Hakuhodo - makers of MAC brushes

[Richelle83]

So far I have these:

G529-I bought this one trying to find a dupe of MAC's 163. It is not even close to a dupe other than the shape of the brush but its my favorite brush for contouring/highlighting.

J142
J146
J5522
J5529

Yachiyo Medium

Okay, nice collex! Do plan on getting more. Since I've been using hakuhodo, I don't nearly reach for my face brushes... As they are scratchy to me. Except my 187, that is still my HG foundation brush. (And my hourglass #2 brush)

I'm trying to save so I can hit up the Hakuhodo booth at IMATS in January. Too bad the don't offer discounts on their brushes, but I'll gladly hand over my money anyway!

I just placed my second order with the G5537, J501, J5521, J142, J242G and G5515! Hopefully they'll arrive faster than the last package. I'm so in love with these brushes. The J501 was expensive, but I'm really looking forward to a big powder brush that's not scratchy at all. I almost added another J544 to my order, because I like that one so much, but I think it's more fun to try different brushes first. That G5537 looks so interesting and I plan on using it with bronzer, Forever Marilyn and other powders that I just need a light dusting of. I can't wait!

I lost my list so I'm starting a new one today. LOL So far I have J5523, J142, and G5522. I'd also like a face brush and maybe another blush brush. I'll have to read all my posts here to see what I said I wanted from before.

I noticed the website empties my cart quickly. I lost a bunch of stuff from my first order that way. Now I just keep a paper list until I'm ready to order. I'm getting ready to order some face brushes (a birthday gift to myself!) so I'm also reviewing everyone's recs. I have the 2 j's on your list and love them. The G5522 is on my wish list too. Let us know what you get!

That looks like an awesome order. The J501 looks amazing. I'm looking for a powder brush too so please review once you've used it. Also let me know what you think of the G5537. I love the shape of it but don't use it much. So far I've used it to set my under eye concealer.

Thanks! I'll let you know about the J501 and G5537 Have you tried the G5537 with bronzer or highlighters?

i have the dome shape version G5538 and i love it for highlights and powder, especially if i dont want an intense highlight, i think it'll be a perfect fit for what you are intending to use it...

the most expensive hakuhodo ive ordered has been the B103 and that was $72 it hurt but its so nice for bronzer... im still trying to convince myself to order a brush in the actual hundreds! i am also in the look for a powder brush i think ima get the B509 i have dry skin so i hope that one works ! i cant wait for my J544!

Ha! I did the same thing but it works very nicely with MSF's. Definitely will get the larger version as well.

That would be great, janette! I also plan to run back through this thread in its entirety.

I tried the G5537 today for bronzer and think it didn't pickup enough product. I think it's better for highlighter as you ladies mentioned. Janette, I have my eye in the J103 for bronzer. May I ask why you chose the B series over the J for that brush? Thanks!

It's hard up front to shell out that kind of cash, but in most cases, it's totally worth it. The most I've spent for one brush was $110 for Tom Ford's bronzer brush. That hurt but that brush was meant to come home with me. It wouldn't have it any other way!
