I couldn’t be here without you so thank you for finding me, for trusting me, and supporting our work. Every single person behind these tools is deeply honored to work for such a kind and passionate audience! They read your comments and follow the launches very closely 🙂 It helps a huge lot to know that there is so much interest and love for Japanese craftsmanship and if you stick with us, we will be taking this adventure to a whole new level in 2020 and I really, really, cannot wait.
As I recently mentioned on Instagram, the Sky Face set won’t come back until next year probably as the manufactures are going to be extremely busy this time of year, at this stage we don’t have enough visibility to know when they will arrive. Same for the Pro individuals, I don’t know when we will get them, but unfortunately not in the very near future.
The Sky Eye set will make it this year and as soon as I can confirm the launch date I’ll let you know!
There is just one new brush that I can actually launch right now. It’s this new Designer Pro. It will join the Pro series and will be available individually straight away. It was designed at the time of the Pro Face set but just recently arrived. I am going to give you all the details about this Designer Pro today, hopefully it will speak to you 🙂
I am completely obsessed with functionality and efficiency. I have been researching brushes for years and investing in the best brushes ever made but, when a brush was beautiful, it was often lacking efficiency and when a brush was efficient, it was quite ordinary -and yet quite expensive.
I want brushes to be beautiful and efficient at the same time, I’ll always do my best to create unique, but useful tools with shapes that you won’t find anywhere else. This Designer Pro shape was haunting me for quite a while and I sincerely hope you’ll love it as much as I do!!
The Designer Pro
This Designer Pro will launch on October 7 at 10am PT / 1pm ET ! The price is 46$ and will be available on Beautylish.com.
I wanted a brush that would be precise but not too sharp. Soft yet strong. Thin but not floppy. Dense, yet airy, well, it’s was all about finding the perfect balance to get the most use of out it. Make-up is art and it matters to have fun with the application, whether it is on ourselves or on others.

This Designer Pro has some nice flexibility in the upper part of the head, it moves easily but performs with lots of control, you can work just with the tip of the brush for more precision, or with the sides for a larger more diffused placement.
It is bundled with dyed saikoho goat bristles, the ferrule is oval, the shape of the brush is an almond type of style (sideways). The total length of the brush is 165 mm, the hair length 33mm, the ferrule width 11 x 15 mm.

The ferrule is curved at the top (where the arrows point in the next picture), there is a good reason for that. Some of you asked me why a few of my brushes had curved ferrules.

Sometimes brushes can be too disciplined, too smooth. When you add a little bit of wilderness into the shape, it may increase its efficiency and versatility. The curve at the top of the ferrule will act a bit like a root work on your hair, lifting the bristles and giving them more volume. It is not necessarily the case for all type of brushes and it’s not helpful in all scenarios – it will depend on the size, thickness, material of the brush, etc. The Designer Pro benefits a lot from this ferrule, the brush retains its fluffiness or airiness for longer and performs in a more airbrushed way, avoiding the harsh edges and therefore making a better job at diffusing and also with blending.
As a result, the Designer Pro can work with blush, blush toppers, highlight, sculpting, you can use it to set your under eye concealer, to reach corners and work with more precision just where you need it.
Inochige Pro vs Designer Pro
If you are familiar with the Inochige Pro, the Inochige was inspired by the art of calligraphy. This Designer Pro is inspired by the art of painting, but adapted to work on the face as a canvas. You can use sliding strokes for example, starting the application where you want the most of the pigment to be placed, or you can use any other technique that you want, you can tap, or use overlapping strokes, etc… just have fun and be gentle with the brush as you really don’t need a lot of pressure to obtain a nicely blended application.
When you hold the brush at 45 degrees with the flat side against your skin, this is the best angle if you want the most working surface of the brush to be in contact with your skin, then you can adapt that angle and the direction of your movement depending on the precision you require.
I wanted something in between the Inochige Pro and the Cheek Pro, so it’s like the baby of both. An elongated version of the Cheek Pro and you’ll see that sideways, the shape is quite similar to the Inochige.

Cheek Pro vs Designer Pro
The Cheek Pro has a flat-ish domed surface that you can use to apply and buff your application, either with a linear or a circular technique. The Designer Pro has less density, it’s more flat and tapered (sideways!) and you will achieve more precision and finesse with the application.

Classic Cheek vs Designer Pro
The Classic Cheek is thicker and denser, more determined with the placement and less precise in comparison to the Designer Pro.

Soft Cheek vs Designer Pro
Two completely different brushes but it helps to see the size of them together.

Mini Cheek vs Designer Pro
This is also to show you the size and shape difference. The Mini Cheek is much smaller but fluffs more and the tip is more domed.

Side by side picture
You have to wash the brush in order to see the true final shape, I personally don’t keep them in brush guards as they were designed to retain their shape and they better fit their purpose when bloomed, however, of course if you want to keep them in brush guards or prefer tighter shapes, it’s perfectly fine!


I hope that this brush inspires you and that you will use it and love it! If you have any questions, I will of course answer them below! Thank you again for your amazing support, I just couldn’t thank you enough, ever.

