Hakuhodo - makers of MAC brushes

[MissHolland]

Maybe this helps:

Its a picture from google. I dont think the brushes on the picture are washed allready

Have you looked on this blog: http://sweetmakeuptemptations.com/ this blog has helped me to make choices.

I realy like the J544 for blush. I use it for pigmented blushes (Illamasqua & Nars) For less pigmented blushes i use a Koyudo brush. Think the J210 would work for both.

I am in Tokyo for the holidays and I got to stop by the hakuhod counters I'm trying to find the stores once I'm here becuz some of the counters don't have all the brushes but I got to see thee ones I have been waiting to see on person I was like a kid in a candy store, I purchased 6 brushes got the k002, finally the j5543 a liner brush, j125r and a tapered eyeshadow birch I plan to use for concealer and a lay down brush, I will post more pics of these later, I'm usually good about posting the numbers but the lady took my receipt

I wish! they have way too many to choose from it's easier to choose once you have an idea what purpose you'll use it for. I won't be back in the states for another year but I hope to find the store it's a lil difficult to purchase because of the language barrier I dragged my boyfriend through an afternoon of metro and trains to find the counter I almost gave up until he convinced me we'd find it. For edsf I rally like my J110 it's made of goat hair and picks up enough product and blends beautifully it's very versatile.

Well it's define tilt cheaper because you don't have to pay for $9 of shipping but idk because the k002 online is listed as $72 and it cost me here 6,930¥ so I guess depending on the yen Rate

What are you going to use it for?

 

[janette9687]

Yep! I believe it is the J242G ($17). 

Thanks so much! I guessed right, ordered that one yesterday. )

No prob and good guess. Will you post a pic when it arrives? I'm curious to see a pic outside of the Hakuhodo site. I should finally post a pic of the order I made and received about a month ago, too. :eyelove:

I posted a pic comparing these two earlier in the thread the hakuhodo dupe for the 239 is much smaller in comparison but very similar

That helps a lot! I think im only going to start with 1 blush brush, probably the j5543. I have small lid space and almost non existent lids, so i always buy tiny eye brushes lol

Mostly blush, im still trying to get the teardrop Blush shape, need to slim down my face

Blush shape, need to slim down my face

the k001 and 116s ar4e smaller paddle shape blushes that can be usedfor highlighting and precise blush i have the k001 for the buse squirrel hair for my sensative dry skin, if you are oily or normal goat is best suit for that, but theyre all incredibly soft, blue squirrel picks up less pigment for a natural look as goat picks up more product.

I was kind of wishing there was a holiday set this year. I need a nice face powder brush from Hakuhodo since I'm so disappointed with my new Wayne Goss.

 

[mosha010]

I got the j110 and it's my go to blush brush. About to get another to use for edsf... I've been using the yachiyo medium for edsf mostly to highlight but I starting adding edsf to my blushes and the j110 is amazing for that. Brush snobs unite!!

What would be a good powder brush for a light application of Chantecaille HD powder?

I have the k002 for a natural application, it is made of blue squirrel bristles and is incredibly soft, but its a bit pricey, they have some blended hair ones with goat like the B509 thats on my wishlist, i liked this one because its tapered and thicker whereas the k002 is paddle shaped. The B103 is also great an soft i double this one as a bronzer brush too.

I just ordered some new Hakuhodo brushes! I got the G5557 for foundation, J104 for my Guerlain meteorites/bronzer/etc, J511 for contouring, J122 for eyeshadow on the browbone and J521 for eyelining and detail work. I'm most excited to get a new foundation brush that's larger than the Mac 130 and to get a new brush for my Guerlain meteorites. I'll let you know how I like them once they arrive.

What I want to know is why we here in the USA can't get our name on our brushes if we wanted to Japan site allow this option
