ICONIC London HD Blend Base Set - 4 Super Soft Makeup Brushes for Blending

Highly recommend! Love them all!

The softest brushes I have ever seen. Just great.

My daughter asked for them as a christmas present

Well worth the money - love them and easy to clean

Really like these brushes. Foundation looks better than applying with other options.

My wife

I don't use them personally, but the better half don't stop raving on about how good they are.Update turns out these just fall apart. At £75 a go you expect some endurance from them. The large brush has clumps of bristles pulled up, definitely not worth the money.

Bought as a gift so can’t really comment

* 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).

I have to admit when I saw these I thought they were going to perform similarly to those overpriced spoon like brushes that were super popular about 13 or 14 years ago. But, I was too curious not to try them because they look so dense, soft and fluffy AND at a reasonable price point for a full set of higher-end brushes.So, I ordered them and I tried them immediately. I did a full face of makeup with them in about 15 minutes. Thus, my first note is that they apply and blend really fast, which is wonderful. But, that's not the most important thing. These babies blend like a freaking dream! They are so soft. They feel like rubbing the softest velvet on your skin as you apply your makeup. They are extremely versatile and several of the brushes can be used for multiple things (foundation, blush, contour) and they're pretty easy to wipe off between uses. They literally left my skin looking airbrushed and poreless. Every layer of blended seamlessly into and over the next and there were no streaks or caking. I would buy these 10 times over.They are wonderful set of brushes. I just wish they had included a few more brushes that were specifically for the eyes and medium sized brushes (they go from huge to small to tiny with no true medium IMO). That's not a complaint, though, because for this price, this set is amazing! I once spent almost $300 on those spoon like brushes I talked about many moons ago and I did not like them nearly as much as these (I don't even know where they are now so we see how long that lasted...). If this set is in your price range buy it and some good quality foundation and layering products and thank me later!PS: They really should come with a nice storage cup so there is a place to store them between uses as I don't see myself popping these in my purse due to the size of several.

I am pleased with the blend set - super soft makeup brushes for blending. These brushes makes makeup application so easy. The set includes a good variety of brush shapes and sizes, great for all my makeup needs. The handles are comfortable to hold.

I got these to add to my growing set of makeup brushes. These are simply beautiful and seem to be of very high quality.Pros:+The bristles are soft and dense. I haven't noticed any loosening or falling out.+The handles are just beautiful. I'm not used to solid handle bristles. I mean, most of mine have wooden or wood simulation handles and have some grip to them. These are very smooth and have the potential to be slippery but I can't knock them. They look so lovely that I haven't been able to bring myself to put them in my brush holder where the handles are hidden.+The shape of the brush heads lend themselves easily to foundation application and/or blending. I got a smooth, even finish very easily, very quickly, almost effortlessly.+The set comes with a variety of sizes. I've only used 3 so far, and plan to use the smaller ones for around the eyes.+It comes in a soft, drawstring, linen bag. I'll admit, I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with this, but I've reconsidered, and I think it will be perfect for travel.Cons: none. This is an excellent set of foundation/blending brushes and I look forward to using them long-term.

Iconic made some well... Pretty iconic brushes LOL! I am very impressed with these brushes. First off I want to talk about the styling of the brushes, you have a very beautiful high shine, Chrome like finish with the Iconic logo on each of the brushes that really stands out! The brush handles are really long and tapers, it reminds me of a stiletto heel which is all the rage still! The bristles are very soft and packed pretty densely but not to the point where the bristles will not move, they are velvety soft and can pick up product easily so you can apply it to your face and get that airbrushed look! You get a total of nine brushes so you can definitely achieve any look you are looking for with these. Overall, highly recommend!
