Oh no! Unfortunately I don't think bareminerals makes any natural hair brushes anymore, and I don't love the flat top synthetic brushes I've tried from them. You can find the natural hair bareminerals brushes second hand pretty easily if you are comfortable with that. I love the Sonia G Face One/ Buffer Pro, but I know that one is very pricey. I've learned the hard way that using a good brush with bareminerals is VERY important and can really change how the product applies.

@blathering. thank you so much and you are totally right hun! I love goat hair brushes and God spare life would like to grow a good collection! I hear tons of good reviews about Sonia G, do you think any of her brushes are compatible with liquid foundation? Also May I ask how do you wash your brushes? I brought a cheap goat hair set from OVW brushes and I noticed them breaking(?) Im not sure if the goat hair was so strained in the chemical process that it's breaking, or if it's shedding from the ferrule because it wasn't glued too good! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your brushes I will watch your other videos from a newbie enthusiast :D

@blathering. also agreed I ended up getting the same exact synthetic bareminerals you have and it's pretty awful! I didn't see it was synthetic because in the photo it was still in the package. I bidded on it and won, but at what cost 😭

@@dezzid.2558 So, I would recommend looking for reviews from people who use liquid foundation (I only use powder foundation), but if you really want fude to use for cream/liquid products, take a look at Sonia G's fusion line (mix of synthetic and goat hair). I have two concealer brushes from this line and the bristles are fantastic for cream and okay for liquid. (I rarely use them though since the shapes don't work for me.) Whenever I have tried using brushes that are only goat hair (e.g. Rephr) for cream or liquid, I have to use a lot of product (the hair tends to absorb the product) and the finish can be approximated with good synthetic brushes imo. Also, washing cream or liquid products out of goat hair is such a pain. In general, if you are using mostly cream or liquid products, I think that synthetic brushes are going to serve your needs better and at a lower price point. Maybe have a look at your makeup collection - What kinds of products do you usually use? Cream, liquid, powder? Make sure you are choosing good quality brushes for the products you are using. I'd really recommend looking at higher end synthetic brushes for liquid foundation - like BK beauty (my friend has these and loves them), Pat McGrath (I have and LOVE her concealer brush) or even Sephora pro brushes (good for the price point, not so good if you are sensitive to bristles poking you). There are probably many other good quality synthetic brands that I just don't know about. As for washing, I just use whatever shampoo I'm using usually. If you are using products that are harder to clean off of the bristles (cream, liquid), you might need something a little harsher. Unfortunately, if you find the brushes shedding continuously, there isn't really a way to fix it. It just means they are lower quality or use lower quality materials. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🥰

Glad the video was helpful! I prefer the Bobbi Brown cream in the pot over the stick because I can get a much thinner application of the cream, which seems to help with creasing a bit. I also find that the cream has a bit more slip to it, so it is more comfortable to apply as well. Since I primarily wear concealer underneath my eyes, comfort in applying is very important to me. The Bobbi Brown stick formula has always seemed a bit more dry to me. Yes, it's less oily, but it's also over all more stiff. I have a hard time thinning out the formula and find that it creases in a more noticeable way. That being said, I don't think either of the formulas are bad, just that the cream one tends to work much better on my very oily skin.

Yes! If you already have something that works, you don't need this one. I'm just happy PMG came out with the pink one since the white one didn't work for me 🥰

Lol, thank you 🥰 I thought the channel name was an accurate representation of my, um, presentation style 😂 So happy the video was helpful!

My pleasure 😊 I was so excited about these spf lip glosses, and they did not disappoint! Let me know what you think about them if you pick one up. Thank you for the video idea! 💖 I've tried many tinted moisturizers, bb creams, etc and I've been meaning to put together a video going through them. However, most of the time I actually just layer my sunscreen (usually Hada Labo UV white gel) + a silicone primer (elf dupe for supergoop unseen) + bareminerals powder foundation.

