Hello Alicia!! your review is beyond amazing! I cannot believe how many things you did in so little time, you are incredible!!!! Since you mention that maybe you'll contact me, if you don't mind I will try to reply here :) But first of all, I am in awe by your skills, not only make-up but also how natural you are in front of a camera! funny and captivating. Thank you for the amazing review!!! 🥰 With regards to dyed and undyed saikoho goat bristles, the main difference is the thickness (or volume) of each bristle, with dyed bristles you get more thickness as the cuticle has absorbed the dye and has been altered slightly. This often allows for the dyed bristles to have more grip at the tip and more density across their length, hence move more methodically. On the other hand, the undyed bristles are going to have slightly less grip and feel more directional as they are finer. The difference is very small and it depends also on the batch of bristles, and on the dying process, not all processes are similar. Here we use a very gentle dye. So gentle that in my humble opinion it's ok to use dyed brushes with creams but the manufacturer prefers not to recommend it. White bristles will evolve as they are washed and used and undyed bristles will eventually splay out more and feel less directional, all that again also depends on how we wash them or shape them obviously, but you are right, dyed and undyed bristles are not completely the same and they won't act 100% in the same way. Some find white bristles softer within the same grade, others will prefer dyed bristles, but both are great. I am so happy that you like the Mini Base!! This brush is bundled with 3 different type of bristles, for bounciness, grip and blending capabilities, that brush may shed a bit at the beginning by the way, since the mix will take longer to stabilize and to get rid of unnecessary and weaker bristles but it was hard to find the mix that makes for a good functional brush, both with liquids and that can have enough grip on powders too! So relieved that you love it!! 🤗 Your comments are truly so good, I loved them! The reason why the Classic Face is a mix, I'll try to explain just in case, the mix is going to break the discipline of bristles of same cuticle against each other, hence make it splay a bit more. It's helpful in our case since it's just a tiny brush and we need a big surface for a more diffused application, it helps a bit. By the way, I love that you want to wear these brushes as earrings!! you have a wonderful collection of earrings so I feel very happy to be part of it!!😂 Thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us!!! ❤️
THANK YOU, SONIA!!! This is incredibly helpful to know, and you are beyond gracious in carving out time to explain. That makes sense about the dyed versus undyed. Nevertheless, I think the undyed versions work beautifully, and nice to have both versions of the same brush design. And good to know about the Mini Base, and how some shedding is expected. I will say, that this bundle mixture is sublime, and it feels softer than my Base One. This Keyaki set gets me excited for what’s to come! Congratulations again, Sonia!!!
Yes, yees, YYEEESSSS🎆🎇🌌✨🤸🏽♀️👯🏽♀️🙌🏽🎉🎊 Thank you for breaking down the size & showing these in action. I didn't need convincing simply bc it's Sonia G. She nails it with her brushes each time🎯 I bought one of her eyeshadow brush sets when they came back in stock & honestly, best decision ever made. Great review! Side note: the finish look & color of your top was just perfection 💞💕💞💕💞💕
This set is made for me. 💗🙏🏽💗 Thank you for the gorgeous demo. Your brush vids are my fav!!! THANK YOU Sonia G for your brilliant collection, it just makes all the difference 🙌🏽🙌🏼🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏿
Ugh I am SOOOOOO setting my alarm for this set! How BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍 And honestly I think the price is one of the BEST parts because with a lot of her brushes, ESPECIALLY those face brushes, they are 70+ for ONE brush. While you get a full set here for $125. And not only are they absolutely visually STUNNING, they are USEFUL....which is something many miniature brush sets are NOT ❤️✌🏽❤️
I bought this brush set because of your and Kelsee's reviews. It is SO NICE to see people use these brushes for what they are intended and also thinking out of the box and using them in ways maybe not intended, but appropriate nonetheless. I also left a comment on Sonia G's blog about your amazing brush reviews. Thank you for everything you do!
Picked up the keyaki brush set yesterday, can’t wait for them to arrive. This will be my first Sonia G set and the craftsmanship just looked so beautiful.
If the brush set is half as good as the pure joy and excitement radiating from you, then this is a “must-have” purchase! Love your energy, personality and reviews!
Alicia, Thank you so much for this extensive review of Sonia G’s Keyaki Brush Set 🥰💝💕. Just ordered a set! After having seen you for the 1st time in your September 2020 video on the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Mini-Sculpture, I was sold. You are wonderfully professional, knowledgeable and charismatic - very real and fun. The combination of Hourglass technology with the craftmanship and artistry of Sonia G. is spectacular. Love the funky frizz and nails! Thanks again.