Awesome addition to your Pro Series! ❤️ Beautifully Made & So Well Thought Out .. Congratulations Sonia, Great Job! ❣️❣️
Thank you Ski, your support is sincerely appreciated, so happy you find this complements well the current collection!! lots of love to you!!
This one!
Maybe it was serendipity that the Cheek pro has been out of stock. The size of this one might be a better fit for my face. I’m looking at you, too Mini Cheek! 🙂
Hi Robin, Maybe it was 🙂 so funny!!! yes this works with more finesse, might fit better! Mini Cheek is looking at you too then 😀
Can’t wait! Love all of your brushes! The sky set is just amazing!
Thank you Doreen!! how wonderful!!! thank you for your lovely comment!
Sonia, your brushes are beautiful and show your love and respect for fude. As you plan for future designs, I would be very interested in additional brushes designed for cream and liquid face products. I’d love to see what you would do with synthetic hair brushes. Keep up the great work!
Oh my goodness! I need this. I REALLY need this. And not only because I own every other Pro brush, either.
The versatility of Sonia G brushes means I use different brushes for different applications of different products any given day. And this beauty looks like it upholds the standard the Brush Goddess has set.
*Please, Beautylish, I need pre-order-powers*
Hi Wendy… Thank you for your interest!!

Hi Shari, your enthousiasm rocks my world!! 😀 thank you so much sweetheart!! it’s fantastic to have your support and to know that you are enjoying the versatility!! Hugs!!!
Just sad that I have to wait for Sky Set next year. I’m so bummed, missed out! Sorry been very impatient. I can’t wait for Designer Pro to come, your brushes are perfection. I have them all!!! xx
Thank you Christine! I am sorry it takes so long, I wish they could do faster but I went there, tried to do some changes but it’s quite technically impossible to make it shorter… Thank you so much for your support and sweet comment!!
Sonia this is What I was waiting for. Smaller than the INOCHIGE, something like the cheek pro but more versatil. I will be adding this to my Sonia G Collection for sure !!
Hola Mariyol, pues espero que este sea el que desees, un besazo preciosa!!! y muchisimas gracias!!
I love, love, love the look of this brush. The Pro set was missing a soft cheek brush. So glad you brought this in. Can’t wait to buy it.
I own and love all of your brushes, and this one is definitely no exception! I immediately thought this would work great for under eye placement, and light buffing technique of the cheeks. This shape put me in the mind of the Wayne Goss Airbrush, mainly because of the size and flatter profile. The Designer Pro appears to be much denser and comes to a smaller point, while the Airbrush has an asymmetrical shape and is very loosely bundled for airy movement. You are both geniuses in your field and I love everything you create I am impatiently waiting for this brush to become available so I can order it straight away!
Hi Jessica, yes, a bit similar function to the WG but not quite same volume, you are right, it is denser and splays out more. Wayne is a genius and the most amazing person in every way possible! Thank you for your incredible support!!! I hope this brush will not disappoint! lots of love <3
Hi May, I hope you’ll love it and that it meets your expectations!!! thank you in advance so very much!!
I will be getting this too, love your brushes!
Thank you Maritrina!!!!
I just purchased your Pro set, so I’m very excited for this one to be released! I missed the Sky set entirely, so now I keep checking to see if it’s out.
Hi Beth, then you’ll have the entire face pro collection!!! waw thank you so much!! I hope you’ll love this new Designer! The Sky set will take a while but will come back as soon as we can, thank you for your patience, I sincerely appreciate it!
Hi sonia! Just ordered this brush and I niw own the entire face and eye pro set! I also missed out on the sky set unfortunately and I understand they can only produce so many but when I watch sooo many you tubers receiving the set in pr I cannot keep wondering why? The more you send out the less there will be for us customers to buy isn’t it? And by the time they review them it already has been sold out and lets be honest your brushes dont need any promotion as we all love your brushes! Maybe if beautylish doesn’t send so many pr packages there will be enough for everyone to buy. Bit disappointed that we have to wait soo long before the sky set comes back in stock. Love you sonia but hope you understand where I am coming from
I have been searching for the perfect blush brush for my small face. This looks like it might be the one that will make me a member of the Sonia brush community.
Hi sonia, just a little thing I noticed in the description of the designer pro. It says lengt of hsirs is 15 mm but that is only one and a half a centimetre? That doesn’t seem accurate if I look at the brush? I thought beautylish mentioned 33 mm. I thought I let you know cause it might get other people confused also
You are absolutely right Hannah, thank you for your comment and for letting me know! I was very sick with lots of fever when I published this and I missed the update of the measurements on my copy-paste! Thank you for much for letting me know, I am sincerely sorry about the confusion! I sent the right measurements to Beautylish and double checked on their site just in case I made a mistake but not on mine, oh dear… thank you again!! <3
I love your brushes and have the Face 1 brush that I use for buffing out light applications of powder. I really love the shape of the designer pro. It seems to be a similar shape to Wayne Goss’s Holiday brush that I missed last year!
So I’m happy to see this brush available as a single and will pick it up after reading more about it and seeing the comparisons you showed on here. That was really helpful!
Thanks as always for your devoted passion
in what you do!
I already know I will enjoy using this brush! Thank you for the detailed comparison, really appreciated! I do have a question, I want to try one of your fan brushes, something that would be a great workhorse for highlighting, all over powder buffing, bronzer, etc I was thinking Sculpt One but I’m curious what you’ll recommend to someone who hasn’t used one of your fan brushes before. Thanks!
Hi Sonia, I have the sky face set (and sky eye set – love them!) I am looking for a blush brush that is a combination of the soft cheek and classic cheek. density between the two. Do you recommend the cheek pro or designer pro? I ordered the cheek pro from beautylish for the GC event but now thinking if I should return for the designer pro, suggestion? Thank you!
Hi Virginia,
Thank you!!
You are thinking about a brush that splays out more than the classic cheek isn’t it? more airy ? with a more sheer or lightweight type of application? Have you tried the Cheek Pro already ? (Is it too dense for you?)
Just thinking if you want something that applies with less intensity, to direct you to the best one.