Yes, I was so proud of myself for getting that deal! I try to wait around for when their free item is something I actually want - it doesn't happen very often though. Tbh, you aren't missing too much if you have super oily skin like me. It has a nice serum like quality, but it still has a little greasiness. I can totally see someone with more normal or drier skin liking it though. My HG is still the Hada Labo White UV gel (with a layer of Supergoop unseen or the Elf dupe on top). I have heard the same thing about the BoJ popular sunscreen in the tube. I think it might be a bit heavier for really oily people like me. I still debate getting it every now and then though because there are so many rave reviews!

Thank you for your comment 🥰 Yes, I was very surprised! Oh well, I don't think retinols are for me anyway.

Yes, I do wish it was softer, but it's great for stamping on eyeliner. 🥰 It would be great for brow products!

Thank you so much for your kind comment 🥰 I'm so happy I was able to capture some of the beauty of these brushes. They really are so much more beautiful in person - really elegant in an understated way. Also, these are actually slightly heavier feeling than my other eye brushes. I think it may have to do with the wood chosen for the brushes (hornbeam) which I think is different from everything else I have. The slight weightiness and elegant look make these look/feel like expensive brushes, which isn't always the case for fude.

I'm so happy the video was helpful 🥰IMO, it's hard to go wrong with Japanese skincare products, especially if you want lots of hydration. I think you'll love both of the Hada Labo products. The toner is probably the most hydrating skin care that I've come across (aside from SKII, but that one is just too expensive), and I love that the sunscreen is an all in one product (toner + light moisturizer + sunscreen). Let me know what you think of the Hada Labo products vs the Naturie! I've never used Decorte or Kikumasamune, but I've heard great things about both. Since my skin is so sensitive, I don't typically use what most people would refer to as actives. The main ingredients I go for are calming agents (e.g tranexamic acid), ferments (currently using the isntree bifida amouple), and low percentage "exfoliating" acids for resetting my skin's pH balance (don't have a favorite product here yet). These help hydrate my skin and keep it from over reacting to things. I tend to use ceramide heavy moisturizers to help with my skin barrier (mostly Cerave stuff). The only other "treatment" I use is the Strivectin moisturizer (which I got in PR but will purchase) since this seems to help my skin barrier in a way that nothing else does. I hope all your skincare works out for you 🙏 I know I've gone through a lot of trial and error (and still do)!

Thank you so much for your kind comment 🥰 And I'm so happy you found this in depth review helpful!

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I hope my videos are helpful! Complexion products are very subjective, and what I prefer caters to my very oily, dehydrated skin and my very cool toned + olive skin. And I'm picky, lol. I find that overall, I vastly prefer cream concealers to liquid. Cream products seem to apply more easily, look more flawless for longer, are better on my wrinkle textures, don't require primer to look good (although they do look better with primer), and don't flake off the way most liquid concealers seem to do. The Bobbi Brown color corrector (the pot formulation, not the stick) is still my favorite for formulation. I find that I keep trying other things because the color light bisque is still a little bit too peach/orange for me. If you are neutral leaning cool, you probably won't have this problem, and the bisque (read: pink) color corrector range should work for neutral to cool undertones. The formulation is just so good though - or at least it is for me. If you are looking for a concealer and haven't tried this one, I recommend trying it out. Typing this all out makes me realize I need to do an updated concealer video! I hope this helps ❤

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🥰

Thanks for watching! Yes, I do think the pink one is quite a bit more powdery and messy than the other PMG under eye blurring powders. I'm so happy you are enjoying the original one!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and give such detailed advice 🥰 1) Yes! This is part of what I love about PMG's mattes. You can achieve the color that it is in the pan OR sheer it out to a whisper of the color (without it getting patchy!) or anything in between. I think where I run into issues with my current collection is nothing quite goes cool toned enough. Sheering out some colors allows me to 'get away' with using them, but I would love some that just work for me without having to 'make them work.' 2) This is such a good idea - I'll def try this out! 3) Yes, I think singles would be good for me. I think I get a little overwhelmed trying to figure out which would work for me simply because I'm still learning what to look for. I'm learning that undertones are super important for me, but it always seems like everything runs warm on me even if it's 'cool toned.' Stopping by a counter is a good idea. I haven't done that in a while!

