The collection includes:
A21 Setting & Bronzing Brush: "At age 21, I became much more sure of myself. My powder brush sets things in place; and I feel like the year I turned 21, my identity and confidence were set, too. I was able to look back and say, … ‘Damn, I really made my dream come true by being 100 percent myself. I really did that.’"
A24 Foundation Brush: "This is my absolute favorite brush, so I had to name it after my mom. ‘A24’ because her birthday is March 24th. My mama is my rock, she’s my foundation. Without this foundation brush, the looks I create wouldn’t be my Signature Looks. And without my mom, I wouldn’t be who I am."
A58 Cream Contour Brush: "My dad was born in ’58—sorry for aging you, Papa! I had to dedicate this brush to him because this Cream Contour Brush shapes and sculpts the face. And that’s what my dad did: He molded me into the man I am today."
A3.2 Powder Contour Brush: "My sister’s birthday is March 2nd, and I named this brush after her because I need this brush to set cream products. When I was discovering myself and my talents, my sister is the one who was validating me and, in a way, helping me to ‘set’ my identity—to feel comfortable and proud."
A22 Blush Brush: "This is my lucky brush—my 11+11 brush. Without me realizing it, this brush really took my artistry to another level. Blush can subtly transform a look, and this brush allowed me to make slight shifts in my blush technique that creates that Signature Ariel Complexion."
A14 Precision Setting Brush: "I met my best friend in 2014. She always believed that I’d be a star. I can’t live without my bestie just like I cannot complete my Signature Looks without this brush. I use this brush for almost every step of my makeup application; it really is a makeup artist’s best friend."
A19 Dual-Ended Concealer Brush "At age 19, I felt like I was living a double life. There was an internal duality: I moved to LA and was just starting to accept and love myself and my identity, but when I visited my hometown, I felt like I was concealing who I truly was."
Also includes A20 Crease Blending Brush, A11 Fluffy Blending Brush, A29 Packer Brush,
