Closest comparison I can make in relation to size, off the top of my head is the Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush. Here are my pics:

The brush is very soft. I have used it yet though but I can see myself reaching for this one more than the HG brush.

You should contact Tommy from http://bringblingjp.blogspot.com/. Her e-mail address is [email protected]. She did a cp for me for some Tanseido and Chikuhodo brushes and I'm pretty sure she could do the same for Hakuhodo brushes that are exclusive to Japan. If you're looking for any japanese brushes I highly recommend her. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for her to respond to e-mails (she's probably busy), but she ships quickly and is very friendly and helpful.

Thanks, hon!
my apologies I meant the G5526 is an exact dupe for the MAC 226. I love them both and I use them both. The B533bksl has the exact same shape as the G5526 and the the MAC 226 but it's smaller great for detailed work. I'd get both on a first purchase for eyes. Good purchases for face would be the
B110BKSL I think someone mentioned the J110 it's the same brush just the J110 is white goat hair it would come down to preference. I would also recommend the K022 Blush brush, the B104bksl large powder brush much much softer than Mac's 150 brush. the 210 Hakuhodo called this one a blush brush but it reminds me of the Mac 109 just better quality. The G5521 brush is great it reminds me of the brush that came out with the blond brunette and redhead collection back in "09. the ones I recommend are under $40 with the exception of the B110/J110 and the B104bksl which are 48 and 72 USD.

Are any brushes absolute must haves from Hakuhodo on first purchase?
In my first purchase I bought the pointed medium and large Yachiyos and find them really nice and precise for highlighting or blush application. They are smaller than I expected but really soft and easy to handle. I will be getting the J110 when I have the funds to invest in a good blush brush but in the meantime I am using the Yachiyo for that.

is there a 224 equivalent? how do you guy like the new line with the white goat hair? Are they nice, or should I go a step up? Not sure I know the different lines anyway. LOL


Which are better? Hakuhodo, Chikuhodo, Koyudo or any of the other Japanese lines?

I haven't used the 224, but from looking at pictures it seems like maybe the J5522, J5529 or J5533 might work - you'd want to measure the 224 and see which one is closest in size. The J5522 and J5529 are a bit tapered, but they fluff out and the end gets a bit rounder with use.

I definitely prefer the white goat hair over black goat. It's softer, and there's no chance of dye bleeding so you can use it with creams/liquids.

I've only got a few brushes from Chikuhodo/Koyudo, but on the whole I think I probably like Hakuhodo the best. Chikuhodo's grey squirrel brushes are really nice, but the black goat one I have isn't all that soft. From Koyudo I only have the red squirrel cheek brush, which has absolutely incredible hair, but the handle materials don't feel quite as sturdy or luxurious. Plus Hakuhodo is cheaper and easier to get if you live in the US.