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed comment 🥰 Viseart and Sydney Grace are absolutely on my list to try at some point. I've heard great things about their formulas and their cool tone range.

Thanks for sharing!! I can totally see a silicon brush serving the same kind of purpose. The E6 is just so firm that it might as well be a solid surface, and silicon would have a softer, less draggy feel on the skin.

🥰

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind comment 🥰 Buying new brushes is always exciting and also kind of stressful haha. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Singe brushes (or synthetic brushes in general tbh). I'm sure there are plenty of reviews of the brand out there, and I hope you can find some that are useful to you. Maybe one thing to consider if you've already narrowed it down to Rephr or Singe is to think about what makeup products you will be using with them and how those products might work with the brush fibers. Do you use mostly powder? Mostly cream? Liquid? If you use mostly liquid or cream products, I'd recommend going with synthetic. If you, like me, use almost exclusively powder products, I'd go with natural hair. Also, I know it's very tempting to get a really big set of brushes from whichever brand you choose, but I'd actually recommend just getting a small handful of brushes (maybe 5?). That way you can try them out for a while and see if you like how they work with your makeup and hold up. You can always go back and buy more if you like them, and if you don't end up liking them then at least you didn't put all your eggs in one basket. I was originally considering getting all of Rephr's brushes when I ordered, and I'm really happy I decided not to do that 😅 Whichever brushes you choose, I hope you love them! ❤️

Thank you so much for your comment and recommendations🥰Neon Rose looks perfect! I'll have to try that one out.

Thank you so much 🥰 I'm happy you find these helpful!

Haha, lipsticks are always so tempting! I feel like I'm still figuring out what formulas and colors I like, so I'm trying to take it slow 😇

Thank you so much for joining 🥰

Yes! My thoughts exactly! I thought we were going to get the pink version of the yellow powder 😅

🥰💕

Thank you so much! Happy this video was helpful 🥰

If you’re talking about the top left powder, it’s hourglass ambient lighting powder in “mood light”. It’s a finishing powder though, not a setting powder.

@@Xoxo_Koko Thank you!

The two square compacts are both from Hourglass. The bigger one is a finishing powder (in color "Mood Light") and the smaller one is actually a blush but I use it as a finishing powder (in color "Ethereal Glow"). The loose powder in the square container is the Huda Beauty setting powder in Cherry Blossom.

Ikr? She's such a genius with color, formulation, and application. I do hope that we'll get a 'wow' product from her every once in a while. I don't expect to get ground breaking products from her every year, but I do hope we get something every once in a while. Oh, and I hope they consider releasing a wildly saturated pink setting powder because that's what I wanted this powder to be 💕

@blathering you should take a look at the Jones Road Pink setting powder or the Ben Nye “Luxury” powder in Rose Glow!

@@cattiedoggie8 Yes! I was looking at both of those as well as Mob Beauty's pink setting powder when the PMG pink powder came out. We shall see if I pick up any of those at some point. Pink powders are one of those things that I really, really enjoy trying out, and I don't mind having a larger collection of them 🥰

🙏all hail the ai overlords, may their recommendations never run stale

Haha, you are very welcome. I love pink powders, and I've been waiting for this one for a long time so I had to pick this one up! So sad the pink pigment (or lack thereof) is disappointing. It's not useful for color correction, but it does work nicely for my skin tone.

