Thank you Mel for the wonderful review. I really appreciate your words and honesty. Really do appreciate it. Regarding the cost of the synthetic - the cost of the natural hair and the synthetic is the same. I assumed it would be cheaper using synthetic. Good example: Wayne Goss Brush No.19 is the same price for material and craft regardless of using natural hair or synthetic. I did try and keep the costs down as much as possible (meaning I took the hit on the margin). I'm really excited for you to see the makeup that is coming. Its been the most awful and fun (did I mention awful) stress. I'm at the final part now thankfully. Pretty much everything is nearly paid for and the production has began. Did I mention stress? I hope you like whats coming. Your opinion means more to me than you know. Thank you again Mel. You're a star xxxx
You really need to utilise that 😉 emoji Wayne.. it was made for you!! xXx 🇬🇧 😘💜💜💜
Will your line be vegan or at least cruelty free?
Wayne Goss You BOTH are 💫💫💫!! I learn so much from the two of you and Wayne, I’m thrilled to be supporting you by buying your brushes, as it is the least I can do when considering all the helpful tips you’ve shared. Have upped my makeup game for sure! So excited for the makeup and it will all be worth it in the end! Hang in there! 👏🏻😉
You did an amazing job! I expect nothing less 😉 if you’re stressed... it just means you’re working hard and that turns into beautiful products instead of the usual cut corners. You’re fabulous!!!! Thank you for everything!!
Wayne Goss you are the classiest act in the business! Can't wait for your makeup line!
I'm glad you did the cost breakdown. So many people were up in arms when they saw the price. But had they purchased 4 comparable brushes from the Sephora Pro line, or even It Cosmetics, the price would have been just slightly higher, and those are all mass produced brushes.
Thanks for this review!
So true! I used to ❤LOVE the IT Cosmetics brushes, but they've changed. Their newish white bristled brushes stain easily, shed and are inconsistent (I have 3 of the It Cosmetics Heavenly Skin Skin-smoothing Complexion Brush No 704, and they all had a different weight).
Excellent point!! Going to order tomorrow- payday 🙌🏻
Thanks so much for this thoughtful review, Mel. I don’t understand all the kerfuffle about the price of synthetic brushes vs natural hair brushes. The labor it takes to make a hand-made brush is where most of the cost is, not the material it’s made of. If they work well, they’re worth it.
A lot of peopole have the bias that everything natural is expensive and rare while anything synthetic should be less expensive. The truth is that some natural products are common and dirt cheap to make while many man-made products require special processes to make and deserve their high price. It's not as black and white as we have often been lead to believe.
Patricia West It Cosmetics brushes, MUFE, Marc Jacobs... these lines are pretty pricey and they do not come close to Wayne’s brushes. Synthetic or Natural hair... Wayne’s brushes are totally awesome.
Thank you for using the word "kerfuffle." One of my favs. :)
I love them as well: and I agree that they are not as expensive as his natural hair brushes, even based on approximation. I had trouble blending my shadow as well, but I didn’t set my base 💀 You’ll see that later 🤪 But I love the face brushes. They mimic the natural haired brushes phenomenally well! I’ll splurge on special Japanese magic fibre bristles any day!!!
You do a great job reviewing brushes! 💚
Hey Alicia! I can't wait to see your review as well!
I can’t wait! My new fave watches my OG fave.
You’re so good at reviews! One of my favs ♥️
I gotta watch your video!!!
I think just about everyone was wondering about the cost. I appreciate all the effort and work you put into researching that for us and the comparisons you showed. Awesome review!
I can't wait for his cosmetics line! He's showing over & over again that the quality is important to him. That's a brand I can confidently give 💲💲💲 to.