Aaah! No, Alicia, you did not help - you brought Sonia into it! I already hit Wayne and Hakuhodo for some goodies. Now there's this fabulous set. The brushes are perfect for travel (or whenevah). That wood almost looks burled, it's so beautiful. Sonia's love for brushes is just - beyond. Every aspect is meticulously designed and executed. I need this set, that's it and I don't care. 2020 sucked bull's balls (with one huge saving grace in November, imo) and Christmas is cancelled. I want presents, dammit, and apparently that means *all* the presents. If your buddy over at Aliens of Brooklyn wants to do something just for your fanbase, you might look into a Kinkysweat fude towel. I'd buy that, it would go with my cool new hat. Wed @10:09 am, woohoo! VIctory! It was just like Christmas morning. I'm usually not one to be sitting on something waiting for it to go on sale but I was taking no chances. I've never seen Beautylish so slow. A smidgen of patience was required. Thanks again, Alicia.
So ...yes...I ordered today. I could never pass these beautiful brushes...and I got the brush holder...because new beautiful brushes need a beautiful home. I am so excited about being blue to use all my cream products...since that is my favorite right now!
I'm definitely hoping to pick these up. For Sonia G, they are actually quite affordable, and the handles are absolutely stunning. I'm also excited about the possibility of getting another jumbo blender, my favorite of her eye brushes (at least of the few I own)! Thanks for sharing them with us so quickly.
ALICIA! The only way to describe your complexion in this video is downright DELICIOUS! I can’t afford to purchase this brush set currently, but if I could you would have sold it to me! Gorgeous job as always!
I already had a cream cheek brush and the minibooster in my cart...I decided to pull the trigger and get the whole set. It feels the way the trends are going toward more and more cream products, it's good to see some fude brushes that will work with something besides powder.
I love the look you created with the brushes. I know you really like a nude lip but my goodness that Lisa Eldridge lipstick is GORGEOUS on you! I would like to gift myself those beautiful brushes but I recently bought both of the Rephr holiday sets. I probably will, however, splurge on that oh-so-pretty wood brush holder. It is stunning!!
This set looks so gorgeous! I wasn't sure about the mini size and I have to say they are smaller than I expected but I think they will end up being very useful for traveling.
So excited to see this video pop up, I already have an alarm set for Wednesday! Your brush reviews are the BEST. I cannot resist more Sonia G in my collection and it’s made such an impact seeing her on Behind The Beauty.....that interview was amazing. Can’t thank you enough!🙏🏼😍
Oh how exciting! Thank you Alicia! This set is definitely needed for me! The price is fantastic too! Love her brushes. They’re such a game changer applying powder products.
I found your channel on reddit and im so happy I did. I love your in depth reviews and personality. I dont have any Sonia g brushes, but I think ill be getting these. I love my chikohodo brushes they are incredibly soft.
Alicia, Thank you for your very thorough presentation and review! You look beautiful! I can't wait for the release, I just love Sonia G products. I hope you are enjoying your holiday season. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Hi, friend! I swear, we're besties in my head! 😂 I'm just starting to explore the wonderful world of Fude brushes & I LIVE for your reviews. I have my eye on a few individual brushes, but this set caught my eye after perusing Sonia's blog. I knew I had to start with your review & you did not disappoint! I think this is coming home & I'll definitely use your affiliate link to shop. THANK YOU for all of your fabulousness! ❤️
Alicia It was so funny when you were swirling the brushes on both sides of your face. Now that's relatable content! I love my brushes and I just "use" them without makeup from time to time.
Wich set do you think you prefer for travel? This one or the koyudo premium series? Does the sonia g one come with a pouch?? Thank youuuuu kinkysweat!!! You are the best explaining about brushes!!!🥰🥰🥰
@@catporter8417 I got her limited edition brush holder plus the brush set and two of the chikohodo Xmas brush sets ..... the tva in France is making a fortune out of me ..... those fude brands need to get an EU outlet..... it’s just Rephr who’s smart enough up till now to have a warehouse in Europe 😫
I clicked on this so fast! I’ve been on the fence about this set and I couldn’t wait for you to review. So glad you could do this before it goes for sale. Thank you as always!
