I visited the Hakuhodo showroom in Torrance. I ended up falling in love with the S series and S series Black. I ended up leaving with three thousand dollars worth of brushes... I haven't told anyone about that!
Holy Shit!!! I want to visit there I live in Apple Valley, which is about maybe hour and half. We are going down there for Valentines day dinner. If you have an address I would appreciate it
@@susanmayfield3856 The address is on the website 2400 W Carson Street Suite 100, Torrance 90501. Just email them at info@hakuhodousa.com to make an appointment.
@carolina this is a safe space to share your splurges!!! 🤪😍 and I probably would’ve done the same. I can’t even imagine saying no when in that showroom 😍
Susan Mayfield you actually don’t need an appointment. I live in California but I’m about 4 hrs away from LA and went down to showroom on a Sunday. Didn’t have an appointment, I had so much fun touching all the brushes in person
Quick tip Alicia, if you put some clear nail polish over the names/numbers they will not fade. Overtime the white comes off and the nail polish helps it stay untouched.
Yes the right tools for the job is a joy. I paint so I agree with you from experience. You are a joy to watch. Thank you.💖 When I was in my 20 s I used to wear purple or pale blue mascaras. I’m delighted they still make those colours.
Blue mascara...throw back to my youth!! Rockin' the colored mascara..blue, purple LOVE the 80's creeping back into fashion. Looks great with the shadow and bandana!!
This is sooooo helpful. I've always been so intimidated by Japanese brushes because I just don't know enough about them. I don't mind the more blown out eye look with your right eye.
I just recently started getting into natural hair brushes. I am awaiting my orders on the Sonia G Sky Set and Mel Thompson's favorite Rephr 21 along with another concept brush....and now... I just placed a big Hakuhodo order....Nine brushes for less than the price of the Sonia G Pro Eye Set and just about the same price as WG set....so I should be set. I was on the fence about ordering the Sonia G Pro Eye Set but just could not pull the trigger as my first order has not yet arrived and I wanted to get another brand. Hakuhodo is one name that keeps popping up. In my synthetic line, I have a jar full of Sigma, another jar full of Real Technique, then yet a miscellaneous jar of Luxie, BH Cosmetics, Elf, Vansanti contour eyeshadow brush (one of my all time favs), Crown, and a few other random ones. Now keep in mind I just got back into makeup in 2017 at age 60. I am about to turn 63 in September. My collection of makeup ranges from drug store to luxury. It is my only hobby. I have a handicapped Special Needs daughter of whom I have to take care of so having the freedom most folks my age have is nonexistent. Over the last three years, I have watched various YT influencers, yourself included in the top of the list...WG, Mel Thompson, Zabrena, Emily Noel, RawKristi, Bailey B, etc, etc etc. Thank you for your videos. What a pleasure it is hearing you say "WG #4" "Hi Friends" and many of the other things said with such expression.
Great review as always! I just love your personality! 😍 I had forgotten about the price increase email from Hakuhodo and thank God, I stumbled upon a video about it on Jan 31!! A few were sold out but I got most of what I wanted. Now I'm waiting on the Wayne Goss holiday brush and Sonia G pro eye restock.
Hakuhoda brushes are worth every penny. Make sure you buy the soap. It is great for all brushes. The white hair brushes do not stain. I tried to stock up before the price increase. Now I want the highlighter brush!!
Hi! Another great video. I have a few hakuhodo brushes and I love them!! Of course! My daughter is a gymnast and I am a former gymnast. After watching some of your flexibility videos I was inspired to get my flexibility back. I want my splits back so my daughter and I started a daily flexibility commitment. In a week I see such a huge difference. Thanks for the inspo!!
Hey there!! Just recently subscribed to your channel and started watching. Love your content and personality. You, Mel Thompson and Michele Wang have quickly become my favorite youTubers. Great video and great review. I just went to the Hakuhodo site and many of the brushes are sold out :( I did order 4 of them though which I'm super excited about. Other than my Lamer Powder brush, these will be my first high end/natural brushes lol. I'm hoping the Sonia G pro set comes back in stock. I want them so bad. Anyhoo, thank you for all you do!! You're amazing!! All so I got the It's my pleasure palette because of Mel, she's such a bad influence lol. But it is an amazing palette. I also got the I Luv Sarai colourpop collab based on your review and I'm totally loving it. Anyhoo, thanks for all you. You're amazing!!