SO helpful. For some reason, I thought you were just going to trash them because of the price, but you killed this review. Thoughtful, thorough, fair. Thank you! 😊
I was actually scared that I wasn't going to like them because of all the ones from other brands ....SO glad they didn't disappoint
I had been so curious about these brushes and I was really hoping that they would be something that wouldn't bring down the Wayne Goss name, and be of the excellent quality that everybody expects from him. I'm glad to see that he has done a great job! I'll be picking them up thanks to you. Kisses 💖
XOXOXOX
That eye look is stunning! I watched Tati decimate that palette in a review (I like her but felt it was unnecessarily harsh) but it didn't seem like you had any issues. Anyhow, thanks for the thorough video! 💕💕
That seperates the real and amazing mua's from the so called mu guru's in my opinion
hannah roebem Agree! Mel has incredible skills.
OMG congrats on 90k!! So close to 100k 🤗. I am so happy for you, you’re doing so great. I am extremely proud of you.
THANK YOU!!!
Just want to thank you again for the review! I wasn't going to get them but after your review, I decided to go ahead and buy them. I am more than pleased that I did not miss out on getting them. They are that brilliant! I am so impressed.
I don't normally like red for an eye look, because it usually looks like you have an eye infection but THIS!!! Wow! So gorgeous and mysterious. You are so incredibly talented. Huge respect.
I appreciate how thorough your reviews are. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
Thank you so much!!!
I love Wayne Goss! He is one of my favorite people to watch along with you. I have learned so many great tips and tricks. I love how honest you are as well as genuine and kind. You have great taste in make up and I trust what you say. I trust you opinion. Thanks for you reviews.
I love it when Wayne comments on your videos Mel!! You both are class acts 💯❤️ I have his eye set and holiday brush. Payday tomorrow so I’m going to go ahead and order his synthetic line. Great review, demo and eye look 👏🏻
Your thoroughness and attention to detail is the absolute best!!!! I was on the fence with these and your review was very helpful!
You really can't go wrong with Waynes brushes, they are the best in my opinion!
Also, you did such a thorough job on this video it was very informative, thanks Mel :)
Mel, thank you for keeping me company every morning and getting ready with me!
I have to say, I absolutely love Wayne goss brushes! I am a lover of natural brushes through and through for all powder products. I do appreciate that vegans etc should be catered for though. But given the choice I would far rather natural hair for a lot of my brushes. I just feel they pick up and deposit powder far better and blend exceptionally well. Don’t get me wrong synthetic does the job and will blend ok etc. But I personally prefer natural I’m afraid. That said I absolutely love Wayne goss brushes so I will probably invest in these anyway. I have an abundance of synthetic hair brushes, so a few more won’t hurt haha.
I think this is the prettiest look I have seen to date with the Emily pallet. Thanks for all your work and research on the brushes. Now we can all make informed decisions to purchase or not.
Thank you!!
Thank you for the price breakdown! Glad the quality seems to be consistent with the natural brushes!
Absolutely no regrets purchasing this set! They have picked up product very well for me. For those who do not want to buy natural brushes, it’s nice that they have a high end synthetic version that they can purchase from Wayne Goss. Also appreciated your review of these brushes. Thank you Mel!
Yay- so excited to get your take on these. I just got my WG natural hair brushes last week- you finally convinced me lol and I’ve been loving them!!! I’m a teacher so I don’t feel comfortable doing crazy eye looks to work, but I’ve definitely been using my eyeshadow more this last week because the brushes are so fun to use! Thanks Mel! 💕
Amazing review per usual. I also think it’s so deserved that Wayne is recognizing you for all of your hard work! I mean what a wonderful honor! Congratulations to you for your continued success! Xoxox ❤️
Just received mine today. Love LOVE them. They were worth more than I paid for them. So soft and blends seemlessly. Wayne is so on point, you do not need more than this to do your face. I love the fan and pencil brush. These are so really beautiful. Not sure why anyone would think they should be priced less than natural hair. They used the same craftsmanship to produce these.
You did a really Great comparison of the brushes!!!