I was able to purchase a set of eye and face brushes recently from Rephyr! I feel very fortunate I was able to buy these. I’m moving on to Sonia G. Brushes. I was going to buy the Sky Eye Set and then the face set. Now with this release I’m confused. I like the versatility of this set. Who knows she may add on to this set. Soooooo should I go with my original plan or get this set instead?? 🎄🎄🎄
I’m so jealous! I trying to stick to my no buy for the rest of the year and this is the first thing that I am soooo tempted. The brush holder is stunning. I just wish the handles were longer because the wood is stunning
I saw the preview on Beautylish and I knew I was gonna get it. You sealed the deal (as usual)! I have the sky set and I love it as it was my first Sonia g set.
I’ve got my alarm on for the drop. Those eye brushes are my fave from the line (I have duplicates) so may as well add another set to the collection. Also - mini eyeshadow brush set are normal subpar but I have high hopes Sonia G - she is so passionate about brushes. Quality over quantity and I can get behind that :)
I won't be able to handle the FOMO if I miss out, so I'm planning to get it. I love my current Chikuhodo, Koyudo, Hakuhodo, WG, etc but something about the Sonia G eye brushes I've been using them in every eye look for the past year that I've had them. I almost bought a backup set to the sky brushes so it just makes sense for me to get this I feel. lol
Omg. I am screaming. I want them !! I only own one small blush brush (my mistake didnt pay attention to the length) Eeek. I got gifted 3 (yes can you believe that ?) I have no channel. Wow. I cried these are so pretty. I want all of them ! She is so cute. Loved the video with her
Ohhh I like the look of these... the classic face looks perfect for those of us with dry and a little more mature skin. I use the mini cheek for powder after seeing Tara do it and I was going to get another one for when I wash it but maybe this would be even better plus... bonus brushes 😂 the jumbo blender in this set looks like a more dense version of the rephr 14 than the regular jumbo blender which I'd been hoping rephr would bring out. Think I need this 😩😂
I have a Chikuhodo foundation brush (I think T series, not the stand alone foundation brush) and its a very small flat top kabuki and I LOOOVVVEE it for foundation. And I feel that I would love Ms. G's mini base because I love a goat/synthetic blend for contour and brozer. Also the point shape on the flat shader reminds me of the small Smith arrow brush and I love that design for special shades around the inner 1/3 but I'm not crazy about the pick up compared to goat haired brushes, but I often use it because the shape is so helpful. I definitely got Sonias towel. I've been using two Manduka microfiber towels. Granted, I've had them for a long time and they work amazingly, but I kinda want them back in my workout room. I've been reading old, old segments of Sonia's blog and I am in such agreement with her approach to makeup and obviously brushes. For me this is a super useful set because I travel so much and because I like smaller brushes (and whatever justifications I need).
Knew they would be good, it's Sonia. Just needed to see handle lengths and brush head sizes. Nobody's traveling, but once again, it's Sonia. Great review.
Hi Alicia! Great review and comparisons! The size comparisons are so good and helpful. I have decided to pass on this set due to the short handle size. Thanks for getting this up so quickly in time to make an informative decision.
The mini base is reminding me of the It Cosmetics brush I love so much for foundation. Although it is much smaller, I'm feeling like using it for foundation might be awesome.
I don’t have any Sonia G brushes but I want to get into real hair brushes to see what all the fuss is about. I’m going to take the deep debt dive lol. I live in Canada so the brushes are way more expensive. And I like how the one brush is the perfect size for my hourglass palette because most of my brushes are too big. Love your videos girl🤩💞😉
I just ❤️ you..you are so amazing when it comes to brushes..the comparisons and demo were perfect..and your personality is amazing..cannot wait to get these! 🥰
Awesome!!! I love all your videos 💓💗 this look turned out beautiful! What an amazing demonstration of what these brushes can do, thank you! What do you use to wash them/how do you wash them? I’m looking forward to buying this set. 💖👌🏼👏🏼
Your look turned out so beautiful today. I love the brush set. The Velvet blush looks so pretty on you. Did you use the lip liner? Velvet Blush pulls more orange on me🤷♀️
I'm going to eventually try the Sonja G brushes. I just finally pulled the trigger on the Wayne Goss eye set. I can't wait for them to get here. Great video Beautiful 🥰
Thank you, Alicia, for another thoroughly informative video. The brushes are beautiful. Not sure yet if I want to splurge on such small brushes. But then...it's Sonia G...it'll be a game time decision.
