Wayne Goss The Air-Brush for Summer 2016
Wayne Goss The Air-Brush for Summer 2016
Exquisitely soft and artfully designed, Wayne Goss’s newest powder brush is the one tool you need to sculpt, buff, and bake your way to a flawless, airbrushed look. And it’s only available for a limited time.
Restocked + available now
The Details
The Air-Brush, $$35.00 (Limited Edition)
Handcrafted by artisans with blue squirrel hair, The Air-Brush feels as soft as air against the skin. The unique angled shape picks up powder products and distributes them seamlessly, leaving behind a smooth, natural finish.
I’m actually surprised this didn’t cost more with the blue squirrel hair. This came to $40USD with tax and duty but relative cheaper than some of his brushes. Wasn’t going to go for it but placed an order because of the samples they passed out, the reviews have been good.
(Want to beat this becomes permanent in 2 years time to?)
Also…… Beautylish doesn’t use Canada Post to deliver items, which is good if you’re in Canada right now. (impending strike… again)
Have a few of Wayne’s brushes which work well for my pencil brush fetish and small eyes. So far with my experience: quality is excellent. I would love to pick this one up.
Re Beautylish and their Canadian shipping.. fast and awesome..score!
Yes, they are fast my first order with the was the Holiday brush. I’ve done 3 other order with them before this and other than a delay in processing, they still ship fast. 😉
I want to get more of his eye brushes as well, I need small for hooded lids.
Mentioned the few I use below with reply to kjh. I have hooded lids as well. Aging thang.. skin fold over crease. I find I need precision brushes, but still soft enough not to crease hash lines, to deal with issue. Everyone’s hoods are different though which can change things up considerably with brush selection.
Which ones can you rec? I love WG, my fantasy son. Only have 2 WG brushes, bec I always order double, for bff and self. Gets expensive. Know she’s pretty committed to vegan brushes, so maybe I can sneak some independently. She lives an hour away. Hand rubbing and gleeful plotting. Btw, did not win the naming contest. Booooo!
I recommend all of them, lol! Seriously though, you can’t go wrong with any of the eye brushes. I use 03, 04, 06, 08, 17, 18, 19 and 23 on a regular basis. For face brushes I love 02, 11, 12, and 13.
I have two WG pencil style brushes which I use for outer corner, lower lashline, and crease work (I have to be super precise on my crease placement due to skin folding over my actual crease).
#05 a small pencil brush and the smaller of the two with finer slightly stiffer point. Great for precision on lower lash line and placing shadow in 7 shape at corner of eye.
#20 a medium sized pencil brush a titch softer gives a softer shadow placement but in a fairly precise area. Crease work typically for me. Lower lashline for smudgier smokier type look.
I also have the traditional type tapered crease brush #04. I use this to diffuse up the shadows I placed with #5 and #20.
That help? Wayner is a darling; very earnest and has a great sense of humour. I feel for him when he takes all the negativity on youtube to heart. Not a great place for sensitive humanitarian type people. Easier place for egomaniac narcissists don’t care can’t hear the bad noise I’m effin’ great people. Sort laugh.
Wayne is cool and well loved. Last week I brought WG Eye Set and #02 brush.During the Beautylish Gift Card event. Beautylish really did a great job with packaging! Neat and elegant. So far they are really nice. Maybe I’ll use my $40 gift cards to buy this brush to add to my new collection. I also brought the Benjabelle Sunflower Brush Tree. I’m sure I’ll be ordering from Beautylish again.
My first WG brush was his fan brush #15. I adore this brush and use it for blush, highlighter, bronzer, even for t-zone powder in a pinch or travellng. I use #02 regularly to set under eye concealer – even used it to apply all products in Tom Ford’s Afternooner palette just to see how it would do. It did great! Again, another multi-purpose brush. I use #13 as a true buffing brush with finishing powder. I love 00/Holiday Brush to apply bronzer (the tip allows for blush and highlighter in a pinch). I ordered 2 of this new brush due to its subtle/buildable application of complexion products and designed for buffing technique.
My recommendations for someone new to the line: fan brush #15, brush #02, and the Air-Brush (based on what I’ve seen). I’ll leave others to comment on the eye brushes.
Who did win the naming contest?
I was (pleasantly) surprised by the price point too. However, I think this brush is going to be a lot smaller than people think. I am expecting something close in size to the 02 brush, and that one also retails for $35.
