I just checked it out and it's a lovely brush! This looks like the perfect combination of flat and fluff to apply shadow to my lid!. I will most def be getting this!. I'm also looking to purchase the J004G and the G543. I'm a rookie compared to many of you, but it's a little overwhelming that I've spent over $400 on brushes in such a short period of time. They are soooo addictive! LOL

Has anyone heard of or tried Sonia Roselli? She has an EXCELLENT deal on a makeup brush set. On her website, it tells how she wanted to make a luxury set of brushes with Hakuhodo's quality and MAC (along with other luxury designers) shape. I am truly tempted to order a set because of the price alone, but I don't want to be stuck with inferior brushes. I absolutely LOVE the book she designed to carry her brushes in.

I use it daily, myself.
And yes, these little beauties represent a fair amount of money. What happened to me is that once I covered my needs with the best brushes money can buy, I simply lost interest in buying more.
I read here to learn more on the subject of brushes, chat and share my experience with others.
A great place to learn about Japanese brushes is http://sweetmakeuptemptations.com/
Off to enjoy that link you posted, bbethel.

I have both brushes, the Hakuhduo j004g is much softer than the MAC 188, I love it so much I got a second one.

FYI, I ordered the Sonia Roselli Makeup book without the brushes. It came up to $59 including s/h. Her brushes looked a little thin in the pics compared to Hakuhodo and MAC. Even though the brushes with the binder came to a little over $200, I didn't want to chance it and totally hate the brushes. (Her return policy states you can get a full refund if the product is unopened and unused. Not sure how I was going to feel the brushes if I couldn't open the package they were in!) Anyway, I'm excited about the case in itself. Haven't seen anything like it to carry my brushes. I'll give a review as soon as it hits my doorstep - which should be any day now!
If anyone decides to order the brushes, let me know how you enjoy them as there may still be time for me to get the early order price.

I've been obsessively researching Sonia's brushes because the set looks so amazing yet there is so little info out there. You mentioned them looking thin and I was like huh? I never noticed that. Was it the video on that link that made you say that. I just went back to the site and watched the video and ya, some looked thin and scraggly. But I kinda thought they looked like maybe they were a bit wet still like she'd washed them for the vid. Well it was driving me crazy so I just emailed her to ask if that is possibly the case. Well guess what. It was! She is going to film a new video stat! My obsession continues...
I am also obsessed with Hakuhodo so I am following this thread now. Everyone says they are so expensive but they really aren't compared to MAC. I have a quite a few. I will try to get the numbers (GRR why aren't they on the brush?!) and post some pics maybe. I have some absolute faves! Like the one that is WAY better than the MAC 217 and someone asked about a MAC 239 comparable one. Mine isn't white goat hair but I have one I feel is very comparible if not better. Need to figure out the NUMBERS!

I was looking at the brushes on the pics inside The makeup book. Many of my Hakuhodo brushes are dense and soft (except for the stripping brushes). When I'm reviewing pics online I love to see full, plush brushes. I will be thrilled to get a review from someone who is used to great quality brushes.

Hi everyone, im new on this forum, im just starting my brush collection and for now i only have 3 mac brushes(116, 217 and 168) and was planning of getting all mac brushes because thought mac had the best brushes, the softest that would last me forever, but then i started reading more and more about hakuhodo brushes.they seem to be very high quality and thats exactly what im looking for, soft, durable and high quality brushes that i wont be repacing every 2-3 years I dont want to have a big collection, maybe 15 brushes at most and i already have a wish list on hakuhodo (6 brushes)but im also looking for a good kabuki brush, at first i wanted the mac 182 but i read that its not that soft and it sheds quite a bit... So i looked at the hakuhodo kinoko black but its $120 dls.. Thats a lot, but as i said im just starting to save up but i want to make sure if its really worth it??i need it for my mac studio fix powder foundation If not would any of you please recomend any other brush for this pourpose?