Hooray! I’m honored to be considered a favorite among Michele and Mel! Love them as well! I know, I’m sorry about those few being sold out. I didn’t expect that to happen! But that was silly of me to think so. I’m happy you are enjoying the Colourpop palettes!
Gurl gurl you are my favorite beauty influencer, love your enthusiasm and skill set on all things beautiful. I’ve ordered hair oil recommended and revised by you. Today I ordered bars of soap from your 2019 favorites. Now here you go with a comprehensive review of brushes brushes and more brushes. I love my WG number foe too. Actually since watching you my bank account has suffered a bit 🤭. Keep up the good work. Love you 🥰🥰
I’m so excited for this video for many reason: 1) it’s one of your videos which are my absolute favorite and always so informative and fun to watch! 2) I’ve been wanting to learn more about Hakuhodo brushes for a long time now and I’m so excited to see your thoughts and demo of these brushes! 3) I’ve been so excited to hear your thought on the It’s My Pleasure palette! Thank you for another amazing review!! 💕
kinkysweat yay!! I can’t wait!!! I just got an email that the Sonia G pro eye set is restocking tomorrow 🙌🏻! I always refer to your brush reviews to find my favorites. You are the one who encouraged me to get Sonia G and Wayne Goss and they have truly changed my makeup game!! And maybe some day I can add Hakuhodo to my collection too!! 💖
So nice to have some options in the brush world! Great review!!! Can’t wait to hear about Wayne Goss’s new synthetic brush set.. I am waiting for his holiday brush to come back in stock..
Thank you so much for this video! I have been on the fence about the Hakuhodo brushes, I love the Wayne Goss and Sonya G. brushes I have and I have a couple Chikihodo that are nice. You have inspired me to pick up a few Hakuhodo brushes to try.
Hakuhodo's transparency with their price increase was unbelievable. They even detailed the type of hair and series that would be most impacted. Confession: I purchased 6 Hakuhodo brushes in 2018 and use them frequently. I sorta, kinda lost my mind and picked up an undisclosed number of brushes.
I can’t stop looking at this eye look! I just ordered 2 of these palettes and that purple liner. Love these purple shades!! I’m so glad the prices on these brushes didn’t go up too much. I’ll definitely buy some. The orange handle brushes went up ridiculously 😩. Love how you described the brushes and demonstrated them in action 😍 xoxo 💜
I love Hakuhodo brushes 😍. I think they have one of the best quality goat brushes and chikuhodo has the best quality squirrel brushes in my opinion that is. Let’s buy more brushes!! I literally have lists of brushes I need to buy from different brands hahaha. I’m such a hoarder. Love ya 🥰
kinkysweat any of the face brushes from the Z series (grey squirrel) but especially Z1!! Just divine!!! The Takumi series (saikoho goat) is also great 😆
I’m so tempted to get these brushes...especially the highlighter brush😩😩😩BUT Wayne is calling my name...so I’ll have to wait. This eye look is freaking amazing....and that blue mascara🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love Hakuhodo brushes... omg. I only have their eye brushes, which I want more. Next purchase I want some face brushes! I absolutely love watching other people's hauls specially when they're trying them for the first time. Makes me giggle inside cause I'm like now they know the goodness! Loved your commentary too haha.. perfect :)
I need to check those out! I received a few of my Sonia G brushes today and i literally squealed (in what little voice I have)! I was so exhausted after my stretching that I haven't tried them out yet, but I know I'm going to LOOOOOOVE them! Oh yes... KL polish is going out of business. No close date as of yet, so maybe stock up on your favorite colors now. Several are already sold out.
WAAAAAAAT!? 💀 I was not expecting that news! And yay to stretching!!! I’m happy that you’re moving and grooving. And yes, I know that squeal voice very well! And that squeal feel all around!
I am so digging your Hakuhodo haul, my heart actually skipped a beat when I saw how that highlighter brush was dancing around in the palm of your hand lol. I got a chance to dive in to these brushes at the IMATS event last year in my city and I have been a Believer ever since...great video 😊🖤🖤
Yes the addiction is real!! I have been to the Hakuhodo website but was lost in love looking at the brushes. I will be purchasing, thank you for the recommendations.
Which one do you prefer, Hakuhodo, Wayne Goss or Sonia G? . Also that is the only thing that dissapointed me from the Sonia G pro face set, there was no box or bag or nothing just wrap in the plastic baggie and the beautylish black paper, at that price point I expected better presentation 🤷♀️
Maritza J.A - I agree about the presentation. At least Wayne’s sets are in the cylinder. I like Sonia’s face brushes but Wayne’s eye brushes I find easier to get a light application and blend. But since I am a novice with eye makeup that might be why.
