You are all going to just love these new Synthetic Brushes. They are Soft, Dense, and versatile for whatever type of makeup application you are trying to achieve.


These brushes all come neatly packaged and each with its own protective sleeve  for the bristles if you choose to use them to maintain the shape of them . 





What you are Getting:


Synthetic Round Top Powder Brush

Synthetic Flat Top Powder Brush

Synthetic Angle Top Powder Brush


Midnight Lace Kabuki Brush







This synthetic brush has rounded edges which allows for makeup application and blending with no hard lines. The dense bristles apply great coverage for cream, liquid or powder products. This brush is also great for concealing large areas such as underneath the eyes and around the nose in less time.

Tip: Use this brush to help blend out harsh cheek color. The rounded edges will act as an eraser to soften and fix makeup 
application.










This synthetic angled brush is cut precisely to fit all the angles of the face such as the nose and around the mouth.The dense bristles work great for application of cream, liquid or powder products. You can also use the Angle Top Brush to apply cream blush or bronzer which can be difficult to use without the right tools. The angle of the brush and the rounded edges serve to give you precise application with effortless blending.

Tip: Use this brush to apply cheek contour color. The angled shape fits right into the hollows of the cheekbones.



When it comes to foundation the Synthetic Flat Top Powder Brush is your best friend. The dense, flat surface perfectly applies foundation - whether it be cream, liquid or powder. A flat top brush is your key to an airbrushed foundation application. Use this brush on its edge to get precise and defined cheek contour color.

Tip: For areas that need extra coverage, tap the bristles of this brush flat onto your face in a patting motion. For areas that need less coverage, use a circular, blending motion.









With the Midnight Lace Kabuki, you’ll find it difficult to find a softer brush in your collection. This kabuki is full of soft, synthetic bristles that are densely packed into this short handled brush. The bristles are cut in a perfect rounded, dome shape to ensure easy blending. This brush is well suited for foundation and powder application as well as any products that require buffing and blending such as bronzer.

Tip: Kabuki brushes go hand in hand with buffing in mineral makeup. Try dampening the bristles to make them slightly wet. You'll turn your powder based makeup into liquid for a super silky application.




With Any new Brush Set we want to make sure that we give these new Brushes a little TLC and wash them prior to use. 

These are very affordable for anyone that is looking for high quality synthetic makeup brushes.


We love feedback and love hearing from our great customers so please leave us feedback on your thought of this new set!

Neon Eyes

Now, before you read any further let me preface this look with, I know this is not a wearable to work look.  This is just me having fun with the 120 palette 2nd edition.  You can always take small snippets and input those into your daily look.  Although, I'm not sure when blue eyebrows will become fashion norm, but when they do we'll all be ready!

The first thing I did was took an orange cream shadow and put it all over the lid to use as a base for the rest of the look. 

With a #941 brush I placed the brightest orange in the palette all over the base I previously placed.

Using a frosty yellow, I placed that in the inner corner with the #904.

Using a very bright blue pencil I lined the upper lash line, the top and bottom waterline and slightly below the bottom lash line.

I then applied my mascara to one eye and while it was wet, took a shimmery blue eyeshadow and placed it all over the wet mascara to create blue lashes. 


With a concealer, I lightened my brows and while the concealer was tacky, I placed the same blue as above all over the brows.  For the rest of the face, I used an orange cream blush applied with the super versatile FB07.  With the lips, I used a peach lipstick and put some of the shimmery, frosty, yellow (the same color as on the inner corner of the eye) and put it right in the center of my lips.

I hope some of the aspects of this look were helpful for you.  That's what makes this palette so fun.  You can play and really create whatever look you could ever dream of.  So one night sit down with a stack of makeup remover cloths and have fun with the Sedona Lace products and send us your looks on facebook or twitter! We want to see what you can create!

Don't forget to go check out the amazing new Midnight Lace Synthetic brush set!

Until next time!!

Sultry Smokey Eye

Today we will be working on a look that is versatile for an evening out on the town or to go from everyday neutral to more of a smokey seductive look.


To achieve this look:



We will need the 88 Matte Palette and your favorite Brushes.



We will begin as with any look and prime the entire eye lid.



We will use this matte silver and apply it on the lid.




We will then take this shimmery silver into the crease and blend upward.





Next we will use this Matte Black shade on the outer "V" and blend




Remember that it is easier to add than to take away when it comes to color. So apply this gradually and blend to give the smokey effect.


Line the Lower lash line with Black Out Eyeliner Gel and smudge the lower lash line for more of the smokiness.

Copper Smoke

Hello everyone!! Hope you are having an amazing weekend.  Today I wanted to do a look using the gorgeous Suzanne palette from the Babe collection

I started with a burnt brown/burgundy cream shadow to help my shadows stay all day.

With a #941 I applied Copper all over the lid and brought it just slightly into the crease.


Using the #863 I blended Brown Sugar.


I took the #772 and lined my top lashline with black gel liner.  I didn't worry about the neatness of it, because I used the #941 and smudged Copper over the liner again. I, also, put some gel liner on my waterline.


Two coats of mascara and badaboom look complete.
I hope you like the look.

If you have any questions you can email me: beauty@stylefordummies.com, tweet me: @sedonalace_Leah, or you can find more information on this look and others on my personal blog: www.stylefordummies.com.

Until next time!!

Coral and Purple

Hello everyone it is hard to believe that here we are already in March. Seems like it was yesterday we were celebrating the holidays. Today we will work on a wearable coral and purple eyeshadow look.



We will be using the following colors from the 120 Pro Palette 2nd Edition


So lets grab our favorite Eyeshadow Brushes and let us begin.


We will be using this shimmery coral color on the inner 1/3 of the eye lid.



On the other half of the lid we will go in using this orange. coral color that is a little more vibrant.



We want to blend that darker coral color slightly into the lighter one so that there isn't a harsh "division" of color.





Next we will use this mate purple shade in the crease with the EB15
and blend.



Ok so now a fun tip:
** If you do not have a colored eyeliner gel handy, you can use the same eyeshadow as a liner on the water line as well**


Use any white liner as a base on the water line.


Then go in with your eyeshadow and Voila you now have a colored liner for your waterline! It works virtually with any color too.



Curl those Lashes and apply your favorite Mascara.
Also adding a bit of white eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye brightens and opens the eye a little more.
