Suesh 2015 Holiday Collection 5pc Gold & Black Brush Set

I will start sharing gift-giving ideas starting TODAY!  I will randomly post great-gift finds because Christmas is indeed very near!

Whenever I want to give gifts for my makeup loving friends, I always knew deep in my heart that we can never have enough brushes!  I personally own so many brush sets but it is always nice to receive more because....come on!  Do I need to explain myself?

And the Suesh 2015 Holiday Collection is no exception to the rule!  I clicked on their site and found nice collection of brushes for the holiday and they are priced reasonably!

Suesh 2015 Holiday Collection 5pc Gold & Black Brush Set

Php380.00

The KIT comes with 5 essential brushes to create a simple look!  The handle is black with gold ferrule and these brushes are made from Vegan Korean Taklon Hair, so I believe these brushes are perfect even for users who have sensitive skin!

AMW Reviews: Suesh 7pcs Brush Set

In my opinion, a make up artist can never have enough brushes!  I may own a couple of brush sets but I do have brushes used by me and only me!  Another set for clients and a whole lot of extra sets for make up gigs that requires me to prettify 5 and above clients and no time in between for me to clean my brushes!  

Been there, done that and I am so thankful for extra brush sets!

Suesh 7pcs Brush Set

Suesh 7pcs Brush set says ---

(sorry no description found on site)

Once you open up the faux leather brush holder,

you see 7pcs of brushes carefully wrapped individually 

(Note: Please do keep in mind that I named these brushes individually
as I do not have the exact names of it.)

Powder Brush
Pros

• Very soft even after  wash.
• No shedding.
  

Cons

• None
  

Used for

• Powder foundation, setting powder, powdered blush and bronzing powder application.
• Re-touch.
• This brush can also be used as a contouring brush by pressing the brush hairs in between your fingers forming a "fan" shape and gently apply contouring powder right below the cheek bones.

Stippling Brush
Pros

• Has a nice "bounce" and "stippling" form of application is actually possible!
• 1-2 pcs of hair shed after first wash.  Not much on usage.

Cons

• I personally like my stippling brush to be denser.

Used For

• Stippling liquid/cream foundation.
• Liquid/cream blush application.

Foundation brush

Pros

• Black synthetic hair which doesn't have the usual "stain" we get on lightly colored foundation brush even after washing.
• Soft to touch and feel.
• No shedding.

Cons

• Quite small in size so it'll take a bit longer time to finish the whole face for liquid/cream foundation application.

Used for

• Because of the "con" I prefer to use this as a cream/liquid concealer brush due to its size.
• Cream blush application.

Big Fluffy Brush

Pros

• No shedding
• Very soft and no scratchy feel.
• Multi-tasking brush.

Cons

• None.  As you can definitely work with your face with or without this brush
  

Used for

• Highlighting small areas like the brow bone, nose bridge and cheekbones.
• 1 eyeshadow application on eyes with big lid space.
• Contouring the nose.

Blending Brush
Pros

• No shedding
• Not scratchy at all!
• Has a nice density and brush is easy to control.
  

Cons

• For eyeshadow blending: size is too big to be used on people with small lid space!
  

Used for

• Blending eye shadows for people with bigger lid space.
• Contouring the nose.
• Applying correctors or concealers on specific areas like under the eyes and spots.
• Removing fall outs during eye shadow application.

Flat Eyeshadow Brush
Pros

• Very soft.
• No shedding.
• Can be used to apply dry or wet eye shadows.
• Made of synthetic bristles so this can be used on both dry or wet eye shadow application.
  

Cons

• Will not grab as much pigments as compared to flat eyeshadow brushes made from natural animal hair.

Used for

• Foiling or packing eye shadows on lids.

Liner Brush
Pros

• No shedding.
• Unique, as not all brush sets has this particular brush.

Cons

• Will be very difficult to use by first time gel liner users.
• Hair on the tip is not as pointed as I want it to be.
• The most tricky brush to wash and take care of.

Used for

• Eyeliner application.
• Draw particular shapes or pictures on Avant Garde make up.

