I think it's fair to say that these brushes have reached something of a cult status amongst beauty bloggers and lovers alike, not least for their shiny rose gold hardware. I resisted the urge to pick up this set for the longest time, but after chucking out a few brushes and identifying a few gaps within my brush wardrobe, I decided to pick these up, a 10% off code sweetening the deal.
Zoeva have recently bought out a new version of this brush set, but I went for the original, I prefer the brush selection in this one, and I slightly prefer the black handles to cream. The set contains eight brushes and comes with a beautiful brown leather pouch to store it in, complete with matching rose gold hardware.
So the brushes! There's a mix of face and eye, natural and artificial bristle brushes in the set, and I honestly can't think of any other brushes you'd need!
106 Powder Brush - Good for powder as the name would suggest, the super soft synthetic fibres pick up the perfect amount of powder so that things don't look cakey. I also like this one for bronzer, getting right up under the cheekbones and it blends colour out a treat if you go overboard with the blush.
102 Silk Finish - Possible the perfect foundation brush? This rounded top brush is the perfect shape and size for really blending foundation into the skin for a natural, streak-free finish.
110 Face Shape - The only one I struggled to find a use for. This is nice for under eye concealer, and also for cream highlight and contour products!
127 Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush - A small, natural, tapered bristle brush. This works equally well with contour and blush, it's the perfect size for getting under the cheekbones, or for dusting over the top. It blends product in a treat, leaving a really natural finish.
142 Concealer Buffer - Again, as the name would suggest, perfect for buffing in concealer. This works both under the eyes and on blemishes, and really creates a seamless concealed look.
227 Luxe Soft Definer - A perfect MAC 217 dupe, amazing for packing colour onto the lid and blending it in too. An eye essential.
231 Luxe Petit Crease - I actually prefer this for getting shadow along my lashline as opposed to the crease, the firm tapered bristles are perfect for creating a soft powder liner look.
317 Wing Liner - I like this for gel liner, but I prefer it for filling in my brows! It's dinky enough to be perfect for the job!
So the verdict? Absolutely worth every penny. Especially when you compare it to something like the Real Techniques Bold Metals Brushes that are £25 for one and nowhere near as good.
At around £55 you're getting a lot of bang for your buck, and this really is an entire brush collection, you don't really need anything else! I am in love with every single one of these brushes!
