Brush 13 (White)

Wayne Goss Brush 13 (White) ($53.00) is a small, rounded brush that flared outward from the ferrule and then rounded in toward the edge of the brush head. This brush has always reminded me of a smaller, buffer brush with a longer handle than your typical buffing brush. The brush head is 31.65mm in length, 29.85mm in width and depth, and it uses goat hair. The brush (from end to end) had a total length of 16.50cm.

The new version seemed denser and slightly fluffier right at the edge, so it seemed to blend a smidgen more efficiently, though functionally I did not notice significant differences between the two. I actually found the original to be a little smoother against the skin, as the (new) Brush 13 was not as soft as other brushes in the set. The shape and style of this brush worked well in cream-based products like blush and contour with the flatter edge.

It had a similar shape as MAC 109 ($35), Hakuhodo J210 ($53), and Chikuhodo GSN-04 ($64).
