit 100!

[@mutantfroggy]

I have the smooth buffer and the original Face One(same brush head as the buffer pro but with the chunky handle) and I like to alternate between the 2,since I already have them both

[@brushjunkie6384]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@tinakris7893]

Hi, is there a big difference in the finish between the Smooth Buffer and Buffer Pro? I can't decide between the two

[@missnars87]

Can I please ask if you still feel the same since this video? One is in stock and the smooth buffer is coming back in stock :)

[@brushjunkie6384]

So I think the buffer pro is the better choice but I have not used these brushes for some time. I found that I prefer fluffier brushes for finishing. They get better with use and washing but not enough for my preference.

[@latinaboricua6987]

Congratulations!

[@brushjunkie6384]

Thank you

[@nzgirl2105]

Hi I don't have any of these yet. Which one is better for smaller face to apply setting or finishing powder

[@brushjunkie6384]

I would get the smooth buffer. It takes a couple of washes to get it to work well with finishing powder

[@nzgirl2105]

@@brushjunkie6384 thank you. You mean if the brush is dirty or when.?

[@brushjunkie6384]

@@nzgirl2105 either way. Wash it when it’s clean or dirty

[@indiag221]

How do you think the brushes will apply mineral powder foundation on deep skin?

[@brushjunkie6384]

I’m not that familiar with mineral foundation. I used it ages ago. Here’s my thoughts… if it’s loose powder the brush will pick up a lot. That may serve you well because you can get a lot applied quickly but it may become messy. A pressed formula would be ideal but I’m bias towards pressed powders. It also tends to leave a slight sheen which is beautiful and so smoothing. I predict these brushes will be amazing with mineral powders in general.

[@indiag221]

I finally received my brush. I’ve buffer pro is great. I was using the Sephora 55, and there is a visible difference in the finished look. The buffer pro delivers a more blurred application with a sheen! The other delivers more initial color payoff, but the application is not nearly as smooths nor is the finish as flawless. The buffer pro leaves a healthy skin like finish. I’m considering purchasing another brush, but I kind of want the Biyosodo -FD-01. I’m torn.

[@indiag221]

By the way, I use loose powder.

[@brushjunkie6384]

@@indiag221 I’m so glad you are enjoying your brush and thank you for sharing your experience with mineral foundation. I get asked that a lot. They are very special brushes. I’ll have to look into the bisyodo brush you mentioned.

[@marinabrownrigg8008]

I have both and do not use either. 😟

[@brushjunkie6384]

I know how that feels. It took me a while to pick up the smooth buffer after first trying it.