OMG that foundation brush! It's the perfect size! I've been eyeing brushes like it from a brand called annbeauty but I've missed them the past three years. I prefer brushes I can do a full face with since I use all creams and liquids. I hope I can get this whole set it's literally perfect for me, it's everything I need, thanks Alicia & Sonia!
I have very dry skin and I prefer a brush to a sponge simple because I don't feel I waste as much product w/ them, but I can't help to wonder if this smaller brush for foundation would help prevent some of the dry look on my forward. I often feel the large, quick application from my brush doesn't do much to blur my forehead lines and that's the only place I'll just dab my sponge over to help get the base evenly applied.
Also, on top of the brushes, I am loving your eye look. It’s just that I have few items but need to get few more stuff to recreate this look and I know even if I had all items I will still not be able to create the look and will not look gorgeous as like you. Love ❤️
Alicia, please tell me these are comparable in length to the Fox hair brushes you influenced me to buy, lol. Are they similar in size to the Chikuhodo Z series contour or eye brushes? I appreciate any help you can provide. sis!
Based on the specs, it looks like these are very similar to the lengths of the Z series eye brushes and contour brush and only similar to the lengths of the Chikuhodo FO series eye brushes. SG Keyaki brushes are 123-129 mm in total length. The Z contour brush is 130 mm in total length and the Z eye brushes are 125 and 130 mm in total length. The FO brushes are 121-155 mm in total length with the handle being 110 mm long. It looks like the Keyaki brushes are designed to have similar total lengths.
WHAT!!!!! I was not expecting reviews to be out on this before LAUNCH I am so excited, and excited for you Alicia!! Thank you for creating this!! 😍🙏🏼 edit: Also, Alicia if you don't mind me asking, which Glamcor lighting set are you using and how do you like it so far? I am looking for more lighting for my tiny space/setup!
Hello Alicia!! your review is beyond amazing! I cannot believe how many things you did in so little time, you are incredible!!!! Since you mention that maybe you'll contact me, if you don't mind I will try to reply here :) But first of all, I am in awe by your skills, not only make-up but also how natural you are in front of a camera! funny and captivating.

Omg. I am screaming. I want them !! I only own one small blush brush (my mistake didnt pay attention to the length) Eeek. I got gifted 3 (yes can you believe that ?) I have no channel. Wow. I cried these are so pretty. I want all of them ! She is so cute. Loved the video with her
Ohhh I like the look of these... the classic face looks perfect for those of us with dry and a little more mature skin. I use the mini cheek for powder after seeing Tara do it and I was going to get another one for when I wash it but maybe this would be even better plus... bonus brushes 😂 the jumbo blender in this set looks like a more dense version of the rephr 14 than the regular jumbo blender which I'd been hoping rephr would bring out. Think I need this 😩😂
I have a Chikuhodo foundation brush (I think T series, not the stand alone foundation brush) and its a very small flat top kabuki and I LOOOVVVEE it for foundation. And I feel that I would love Ms. G's mini base because I love a goat/synthetic blend for contour and brozer. Also the point shape on the flat shader reminds me of the small Smith arrow brush and I love that design for special shades around the inner 1/3 but I'm not crazy about the pick up compared to goat haired brushes, but I often use it because the shape is so helpful. I definitely got Sonias towel. I've been using two Manduka microfiber towels. Granted, I've had them for a long time and they work amazingly, but I kinda want them back in my workout room. I've been reading old, old segments of Sonia's blog and I am in such agreement with her approach to makeup and obviously brushes. For me this is a super useful set because I travel so much and because I like smaller brushes (and whatever justifications I need).
These are so gorgeous!
Thanks for the demo. Looks so allround. Perfect for travel.
Another JUMBO BLENDER?! SOLD!! I love that brush
I love your brush Reviews and demonstrations ! After I watch your videos I know whitch brush I have to pick 😆
OMG can’t wait to get this set! So hope to get them!! With the cleaning cloth.... 🥳🥳🎉👍🏻
Knew they would be good, it's Sonia. Just needed to see handle lengths and brush head sizes. Nobody's traveling, but once again, it's Sonia. Great review.
Hi Alicia! Great review and comparisons! The size comparisons are so good and helpful. I have decided to pass on this set due to the short handle size. Thanks for getting this up so quickly in time to make an informative decision.
The mini base is reminding me of the It Cosmetics brush I love so much for foundation. Although it is much smaller, I'm feeling like using it for foundation might be awesome.
