Creating the Brushes
As a beauty blogger, product junkie and makeup artist, I’ve used countless products over the years.  I’m pretty picky when it comes to my brushes and I wanted to help create a line for my fellow makeup enthusiasts and artists.  I love being prepared with all of the necessary tools and combining the Vortex Set with the original Sedona Lace brush set will give you the ultimate brush collection.  With the Vortex Set, I wanted to create a more pro line that takes makeup application and technique to the next level.  All of the brushes are multi-purpose and versatile.  I never go to a gig without my brush belt and this line also includes one to help store the brushes and keep them within easy reach.  After months of testing and revisions, I’m happy to partner with Sedona Lace and present the new Vortex Collection.
