Your Sonia G "vidgeos" got me hooked on the brand. I agree with the Jumbo Base & Sheer Buffer. I have two of each so that I can use one for powders & the other for liquids /creams. I'm surprised the Inochige Pro didn't at least get an honorable mention. That's another brush that you made me buy! 😁
My beloved Inochige Pro 😮💨 It’s a classic, and I think one of Sonia’s most unique shapes. I like Classic Cheek’s versatility, but Inochige pro without a doubt is magnificent.
I knew Jumbo blender would make the cut!!!! I also love this Brush. I mostly use my Original fundamental brushes. I think I've reached for those more than anything. And then the blue set and the pro/Fusion sets. Sonia G is just my most reached for brushes. They are just so good! I could watch your brush videos all day. I've learned so much from you. Thank you!!
Eyes… Jumbo blender is the most perfect eye brush I own. She is just that girl that knows exactly what she’s doing. Even when I make an application mistake, she just gets in there and confidently takes care of it! Honestly, everything from the sky eye set is perfection for my eye shape. I also love the worker 2 (I have the lotus version), and the tiny pencil brush also from lotus. Builder 3 is what it is… reliable Mac 239-esque brush… love her!!
I’ve tried so hard to love the jumbo base. I’ve purchased and returned it twice. My biggest issue with it is that it only works well after applying foundation the first and maybe 2nd time. After that, it holds on to product too much and does not at all perform the same. I still haven’t seen a foundation brush that performs better than the NYX can’t stop won’t stop foundation brush… workhorse.. doesn’t hold on to product, blends flawlessly. I’ve also tried to love mini cheek for highlighter … maybe it’s my products but it always applies too “focused” to look natural. I love inochige for a natural highlighted look much better. Sheer buffer… I don’t apply powder foundation enough to fall in love with it but I literally waited one whole year to get my hands on it that I hang on to it for dear life 🤣 My two absolute favorite face brushes from Sonia G are the face pro (finishing powder perfection) and the inochige (it does EVERYTHING on the face flawlessly). All the other face brushes are meh to me.
The dye jobs on her brushes are fantastic. They add to the brush rather than damage it. Which I just assumed was how it should be until I bought other fude brushes and came across some where the dye really wasn’t a positive.
I swear you read my mind with this video!! I was shopping these brushes on black Friday and I decided to wait on making a purchase because I wanted your opinion on the best ones! Now I get a whole video! Thank you!❤
Thank you, Alicia for this super informative Sonia G. brush review. I have several Sonia G. brushes, (because of your previous reviews of them) and this video is teaching me so much on how to use them better…:)
Alicia Archer uploading the best video of the week?? It’s more likely than you think!! My favorite Sonia G brushes are ones you mentioned but ultimately didn’t make the cut funnily enough; Jumbo Worker, Buffer Pro, Classic Crease… I also just can’t help but mention the S2 & S3 from her Traditions Trio which I feel so lucky to have and which I use with great reverence! I so SO desperately wish she would do more collections with other natural bristle types (squirrel, fox, etc)😭
I ALMOST included a trio brush, but thought because they were limited, decided to perhaps place them on another list. Maybe most iconic, or most unique.
I have to say I am enjoying the new eye set…I rotate the brushes depending on the type of making I am using…lots of creams, liquids or powders. These are fabulous. I would need to deliberate for a while to say which one is my favorite. I also prefer brushes for foundation application
I’m glad I stumbled on your channel, Alicia! @TheMicheleWang introduced me to Sonia G. brushes. I just made my first purchase on the Beautylish website for their Spring Gift Card Event. What would be your suggestion for a one-and-done Sonia G. eyeshadow brush for hooded/smaller eyes? 🤔
Alicia, I learn about Sonia G. from you. I felt in love since my first eye set. I will definitely buy two of the fundamental classic cheek you sold me on it. I don’t like too many fan brushes that’s why I have not buy the set. The only fan brush I own from her is the ninja pro. I love that brush so much! Also last week I started using the jumbo blender, and omg it change my makeup application! I do my makeup so fast, it’s incredible! I had in my vanity for two years, I never use it because it was too big. Huge mistake, now is one of my favorites! Can you please tell me how you clean your Sonia G brushes? I am always afraid to ruined them. Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
My favorite Sonia G. brushes are the Jumbo Base and Sheer Buffer. Love the Classic cheek and worker eyeshadow brushes. My wishlist has the Inochige Pro and a second sheer buffer along with a few of the new fundamental eye brushes, the pencil, worker and builder. I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Watched your video on Bisyodo line and is the cheek brush approximately the same size as the Classic cheek or larger? it looks bigger to me. Thank you.
I finally ordered the smooth buffer and cheek pro and they were delivered this morning… to an entirely wrong address in a completely different state! I’m so disappointed!😥😒😆 Hopefully it will get fixed up 🤷♀️
Hi Alicia, I know this vijjeo is very old...but after much hemming and hawing, I finally decided to buy the Jumbo base and Sheer buffer (I don't own any Sonia G brushes). Unfortunately, it seems the Jumbo base is out of stock 😢....is this a brush that is expected to be restocked, or does this mean it's...gone, for good? If it isn't going to be coming back, could you please suggest an alternative (if you even see this comment!) Thank you so much! ❤
@@aliciaarcher Thanks a ton, Alicia! ❤️ I watched your "foundation brush" video, and then picked up the Chikuhodo T-11 from Fude Beauty ....and bcoz I didn't want to pay shipping for just 1 brush, I threw in the Chikuhodo FO-5!! (so now I pay for an extra brush + the same shipping. Sigh, sometimes i really question my decisions🤦🏻♀️) I did get 10% off though, coz I've never bought anything from them before. After you place your order, there's a little box where they ask "Tell us why you bought this", and I proudly wrote "Alicia Archer recommended it" 😎
@@aliciaarcher because I have no self control, I was looking at the Koyudu Fupa-02 original revival (wood) as well 😬 But for some reason it does not allow me to apply the code (which indicates that you get free shipping, i think??) so thankfully I ended up changing my mind 🤷🏻♀️
By your explanation on this video then, it looks like I need to have all the Sonia G sets…. Ok…. My wallet hates you but I really love you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I do have only 3 sets, I will submit my order for the rest. Thank you Alicia 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for yet another awesome video - but how hard it must have been to choose between your "children" 😂 I really want that Jumbo Concealer brush and the Fundamental brush you are mentioning, but they are sold out right now 😵💫 I appreciate the time you use to make videos like these, they are super informative and helpful 👌🏼 And of course thank you for being you! 😉

