This Zoeva set caught my eye (I'm like a Magpie for anything Rose Gold) when EssieButton mentioned this set in one of her videos (a few month's ago) so I investigated Zoeva further to make sure this set fit in with my preference using synthetic and cruelty free brushes only.
Zoeva are a German company who also make cruelty free makeup. I like rose gold detail's, how many brushes you get in the set, as well as the brush holder clutch style bag. I decided to splurge on a set so I could retire older one-off brushes from ELF etc. and give my Furless PP set's a bit of a rest.
The Rose Golden Luxury Set consist's of 8 synthetic makeup brushes, they come in a cute clutch style bag detailed with Rose Gold zip as well as an outer draw string dust bag which is also nice.
My favourite's are the two eyeshadow brushes (eyeshadow application and a blending brush) and I used for foundation and blush and liked the density and quality of the brushes I used. I haven't used all of them yet namely the angled eye brush and the tapered eyeshadow brush.
Blending, Eyeshadow, Eyeliner and tapered Eyeshadow brushes
The Face brushes I used were the Foundation and Blush/Power Brushes. I thought more of the Blush/Powder brush than the Foundation brush (I was using Lioele BB cream) and it took a while to blend, but I think it was because of the product and not the brush so I'll next use the foundation brush with a liquid foundation next to see if I like the result's of the foundation brush next time. I don't contour often but now it's Spring I'll be using the angled brush with my NYC Sunny Bronzer and see how it goes and I also have a couple of other bronzer's I want to start using.
I definitely recommend this Zoeva set but if your looking for synthetic and cruelty free makeup brushes closer to home (Australia and New Zealand) that are great quality and affordable, then I recommend Furless and I've included a link above.
I'm not sure I'd splash my cash on Zoeva cruelty free makeup but if I do I'll let you know.
In the past I've tried animal (goat hair) and [for me] I thought they picked up too much product. I find synthetic brushes give me precision and pick up just the right amount of product without having to tap too much product away, which if you think about it is a waste of product.
Which brand of brushes do you use, do you have a full set of brushes by the same brand, or do you use single brushes from different brand's? Do you prefer synthetic or animal hair brushes?