Thank you so much 🥰 I personally don't have any issues with any of my rephr brushes (or any other fude for that matter) getting scratchy over time. If they are scratchy, they were scratchy from the start. I would just be careful with how you wash them - be sure to use a gentle soap. I personally use shampoo, but that's just me. I know a lot of people use Dr. Bronner's, but, um, I would steer clear of that one. I find it quite stripping and would not use it on my brushes. However, I only use my fude with powder products (except one rephr brush and my Sonia G fusion brushes), and I would expect using fude with cream/liquid products may require a harsher cleaning agent and might have a different outcome. (Tbh, I strongly recommend synthetic brushes for creams/liquids for this and many other reasons.) My understanding is that fude (and probably all brushes) will get scratchy or fall apart with lots and lots of use, and how long they last will be dependent on how you treat them. I have not had to retire any of my fude (I've only had them for 1-2 years) and I hope to not have to for many, many years! The rephr brushes can be a good deal (at their 50% price, please never purchase them at full price) if you are on a budget and are okay with lower quality for a lower price point. I personally have quite sensitive skin and therefore strongly prefer my Sonia G and Wayne Goss brushes. Please also take into account the shapes that you prefer, as Rephr does not have many of the brush shapes/sizes that I like. I have a Rephr review video on my thoughts after using them for a year if you want more detailed info. Not trying to put down Rephr brushes, just trying to give objective info as someone who prefers higher end fude. Hope this helps!

Wayne's brushes are amazing, especially if you have hooded eyes. If you are interested in his brushes, wait around for the Beautylish gift card event (I think you get a $20 gift cared for every $100 you spend). I think this is a great starter set, but it will depend on your preferences.

Thank you so much! I hope you find brushes you love 🥰 Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

I'm so happy this works for you! It is a very nice powder that doesn't cake or dry/dehydrate my skin (like so many other powders do), but for the price point I think I was hoping for more.

@@blathering. absolutely.

Oh no! I'm so sorry the creme color oxidizes on you - that's like one of my worst fears with any makeup product. I'm so lucky that I had figured out my undertone a bit better when I got this powder, otherwise I probably would have gotten creme as well. Although this is a nice powder, it's kind of a great powder among other great powders that are half the price, you know? And the fact that it seems to go off in a year AND they don't have refills yet is just insulting. I'll have a first impressions of the new pink PMG powder up once I get it. If you are looking for blurring + shine control, I think it's a great option. It's marketed as an undereye powder, but I use it all over the face. You might also want to check out Hot Mess Tom's channel - they have done lots of reviews on blurring powders (including both the westman atelier and PMG powder). Might be a good way of seeing what other options are out there! I say this because I'm very partial to the PMG powder and have been literally begging them to come out with a pink powder for a long time - but I know the formula isn't for everyone! edit: omg, it's hautemess tom not hot mess tom 😅

@@blathering. I love the PMG setting powder, I have it in every colour except the pink one. I saw Morgan review it recently, it’s not very pink. It is identical to the translucent shade on the skin. Which works for my under eyes, but may not work for u (u mentioned it was too light?).

@@nkurdy288 Yes, I have been watching every review I can on the new PMG pink powder since it came out, and I did hold out on buying it for that very reason - it looked almost white in the pan in most people's early reviews. I was so disappointed 😭. However, after seeing it in lots of different lighting, I think it's going to be more like the PMG yellow powder: muted and neutral. Which in the lighting that most youtubers use, will make it look white. My issue with the PMG light powder is it's just too stark white for my saturated skin tone, so it looks powdery on my skin. I think the pink one might have enough color (and not so much white base) so that is blends properly into my skin tone. What makes this decision difficult is out of all of the reviews I have seen, I haven't seen anyone who can't use the white one review whether they are able to use the pink one. I might very well be talking myself into a powder that's too light for me 😅, but the PMG powder is my favorite formula, and I've been waiting for it in pink for years. So I have to try it. But it may very well be too light for me - we shall see!