Overall
This is an okay set to start with if you are planning to purchase one that's housed in a good size perfect for travel.  The brushes included in this set can make you easily create different makeup looks.  I only wish the blending brush isn't as huge so small-lidded individuals like myself can enjoy this set fully!  Oh, and I kinda missed having a lip brush inside the set! :)

Will I repurchase?

No.  So far, my first ever brush set from Suesh (28pcs) is still alive and kicking!  So I hope this one will last me long too!

To whom do I recommend this to?

Amateur or professionals who want to carry a smaller version of their brush set for "anytime, anywhere" touch-ups.

Where to purchase and how much?
At Suesh for Php2,400 (approx $55.80).

Speaking of girls (like me) who can never get enough of brush sets, guess what?  My dear Aunt from the US came back to the Philippines for a visit last year and look what she gifted me! :)

My very own Kirkland 2011 Brush Set!!!

The brush holder looks like a gorgeous purse!

Comes with 10 deluxe brushes 

 10pcs you say? Where's the other 2?

The other 2 face brushes 

are hidden inside this removable pouch

See? Aren't they cute?

They've been raved online and was said to be inexpensive brush set that's worth every single penny!  I am glad I own this set and I don't even know if I'll be reviewing this as Costco Kirkland creates unique Holiday Brush sets once a year!

This set will definitely be put to "personal" use :)   Thanks Aunty Rose for this!

If you're a make up artist like me, 
do you separate personal and professional brush sets?

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Pros

• very affordable
• does not shed
• does not bleed
• very professional looking
• brush hairs are soft, doesn't hurt the face
• the length of the brush is perfect for make-up application to oneself and others
• this brush set has almost everything you need
• includes a brush holder!
  

Cons

• there's not much CON but he Big Face brushes are too soft and not so dense, so it isn't easy to control

Overall

Almost anyone who's studying in a make-up school buy these brushes. Why? Because they work and they're very affordable. I find that these brushes of course cannot be compared to big brush brands like MAC, Smashbox or Shu Uemura, but for it's price, these brushes are definitely worth it. I like it that the brushes are made with care and quality. The hairs are super soft and most of the clients commented how soft the brushes are.

Tips

• label your brushes especially if you attend gigs that has more than 1 make-up artist.
  

• clean not only your brushes but also the brush holder.
  
• never put back a dirty brush on the brush holder, it will stain the brush holder (photo below) put them on separate bag or plastic so you don't end up washing all the brushes again and again

• for face brushes, since they aren't dense enough, you can use your fingers to press the hair closely together for better control
• always wash your brushes with care
• wipe your brush holder with wet wipes
  

Will I repurchase?

I don't need to, but if I need another set in the future, I wouldn't mind ordering from them again.

Where did I purchase and how much?

Suesh website for Php4,500 (approx $94.00)
for international readers: I'm not sure if they ship internationally, you can go to their site and leave them a query.

Camwhoring time for the brushes! :D

My 28pcs Suesh Brushes

I am so happy!!!! I finally got a complete brush set!!!! Well I've been buying lots of brushes individually but I am always eyeing for a good brush set that's, of course, on the budget!

Remember I told you guys about the CAS classes that I modeled for? I was so into learning as well so I was looking around what my friend is using. She was using this powder blush on my face, which by the way felt sooooo good and doesn't hurt at all, and I just can't keep my eyes off the 16pcs brush set right in front of me. I gave up and asked her. This is what she reacted when I asked "What brand is that?" She went: "It's super cheap! It's Suesh brushes" I was like, omigod! I've been lurking around the Suesh site and read a lot of good reviews about these babies, I just can't seem to order it as I am a person who likes to use my 5senses when buying stuffs. Now that I've seen them, touched them, smelled them, etc... I am SOLD!

I got home, told my hubby about it and you know what???? Things went on sooo fast and here's my 28pcs Suesh Brushes!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

Trust me, people are NOT joking when they rave about the famous Suesh brushes, they are not exaggerating, they are really WORTH IT.

Update: I've put each brush a sticker with my NAME on it. I'm a PROUD MOMMY!!!! hehehe

28pcs brush set for Php4,500 (checkout Suesh website)