Soft Cheek, my absolute favourite! 😍 All over face powder, bronzer, blush… so smooth and natural!
I have back ups of the jumbo blender and the mini booster eye brushes and I think the Niji Pro is my favorite face brush
Mini Booster is divine!
The Jumbo Blender and Sheer Buffer are legendary! I also cannot put down the Lotus Detail for highlighter. Everyday brush for me!
Superb!!! I also love Lotus Cheek 🥰
Lotus Detail stans now is our time

We both love her dyed brushes more 😊

I learned about the SG jumbo blender from one of your videos - it’s now my favorite one&done all purpose as I used it daily 🙏🏽
I’m so happy to hear that! It’s one of Sonia’s best!
I swear you read my mind with this video!! I was shopping these brushes on black Friday and I decided to wait on making a purchase because I wanted your opinion on the best ones! Now I get a whole video! Thank you!❤
I learn so much from you, every time! My daughter and I watch you for information and guidance all the time. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼💕

V3ry nice update tfs I love the jumbo base worker 9n3 and jumbo blender
TFS! 😊
Great idea! I own all of Sonia's brushes, i'll definitely think about my favourites!
It was hard to do, and I was constantly going back and forth 😆
The video we have been waiting for!!!
Happy to deliver! 🙆🏽♀️💕
This video is exactly what I need. Thank you❤❤❤
I’m happy to hear that! Thank you for watching 🥰
All the classics. Thank you ❤
Can’t go wrong with the OG’s!
Any plan to try brushes from Singe beauty?
Probably not 😮💨 They look beautiful, however! I dig the yellow, and shapes overall for the face set.
@@aliciaarcher that's fair. Btw did you see Rephr's saibikoho "B" brush? It should be in your secret store.
Alicia, I learn about Sonia G. from you. I felt in love since my first eye set. I will definitely buy two of the fundamental classic cheek you sold me on it.

I love your brushes videos❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰
As soon as you declared the Jumbo base as your first brush to highlight I knew we were going to have the same list 😂 and we did!!
Woohoo!
How did you know I was fighting on which to get? 😊😮
🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️
I am hoping jumbo base comes back in stock sooon
Me too 😮💨
My favorite Sonia G. brushes are the Jumbo Base and Sheer Buffer. Love the Classic cheek and worker eyeshadow brushes. My wishlist has the Inochige Pro and a second sheer buffer along with a few of the new fundamental eye brushes, the pencil, worker and builder.
I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Watched your video on Bisyodo line and is the cheek brush approximately the same size as the Classic cheek or larger? it looks bigger to me.

I love that this was a struggle for you to narrow down. Too many good options!! 😆
Right!? I was saying to myself “Are you sure!?” 🤣
Omg! This must have been so hard😂
The viseart palette you used is the last cashmerie right ? ❤❤ thanks for the video love it
Yes! It’s the Cashmerie Charmeuse palette 🙆🏽♀️
I finally ordered the smooth buffer and cheek pro and they were delivered this morning… to an entirely wrong address in a completely different state! I’m so disappointed!😥😒😆 Hopefully it will get fixed up 🤷♀️
Noooooo!!!! We need them at your house pronto!
@@aliciaarcher right?! I was so looking forward to washing and drying them 😆

Hi! You can check out Sonia’s IG to get updates! I think Jumbo Base might be one of the brushes that will restock.

Will watch when I get home and see if we think alike lol
💎💎💎💎💎💎
If Sonia comes out with a mini, sheer buffer, my head might spin off 🤩
Right!? I feel like she might 👀👀👀

It was dreadful! 🤣 But helped me appreciate my ultimate loves, and had to share my thoughts on why 🙆🏽♀️

Hi! I love the sheer buffer too! It’s perfection, and for skin tints it’s amazing. Do you know if it’s limited edition? TY