I have a lot of pink in my skin too - what foundation do you like? Hard to find for me! Also: check out Sisley (same price range as Westman or close). . . They have lovely pressed and loose pink powders! I like those better than WA - I find WA too dry 😮

@@cattiedoggie8 Oooh, I've heard such good things about Sisley's powders. I would def consider picking one up once I've finished my WA powder. As for foundation, the only foundation I've ever really been able to tolerate on my skin is the bareminerals powder foundation (medium is my best match, although I think it's a little dark). I've tried a variety of foundations, bb creams, tinted sunscreens etc, and the only other thing that was a good color match was Australian Gold tinted sunscreen, which looked really nice, but still had that mask-like feel as it dried down, which is my usual issue with liquid foundation-like products. Everything else I've tried looks too light or too orange. However, my struggle comes from having lots of pink in my skin plus having a very strong olive tone (lots of green in my skin), which means I need products with a high saturation of pink BUT also basically no orange/peach pigment. If you just have lots of pink but no green in your skin tone, you'll have a wider range of products to choose from. If you have the same color match issues as me but want a liquid foundation, I'd recommend Haus labs. I was impressed at the color match I got from the concealer, although in the end I still preferred the formula from my Bobbi brown color corrector (probably since it's a cream formula and haus labs is liquid).

Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Thank you so much! I've actually been lusting over the Florasis loose powder since they came out with a pink one (I think they have pink pressed ones now too). I was considering purchasing one of those pink powders, but then Pat McGrath came out with a pink powder in her blurring under eye powder (which I love!) so I had to get that. I do appreciate how non drying/dehydrating the powder is from Florasis, and I've only heard good things about their other powders. I felt a bit bad being so critical of the packaging, but I think less would have been a bit more for this specific one. And tbh my expectations were HIGH for the packaging of this brand. I'm sure I would enjoy their other packaging though.

Thank you so much - I'm so happy you are enjoying these videos. I hope you find them helpful 🥰 I love both my Yano 02 and Kiwami KK001, but I generally use them for different things. Softness: I think both have very similar softness although the Kiwami is noticeably more airy (or it at least feels less dense) and the bristles have less strength and more flow. The Yano does not feel any more rough on my face, but the goat bristles do seem to give the brush a tiny bit more stiffness that allows for a bit of buffing power (not a lot, but more than the Kiwami). This can be nice for blending in a more glowy or pigmented powder, especially in the cheek area, and this is why I prefer the Yano for highlight and blush and reserve the Kiwami for only finishing powder. Functionality: I use them both mostly for hourglass powders for finishing. However, I will generally use the Kiwami for all over powder while I use the Yano for adding a diffuse glow on just my cheeks - almost like a subtle highlight. You could try to use the Yano for all over powder, but I find that its shape lends itself best to be used on the flatter planes of the face (cheeks, forehead) rather than giving an even distribution of powder everywhere (especially in the nooks and crannies of the face). I actually end up using the Yano more often than the Kiwami since the Yano is my preferred brush for diffuse application of cheek products. I will use it when I am going for a diffuse application of blush or highlight or finishing powder on the cheeks. I usually do not gravitate towards face brushes with a pinched ferrule since I find them limited and too directional, but this one just applies cheek products so nicely. Overall, I think the Kiwami is best for laying down all over finishing powder but I personally do not prefer it for things like blush and highlight as I like to buff those two in a little bit. I love how this brush just dances over all the planes and narrow parts of the face. I really have a thing for big fluffy brushes that can still reach the smaller parts of my face. Sorry for the novel! Hope this is helpful 🥰

@@blathering. Thank you so much for your detailed reply. It's very helpful as I am considering purchasing the Yano & wondered how different they were.

Which one? The Wayne Goss 00? If so, I hope you can find one in amazing condition at a great price 💕

@@blathering. yes that one! I found one a bit overpriced, but it’ll be worth it!

@@ddeleonm09 Please let me know what you think about it💖I hope you love it!

Yes! I'm so happy I was able to find the brand. It can be hard to find good fragrance free options!

Thank you 🥰 💖

Thank you so much 🥰

I really hope Wayne Goss releases the 00 again in the future. That would be amazing! It really is a wonderful brush for my face shape.

💖

Thank you so much 🥰 These really are beautiful brushes, probably the most stunning I have in my collection. I really hope Sonia comes out with more like these. Can you imagine these but as face brushes??😍

Thank you so much 🥰