I Love Wayne’s brushes & #18 is one of my favorites too.. I even purchased 2 duplicates I use it so much. You did an amazing job of comparing each one and breaking down the prices.. I too thought it would be cheaper to do synthetic until I just read Wayne’s comment. I love all his brushes natural & synthetic , this was a really great review.. Thank You!!
Yeah I'm glad you did this eye look again because I looove it!
Above & beyond. Great review! Thanks! I love the brushes. I decided to go to town, treat them like they were here to serve me. ;) It was so fun, & I even washed them. I like that they are a bit stiffer so they can work w/ different types of shadows. I love the fan brush. Tried it w/ foundation & did not work for me. I didn't think it would, just wanted to try something new. Great bronzer & I like how using the edge w/ highlight & then pulling it down a little, blending etc. Very happy w/ them. It's so great to find people as excited about these things as I. My poor family can only take so much.
Yes! Finally brushes from Wayne Goss that I will be able to afford...One day, ha ha! If only I could get my hands on his natural brushes. It’s still my goal to purchase at least one Natural brush from Wayne Goss 💜
Check you out Ms. Mel ... over 90K beauties and going strong ! I’ve been around for a while and I just wanted to tell you how proud we all are of you 👏🏻 keep slayin’ sis
Thank you, Mel! You are so thorough and you are appreciated for that and all the reviews you do. I have been wanting to know how you did that eye look because it is gorgeous! ♥
i'm glad he has brought out a synthetic range. great review xx
I appreciate all of the effort to check on the price differences.
Fantastic brush research and comparisons, Mel! Thank you! BTW your emily edits eye looks so pretty. I have that palette and am always looking for new looks.
Thank you for all the effort you put into doing the cost comparisons of the brushes for us! I really appreciate it! Much love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️
I’m so glad you did this video. Wayne Goss brushes are on my wish list. I just trust him and I totally trust you😊
I love hearing your reviews on his brushes - one of these days I’m going to buy some!
I always get excited to see what earrings you're wearing😂😍
Thank you for being so thorough. Love his brushes and know he will make an excellent product no matter.
thank you!!! and I 100% agree :)
This is such a thoughtful in depth review. Thanks so much. And this eye look is my favorite on you. Stunning!! Awesome job all around with this video and have a great day!
Great review! I finally just made my purchase today! I can’t wait to try them out! Thanks Mel!
I am obsessed with her brows lol she’s talking but all I see is brows ❤️🥰
Mel thanks a lot for such a fantastic review. It is very useful, you really made a great job comparing all the prices and shapes of other similar brushes. I love all Wayne Goss natural brushes and was not very interested in these synthetics but after your review I think I am going to give them a chance for when I travel. I am always afraid that something happen to my Wayne, Sonia, Chikuhodo, etc brushes when I am traveling and this set is going to be amazing for that 😊thanks a lot! 😘😘
this pinky blush and highlight looks so pretty on you
Girl you know your stuff! I love watching your videos. So informative! Thank You!
Great job with the demo and cost breakdown, Mel! I'd buy the eye brushes but not the face brushes. I have 4 of his eye and brow brushes and love them. Wayne was one of the first people I followed on UA-cam and I'm happy he lowered the prices on his synthetic line.
Love your comparison. I just goy my first Wayne Goss brushes at Christmas and so very nice. I was curious if you would get the synthetic since you love natural bristles. I hoped you would because I was really interested in your view. I was going to ask if you saw Waynes video explaining each brush but I am sure you did. This is the third time he has left a kind comment for you right before I do. So glad two nice people support each other. Thanks for the review but now I'm going to spend $140. For Wayne Goss aand all he's taught me I don't mind.
I love to support anything Wayne does. He’s a shining star here on IG (as are you). I will add these to my collection. Thanks again for another great comparison vid ❤️
Excellent review Mel. I have my eye on these. I don't need them but I want them LOL I love Wayne's natural hair brushes and use them every day. You look gorgeous!
