Classic Face (Keyaki)

Sonia G Classic Face (Keyaki) ($125.00) is a small-to-medium-sized powder brush that looks more like a traditional blush brush but with a little more roundness and a more tapered edge. It is made out of dyed and undyed saikoho goat hair. The brush felt incredibly smooth, almost silky, and soft regardless of direction or motion I used it with.

It wasn't floppy but had a balanced amount of flexibility, which enabled it to pat and tap on product while also spreading and diffusing the edges of product. It worked well for applying products like highlighters, blushes, and bronzers. I think the shape is ideal for someone who likes moderate precision and prefers to sweep or gently pat (and then sweep) products on.
