After treating myself to the Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set earlier this
year I fell in love with them and wanted more. Knowing which brushes I used a
lot, I looked about getting another set that included a few of the same while
also adding some new shapes to my collection. I ended up going with the Bamboo
Vol. 2 set and I love the bamboo handles and the gold detailing! The brushes
are Vegan friendly and made from Taklon bristles and the set also came with a
makeup/brush bag and a container/tube to store the brushes in if you want! I
got the set off BeautyBay, they have really quick delivery and offer a good
selection of deluxe gifts when you spend over a certain amount! Here’s what the
set includes:
103 Defined Buffer
I’ll get the biggest disappointment out of the way first; I just didn’t
think this was all that great. I used it to apply foundation and much prefer my
Silk Finish brush from the Rose Golden Brush Set! I might try using it with
cream blush next and see how it performs!
128 Cream Cheek
This has become my favourite blusher brush! I know it says cream cheek
but it’s perfect for powder blushers and I love how the angled bristles allow
me to cover the fullest part of my cheek then taper up with the thinner end of
the brush! This is really similar to the Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush from the Rose
Gold set but I prefer this one for some reason!
109 Face Paint
This is the brush that initially attracted me to this set as I had
wanted something similar to the Real Techniques Bold Metals Flat Contour brush.
I found it to be a lot smaller than I was expecting and to be honest though I’m
still using my old contouring favourite the No7 Powder Brush over this as I
find the square shape quite harsh on my face! I prefer it with a really cool
toned powder like the NYX Powder Blush in Taupe instead of more bronzy shades.
105 Highlight
Although I don’t highlight too often I thought this would be a handy
brush to have. It’s a really nice size and works well for contour as well!
142 Concealer and Buffer
This is really great for fitting into those hard to reach places like
either side of my nose! It’s one I don’t use as often as I should because it is
an extra step in my routine but I’m glad I have it! This is another double from
the set I already have too!
227 Soft Definer
Perfect for blending, I can never have enough of these as they get
dirty so quickly and I maybe don’t wash them as often as I should…
232 Classic Shader
Brilliant for packing on a bit of colour all over the lid!
317 Wing Liner
This was another brush I was happy to have a double of
as its soft but not too soft and works perfectly for me as both a liner brush
(mostly with eyeshadow) as well as an eyebrow brush! Love this one!
Have you tried any Zoeva brushes? Which would you
recommend? Personally I want the whole line as well as all of their makeup!