LOL, story of my life...I don't need it....but I WANT it lol
SO glad to hear this. Thanks for such a thorough review! Also, I love the hand model moments☺
LOL!!! thank you!!!!
I feel like an "official" UA-cam when I put things in front of my hands lol
@@melthompson2856 Haha! That is the "influencers way". That's so funny! And I'm glad that these are money well spent.
I’m hoping they list these individually soon. I don’t want the whole set. I want that fan shaped one for sure!
Thank you for the review Mel!
Have a Tremendous Thursday! ❤️😊
That 25s brush has my name all over it🤗❤️ thank you so much for doing the cost breakdown for us. Very very helpful!
MEL YOUR ALMOST AT 100K OMG !!!! YOU DESERVE MILLIONS MY LOVE !! 🎉🎉💃🏻
Thank you!!!
Thank you for all the hard work to find out if these are worth the price. Such an informative helpful video.
This is the best and most thorough review of the brushes! I was considering to get this set but am cynical because I also do prefer natural hair brushes. Thank you so much, Mel! You’re the best!!!
Thank you!!!
Hey Mel💖
I really appreciate you doing this review and cost comparison. Thank you 💖
I cannot believe you got the eyeshadow look from a purse friendly palette. I genuinely thought it was Linda Halberg! Loved the brush demo 💋 xx
Thank you!!!
Wonderful review Mel - THANK YOU! I’m using mine today for the first time and can’t wait ! I have his new eye set but love the fact that these will possibly be a bit more durable and also glad to have some backups to my loved WG brushes. Never got the 00 so REALLY excited about that one....really excited about ALL of them!
Mel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so so much for the review 🙏 Especially the comparison! I was thinking purchased it, but can’t make up my mind until I see your video, so much info but you did a wonderful job explain it👍 This is going to be my first set of Wayne Goss brushes🥰
This just makes me want to get the Wayne Goss natural hair brushes instead. I'm spoiled and need natural hair brushes for eyes. Thanks again Mel for the review you're awesome!!!!💯✌️😍💝👑
Darn, for a moment I forgot about your tooth candy....your smile is gorgeous! Wayne always makes me drool about his brushes and about him...uuugghhh
Thank you for the careful price breakdown research, Mel!!
Thank you for your review. I've been trying to purchase more high quality synthetic brushes instead of the lovely natural hair Japanese brushes. So far I've had good luck with Cozzette, so I'm really happy that WG came out with a collection. I hope in the future the line is expanded. Really helpful.
I love makeup brushes and Wayne Goss are my dream ones. I'm glad he came out with synthetics bc I've never used natural hair brushes and I'm not sure how I feel about them but I still want to try his original brushes one day. I can't afford these rn but I appreciate your review 💚
Wow, I hope Emily sees this eye look. Just beautiful!
This is a really great video, Mel! Thanks for doing so much research for us. ❤️ (Your eye look is amazing today!)
AMAZING & such a thorough review, as ALWAYS!!! Thank you for this review; and the eye tut for this look!!😍
Awesome thanks, I have Emily's palette, I can't wait to try those colours together.
I held off getting the brush set until you reviewed them. You have me sold !
Hi Mel! Thanks for the work you put into this video and review! I’m so close to purchasing this line of brushes and you definitely gave me a lot to think about. I’m new-er to your channel and love your content!! Oh also, different video, but I, too, love Colourpop’s “It’s My Pleasure” palette-so beautiful & fun to play with!!! 💖👍🏻💄
I recently found your channel and been binge watching your videos :) your channel would always come up in my feed and I always thought you were too “ edgy” for my liking :) after watching lots of videos you are the sweetest, down to earth and beautiful person ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!!
I saw the price and went 😱 but I think you make some excellent points. Such an articulate and well researched review
Thank you!!
Emily needs to see the look you created, so beautiful!
Thank you!!
