ICONIC LONDON Luxury Makeup Brush Sets | Blend, Buff & Polish

These brushes are pretty and the shape of the handle has a great grip. But the best part is that they are very very soft on the face and since the bristles are short, the bristles stay in place. Love these brushes.

The quality of the brush is soft and perfect. Like it.

Muy bien

I’m a Master Cosmetologist. I love make up brushes! These are very thick and wide. That makes it easier to contour and blend! The handle makes it even easier to use.

Beautiful well made brushes, if the brushes were numbered corresponding to the intended purpose I would have given 5 stars.

These are gorgeous and very dense but luxuriantly soft! They are a little clunky to use but that could just be down to user error as I'm no professional makeup artist.

Very nice brushes. I wish they were numbered, so u know which to use for various applications.

* Overall Impression:-This is a beautiful, high end, high quality blending brush set that has a similar feel and blending ability to Artis brushes.-They don’t look like Artis brushes in the shape and aren’t a dupe in that way, but if you love how Artis brushes blend and apply liquid and cream products, you’ll love these. They have that same super dense feel and ability to blend and apply products in the way Artis brushes do.* Pros-what I liked and what worked well:-Excellent, high end quality brushes. I would put the quality, style and make up there with high end Artis brushes, even though the shape is different. If you love Artis brushes, you’ll love these too.-They are very much like if Artis brushes weren’t on a paddle but were shaped upward like these, they are very similar in feel and performance to the dense Artis brushes.-9 different brushes included.-Good variety of sizes for various makeup application and blending areas, the size were well chosen and well thought out. You can blend everything with this set.-Good for blending liquid, powder, cream: primer, foundation, concealer, powder, contour, highlighter, blush, bronzer, eye-shadow.-Work very well for makeup blending and exceptionally well for applying and blending cream and liquid makeup, especially foundation and concealer.-Very soft dense synthetic bristles. They have a similar density to the Artis brushes, even though they aren’t quite the same on the bristles.-Synthetic, cruelty free, vegan friendly bristles.-Unique shape vs paddle style, Artis brush shapes.-Good shapes for blending and application, some oval and some more domed and rounded.-Taupe-beige-rose gold toned synthetic bristles. Not quite a pink or rosy toned but a soft, slightly rose toned taupe beige with a hint of gray but a taupe rose tone.-Rose gold brush handles and ferrules. The rose gold isn’t a bright pink rose gold, but isn’t a standard gold tone either. It’s more of a neutral, slightly rose gold. It’s soft, not harsh and would work well with both rose gold and regular gold toned decor and items. It’s metallic vs matte in the finish but the rose gold is just not as pink as standard rose gold, a little softer and more neutral.-Storage bag included.-Perform well but also look very nice on display or on your vanity or makeup area.-Have no unpleasant odor to them.* Cons-what I didn’t like and what didn’t work well:-No issues.* Tips & Thoughts:-This is a high end set in every way, but it is very nice. It easily compares to the performance, quality and feel of Artis brushes, even in a different shape.-It could be an alternative to Artis brushes even though the shape and bristles are different. It has a similar brush density, feel and application result. The blending with these brushes is very similar to the feel, results and look you get with an Artis brush. I love Artis brushes, and I love these too. If you love Artis brushes, you’ll love these as well.-They are designed for blending more than for general makeup application. However, like Artis brushes you can still use them for makeup application. But, they perform better for blending overall.-However, this style (similar brushes like Artis Oval 7, Morphe M439) outperforms most brushes for foundation liquids and cream products. Bushes like these or in those sets and styles, apply foundation liquids and creams and concealer liquids and creams in a way no other brushes do. They apply in an effortless almost self blending, near air brushed finish, that once you try you see how different they are from other brushes. If you like Artis brushes, especially the Oval 7 or the Morphe M439 foundation brush and how they blend and apply liquid products, you’ll love these as well.-I’d suggest storing them upright (when fully dry, never damp after washing) in a brush cup or holder vs the included storage bag.-Note the brushes are tapered on the handles and won’t stand up on their own in a brush cup or holder.-Note that the Iconic brand logo text is printed on the brushes, they aren’t plain brushes.-Note that they don’t list the use for each brush on the brush, they aren’t labeled.-Be gentle when washing them. Use a gentle face wash (I like to use Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser) and try to tilt them downward during washing and drying to keep water out of the base of the bristles.-Dry them laying down on a towel (I put a dinner plate under the towel when I do this) and remove the towel to let them air dry after they’ve dried a bit (I remove the towel after about 30 minutes, so brushes don’t sit on a wet towel and take longer to dry).