I don’t have any Sonia G brushes but I want to get into real hair brushes to see what all the fuss is about. I’m going to take the deep debt dive lol. I live in Canada so the brushes are way more expensive. And I like how the one brush is the perfect size for my hourglass palette because most of my brushes are too big. Love your videos girl🤩💞😉
I just ❤️ you..you are so amazing when it comes to brushes..the comparisons and demo were perfect..and your personality is amazing..cannot wait to get these! 🥰
Awesome!!! I love all your videos 💓💗 this look turned out beautiful! What an amazing demonstration of what these brushes can do, thank you!
What do you use to wash them/how do you wash them?
I’m looking forward to buying this set. 💖👌🏼👏🏼
I recently picked up a few Rephr eye brushes and really love them. I’m definitely intrigued by this set!
Your look turned out so beautiful today. I love the brush set. The Velvet blush looks so pretty on you. Did you use the lip liner? Velvet Blush pulls more orange on me🤷♀️
🙌🏼🙌🏼💖💖
Thank you ALICIA! Your the best 😃
Cant wait to get my hands on
I'm going to eventually try the Sonja G brushes. I just finally pulled the trigger on the Wayne Goss eye set. I can't wait for them to get here. Great video Beautiful 🥰
You will love them, Marlo!!
If you like the Wayne Goss brushes you will love Sonia G. They are the best, imho.
@@araceli7898 yes girl, I'm definitely going to get Sonja G too🥰
They are super cute and very functional tfs
Oh my I need this in my life. Thank you for the demo and information.
Thank you, Alicia, for another thoroughly informative video. The brushes are beautiful. Not sure yet if I want to splurge on such small brushes. But then...it's Sonia G...it'll be a game time decision.
OMG that foundation brush! It's the perfect size! I've been eyeing brushes like it from a brand called annbeauty but I've missed them the past three years. I prefer brushes I can do a full face with since I use all creams and liquids. I hope I can get this whole set it's literally perfect for me, it's everything I need, thanks Alicia & Sonia!
I've been counting down the days since she mentioned it on Behind The Beauty ❤
I’m so excited about this brush set! I only have one of her brushes because there so expensive but this I can get down with
hi hi, amazing video! would you recommend this set to us new to sonia g brush folks?
I have very dry skin and I prefer a brush to a sponge simple because I don't feel I waste as much product w/ them, but I can't help to wonder if this smaller brush for foundation would help prevent some of the dry look on my forward. I often feel the large, quick application from my brush doesn't do much to blur my forehead lines and that's the only place I'll just dab my sponge over to help get the base evenly applied.
This is so extremely helpful!! I’m so excited for Wednesday and happy they sent you this first so we can see them in action. Thank you!!!
Absolutely getting this set! I'm so excited for the mini base. I have so many cream products that I don't have a brush for!!!
Also, on top of the brushes, I am loving your eye look. It’s just that I have few items but need to get few more stuff to recreate this look and I know even if I had all items I will still not be able to create the look and will not look gorgeous as like you. Love ❤️
Ok, so that crane box thing is happening. That is bootiful! 😽
Can't wait for these brushes
Alicia, please tell me these are comparable in length to the Fox hair brushes you influenced me to buy, lol. Are they similar in size to the Chikuhodo Z series contour or eye brushes?
I appreciate any help you can provide. sis!
Based on the specs, it looks like these are very similar to the lengths of the Z series eye brushes and contour brush and only similar to the lengths of the Chikuhodo FO series eye brushes. SG Keyaki brushes are 123-129 mm in total length. The Z contour brush is 130 mm in total length and the Z eye brushes are 125 and 130 mm in total length. The FO brushes are 121-155 mm in total length with the handle being 110 mm long. It looks like the Keyaki brushes are designed to have similar total lengths.
@@teufel75 Wow, I love our beauty community we enjoy helping each other. THANK YOU, SINCERLY❤
You already got the brushes?!?! Gah!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi I love all your videos!I would like to buy a professional set but I am not sure which one between Sonia G, Scott Barnes or Wayne Goss, please help!
WHAT!!!!! I was not expecting reviews to be out on this before LAUNCH I am so excited, and excited for you Alicia!! Thank you for creating this!! 😍🙏🏼 edit: Also, Alicia if you don't mind me asking, which Glamcor lighting set are you using and how do you like it so far? I am looking for more lighting for my tiny space/setup!