Loved the video and love your eye look. I love my Wayne Goss brushes (real hair). I will try this set as well. Thank you for your diligence in getting out true information! You are the best!!!
Great review Mel! Thanks for the quality break-down and comparisons. xoxo
So glad you did this. Great review. That fan brush reminds me of the Sonia G one. Wish he sold them individually.
I appreciate that you wash the brushes before you review them. I hate it when I get a brush and wash it and it fluffs out until it’s unusable.
This video was so helpful! I think I will buy his natural hair brushes instead. I admire your techniques and appreciate your honesty.
Thank you!!
Thank you for the extensive review. I just ordered me a set.
I couldn’t wait for you to review these!!!
Love ya Mel!!!☺️☺️☺️
Thank you, Mel -- this was VERY helpful on many levels!
So happy you found some comprable synthetics to recommend. I do my best to go cruelty free with products and trust your judgement so thank you😁
This is such a great video, I'll probably pass for now on the synthetic because I don't have all Wayne natural hair brushes yet but definitely tempted by the face brushes in the set.
This is super useful. I definitely want the fan brush and the pencil brush because I can see using those for foundation and concealer as well as powder products. I know I COULD use some of my natural hair brushes for that, but I feel like I don't want to wash them as much so I baby them and use cheaper synthetic brushes for those applications.
Thank you so much Mel, I am seriously enjoying the eye brush set he made thanks to your review, I am going to look thru your videos in case I missed it but if not, could you please do a video on how you car for your natural hair brushes?
Thanks Mel... I may need to reconsider purchasing these
Mel, thank you for this awesome video. I truly admire your talent in bring us these very detailed reviews.
Okay Mel - you told me the nude lipsticks you recommended on IG and now I am ordering All Mine after seeing how great it looks on you today... X
Love the look you did!! I love Wayne Goss brushes I may have to get this set now if still in stock thank you for doing the comparisons!!😊❤️
I really like these brushes! They are so soft! But i agree that I would have liked to have a fluffier eye brush to help with the blending. I love the #18 as well. So I have been using the new synthetic brush to pack on or lay down the shadow and the the 18 to blend out. :) I used the fan to apply my foundation and it was so easy and quick!
Quite frankly, we all love Wayne!... and we love him for supporting our Mel! xXx 😉😘💜💜💜
Thanks for such a thoughtful review Mel!
Love the idea of well crafted synthetics but not so sure about the shapes and how I would use them.
Oooh. Ok I'm so excited❤️🧜 I have been wanting to order some of his brushes for soooo long!!!!
Mel today is my birthday, hopefully is going to be a great ; I’m so thankful that you r part of my life , 😘🙌🏻
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Thanks for reviewing these. I really trust your thoughts on these. 😃❤️❤️❤️
Now I’m think to buy them I just wait for your video now days and I’m so thankful for what I have
Well, Sister. You just added to my purchase list. Hahaha Seriously though, I know your fondness for natural hair. So for you to bless a synthetic, I know they're worth the money. The MAIN thing I appreciate about Wayne Goss is that he pays for these brushes out his own pocket up front. So when he sells them, it's part reimbursement and part reinvesting into replenishing his stock. When he shared this on a video I was floored. THAT is quality and integrity.
EXACTLY! he puts so much work into them....doesn't just slap his name on something and throw it out there
Hi Mel, really enjoyed your demonstration of the brushes. It looks like the large brush 25S has more flexibility and spring to it compared to the 00/Holiday Brush. I tend to reach for a smaller brush like the 02 or Air Brush for powder vs the 00, but I'm intrigued. You completely sold me on the fan brush, especially the way it buffs in product. Might you test applying foundation using the fan brush? I'm undecided on the eyeshadow brush. I'd be more interested in using it with cream shadows. I like the shape of the pencil brush though I find the 05 a bit hard on the sensitive skin around my outer eye area. Thanks again for the comprehensive review!
I love his brushes! Thank you for this review. Will be buying these 🥰
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