Trisha from A glittery life posted a side-by-side comparison of this and WG 02.
Yeah the brush is a small blush/highlighter brush for sure, but I like small brushes for the face. 😉 The way hes was saying it was going to more expensive I was thinking in $60US range.
I was going to say the same thing ! Very nice surprise. This wasn’t on my list either. But looks like a good multitaskier. Thanks for the heads up Christine!
I’m very tempted to pick up another one… still hoping this also becomes a permanent brush.
I really do love his brushes so I picked this one up 🙂
I haven’t tried his brushes, I’ve been really anti-brush lately. Too much work!
I will have to look into these!
I took the plunge and ordered it. I love all the other Wayne Goss brushes I have.
ordered it at once as soon as i see the price, needed a small brush to apply under eye powder and a nose bridge highlighter. will be a nice one to carry around to touch up powder foundation too. love how soft his brushes are. also cheaper than the suqqu ones.
I don’t own any of Wayne Goss brushes but I did just order this one. I think it will be great as a highlighter brush also for blush and blending. I think it being a Wayne Goss brush and blue squirrel at 35. that is a good price. Hopefully it doesn’t shed and washes well.
I was torn about whether or not to order this, then realized I probably wouldn’t regret buying it but might regret not buying it. I’ve loved every WG brush I’ve received so I’ll probably love this one, too.
I ordered 2 right away. I almost wear out my multitasking brushes and I love the emphasis on cheek products blending into one and subtle bronzing. Can’t wait to see how it performs.
I love Wayne’s brushes. They are extremely high quality, do not shed or bleed. My favorites are the #2, #14 , the holiday brush( now 00) and the large eye sweep. I ordered the new one immediately because I truly expected the price to be higher. I certainly don’t need it….. But, I’m a junkie when it comes to beautiful brushes. My only regret was last Holiday brush which was $120? Crazy, unnecessary purchase. I don’t use it much.
Can anyone tell me if this brush is a dupe for the Chikuhodo x Beautylish Sakura collection cheek brush? I know that brush is grey and this is blue squirrel but that brush is suuuuper soft. Trying to talk myself out of the Air-Brush if size and shape and density is similar to the Sakura cheek brush (which I own and love).
I was literally wondering the same thing. I almost talked myself out of it since I have the Sakura cheek brush, but ultimately I figured I would regret not getting it. I’m wondering if this one has longer bristles; the brush itself looks longer so we shall see!
They’re not exact duplicates. The Chikuhodo one is not as tapered as this one, and is a bit fluffier and rounder.
i like Wayne Goss Brushes ! what i like the most is that they are extremely soft so that they do not move the skin especially for the eye brushes
Got this on the first go round and use it constantly. It was too soft to start up the summer DI cheek palette, but now that it is going: fine. I mentioned that it was back in a comment, while the b’lish coupon promo was on, almost got a second, but trying to pare down the extravagance, and it self cleans so well. If you scored a couple of b’lish coupons, this would be a great choice. Free air brush? No brainer. Really liking 14, the odd long bristle, too, for blending/drawing out eyes or highlighter. Go, Wayne. Reminds me of the tag line for old NEC stereo components: we make the high end affordable. Good products, good price points.
I’m so pleased this came back in stock, since I missed it the first time around. I ordered it today 🙂
This is probably my favourite WG brush and I own both the eye and anniversary sets. I got one out of curiosity the first time it launched then bought another two this time so I could halve one for blush, one for highlight and one for bronzer. An amazing brush for any powder products. I use it more than my Suquu cheek!
Poor Man’s Suqqu brush. Getting another one.
I love this brush..already have 2. Find it perfect for 1. highlighter, 2. Really pigmented or darker blushes 3. strategic setting powder placement I have smallish features and many ‘face’ brushes are too enormous to fit my facial contours.
I really love my Air-Brush it is extremely soft!!It is the only brush from Wayne Goss that I have.I want to purchase many more!!I really enjoy his Utube videos.Great Quality!
For a second there, I thought someone was already launching a product for Summer 2017, and I was about to lose it. But with holiday palettes launching in August now, it didn’t seem outside the realm of possibilities (just outside the realm of sanity).
Just bought it!! Cannot wait to receive it, it’s my first WG brush purchase, remember missing out the last time it came out! Could be a start to a very expensive journey… but this is priced very reasonably! Want to try his eye blending brushes and fan brush next probably.
