“When it comes to brushes, there are none better than those by A Design. Each of their handmade brushes are composed of only Grade A materials. All of the hairs are cut by hand to ensure that each brush is of the highest quality. My brush belt is loaded with A Design brushes for two reasons. First, they are superior to others on the market and their lay down of color is extraordinary”

“Hey this is Maxi I met you at the new york makeup show and have used your brushes since and I am in complete awe over A- Design brushes ... they simplify makeup application fitting the contours of the face ... unlike other brushes that just slap makeup on. My favorite is the pointed conceiler brush or at least thats what i use it for ... I have even had clients comment about the feel and in a time crunch i can apply conceiler in one stroke with it. I will tell everyone i encounter about these brushes!!”

“I was so glad to meet the adesign team at the Makeup Show in New York. Their brushes are soft and versatile. My favorite is the Angle Cheek Brush. If you carry highlighting and contouring powders next to each other in a palette, you can dip the brush halfway into each product and apply both perfectly in one stroke. The variety of shapes and sizes are unique and easy to work with. Whether I'm doing a photo shoot surrounded by $10 million worth of classic cars, or a video on a dirt road, the brushes satisfy my needs and my client's. They totally fit my approach to drama free makeup!”

“I am a huge fan of A-Design brushes! As a makeup artist, I've used these on myself and on clients. I also make beauty tutorials on You Tube and viewers always ask about the A-Design brushes when they see me use them. I think A-Design is a makeup artist's best-kept secret. I love the sleek black look of the brushes and they are uber soft and never shed. More need to know about these great brushes!”

“Thank you for sending me that wonderful Makeup Brush by Adesign (pointed foundation Brush). It's the best Brush in my twenty year career . And I swore by M.A.C. Brushes.”

Daniel Green

“Looking for luxurious brushes without a price tag? Look no further. A Design Brushes are amazing with the most fantastic cuts. The new pointed brush tip is all the rage (try also the pointed tip foundation brush...) and the brush feels so good in the hand. So stylish, you’ll want to pull these out of your purse every chance you get.”

“You probably haven't heard about this line but they are a pro quality line that private labels for many other dept. store brands. Check out the reviews for their brushes on their website by pro makeup artists”

“I got a few of their brushes a year ago at the makeup artist's trade show and picked up some of their new designs a couple of months ago. I love them all!...I have literally over 300 brushes, about 200 which are very high quality and my ABrushes are amongst my very favorite. This sale won't last long in fact i'm really surprised it has lasted as long as it has. Get them while you can!”

“My name is Kenny Johnson ...I recently left The Shield after 5 years on the show and now I’m opposite Holly Hunter on a new series, and a friend of yours, Ellen Vieira, used your brushes on me and they were the nicest feeling brushes I've ever felt on my face, and immediately I said what's with the brushes, these feel awesome, so she told me it was your line and I want to thank you and wonder how I can get some for not only my makeup artist but my wife ... Please let me know ... Thanks again”

“The adesign brushes are the best I have used in a long while. I especially love the large Pointed Foundation brush which blends foundations on the face expertly, especially in the more difficult facial areas around the nose and upper lip. The small Pointed Concealer brush is another great tool for blending concealer and/or eyeprimer in the corners of the eyes and eyelids.”

“My favorite thing about the adesign brushes is that they are man made materials, a very important element to consider as an alternative to using animal hair.”

“I have used my adesign brushes on the actors I work with on my show, Hannah Montana and also on Grey's Anatomy.”

“I highly recommend that every artist try the adesign brushes for themselves.”

“Mary swears by A Design brushes, her all-time favorite line. 'They are exquisite, they make me happy everyday!,' she says. She especially loves the big concealer brush with a flat top — 'It's a dream, it's awesome.'”

“As a professional artist of over 20 years I have used MANY brushes. I love all the A Design brushes for their quality, sturdy handles and perfect shape however the pointed and flat foundation kabukis and long handled brushes are the absolute best I have ever used. Foundation application has never been the same! I use half the product, spend half the time and achieve flawless results. My clients rave about the them and every artist I have turned onto using them has thanked me over and over.”

“Adesign brushes are A++! I would highly recommend them to both professional make-up artists and make-up enthusiasts alike because of their superior quality. These brushes are well made, feel amazing on the skin, and are cost effective. My personal favorites to use on my clients are the Pointed Kabuki Foundation brush and the Angled Concealer Brush. Again, I must reiterate how extremely happy I have been with my adesign brushes!”

“I've had my master set for over a year now and I’ve been in love from the day I received them. My brushes have graced the faces of many politicians, singing artists, actors, for company advertisements, videos, and tons of photo shoots.

Oh and being that I have a huge bridal clientele, my girls rave on how soft & elegant they feel. What a plus on ones wedding day to feel like a celebrity bride.

Thank you so much for producing such an awesome line of brushes ... they’re helping me stay in business.”

“I absolutely love my Master Set. I am very impressed with the exceptional quality (especially for the very affordable pricing)!! I have used much more expensive brushes in the past that did not hold up as well to the constant cleaning and am so excited with the entire collection. And, I am highly recommending them to all other makeup artists I meet.”

Kat Flynt, Atlanta Makeup Artist

“As a professional make-up artist Adesign brushes are a valuable part of my kit. The pointed foundation brush is genius! I love the flat top foundation and concealer brushes too. They are beautiful to look at and to use, and the actors I've used them on have commented on how nice they feel! I will definitely recommend them, whether you are a professional make-up artist or simply want a professional touch at home, they are exceptional value.”

“I remember when only established makeup artists with money to burn could afford high quality tools. Thank goodness someone was smart enough to design brushes that appeal to the needs and demands of a Pro artist, but are accessible and cost effective for makeup artists at every level. Adesign gets an ‘A+’ in my book.”

“I love the pointed foundation brush! It's innovative design allows me to smoothly cover large surfaces of the face, while achieving detailed results as well.”

“I'm a huge fan of adesign brushes. Why? The cut, the feel, the look. They're just gorgeous, and they work fantastic. New shapes, such as their pointed foundation brush, and pointed concealer brush are revolutionary in the makeup brush world. And they just keep adding more cool stuff.”

“There are brushes and then there are Brushes. adesign understands exactly what a professional makeup artist like myself needs. I have to touch Elizabeth Vargas's face (at 20/20) over and over again in one given day and soft brushes that are gentle are imperative. I need brushes that hold the powder and then release it without splattering everywhere, that feel like they were custom made for my hand, that do what they are designated to do; defining lips and eyes, shaping and contouring a face and grooming brows. adesign more then lives up to the task. And they come in gorgeous fashionable bags and aprons. What a plus!”

“Hello, I attended the IBS show this weekend (something I haven't done in years) and came across your line of brushes. I am a NYC based makeup artist and used your brushes for the first time today on a photoshoot for Lucky Magazine - WOW!! The three brushes I purchased are amazing and definitely beat out alot of the ‘higher-end’ brushes out there on the market.”