Ooooo that’s hard. I love LOVE all my brushes, and I can answer that after a few days. Maybe a week or two 🤪 As far as the presentation: yes it would’ve been nice to get a bag or cylinder case. The silver lining is that I have less stuff to keep because I have a tendency to clutter.
@Spectroscopy you’re right in thinking that, because Wayne’s brushes definitely deliver a more airbrushed finish. Sonia’s brushes pick up a touch more product.
Oksana Argueta I agree. I’ve tried a few brands and imo the Dr Bronners baby soap liquid is the best. I also put a small amount of Aloe Vera on my squirrel hair brushes when they are nearly dry. Let the Aloe dry and then rub the brush across your hand. It seems to condition the hairs without affecting performance. 🌸
I'm not going to lie. I tend to buy no name, but good quality brushes for most of my makeup doing but, I will invest in blending and powder brushes. I'm happy you picked up the J142. It is my favorite eyeshadow brush and it just blends with ease. I am debating on purchasing either a Hokuhodo or Chkuhodo powder and foundation brush. I am getting an idea ready for a vanity, and would love to have some brushes for display, durability, and ease of use.
I'm planning to buy some hakuhodo brushes!!! Can't wait till the restock j series!!! I live in New Jersey! We are so close :) I day dream about having out with you!! Going to makeup shopping together!!💜
I was so excited when I saw you posted this. I love their brushes and since you're such a brush enthusiast I hoped you would as well. When it comes to the Wayne Goss vs. the Hakuhodo I think they are essentially the same brushes. However, because they're bundled by hand the amount of taper may vary with each brush. For instance I have like 6 of the J142 (I know excessive lol) and of those there are ones that are rounder than the Goss #17, some that are more tapered than the Goss #17, and some that look pretty much identical. I think that's just kind of what happens but I'm cool with it because no matter how tapered they are, they still work beautifully. Also, I just bought that palette and I'm waiting for it to be shipped. I've never tried colourpop eye shadows before but Mel gave such a glowing review that I had to give it a go. Now, after seeing your eye look, I'm super excited to play with it. I just wish I had bought the colored mascara as well. That looks absolutely beautiful with that look. So fun.
Thank you for outlining the comparisons! And 6 is not excessive in my book! 🤣🤪 I definitely want to purchase duplicates. And yes the Colourpop mascaras blew me away!
I love the Hakuhodo brush cleansing bar. I know it's just a glycerin soap, but I like it. Dear Husband took me to Kyoto for my birthday last fall and I visited the showroom there. It was so beautiful.
I actually wasn't crazy about the goat hair eye brushes I got from Hakuhodo. Compared to my Wayne Goss brushes I found them to be too scratchy, thought the squirrel hair brushes are very nice. And of course, my Sonia G are the cream of the crop. :) Those brushes just make me happy inside.
Do you think the texture changed as you washed them? I still want to invest in some squirrel brushes for sure. The highlight tapered was unlike anything I have ever felt.
Love reading the comments. I've been debating who to buy eye brushes from! Sonia G I can only find the sky set .. would this be the best in your opinion or should I hold out for her others to be restocked? I will be using them with my pat mcgrath Pallettes. I have had It, bobbi brown, Mac and tom fords original brushes but need to update my collection.
@@gingerphoenix805 yes, you can learn so much from the comments! Plus, you get my opinion on the brushes after having used them for several years. I have mostly Wayne Goss and Sonia G brushes, with a fair sprinkling of Hakuhodo and rephr. I'd put Hakuhodo at the lowest tier (though still very good brushes, save a few scratchy goat hair brushes I eventually gave away. They've also got a HUGE selection and are a.ways in stock. Personally I'd stick with squirrel hair or squirrel hair blends from this brand). I think Rephr and Wayne Goss are about neck and neck for second place and actually very similar to each other, though I've got a slight preference for WG. To me they're the work horses of my brush collection. They're seriously solid, reliable brushes- mostly goat hair, hard wearing, soft, familiar and effective shapes and reasonably priced by fude standards. They look just about as good today as they did when I bought them, and I use them every day. And then there's Sonia G! Her line to me is just so exciting. She's got so many innovative shapes, some that I've never seen before. The hair quality is next level and the softness is unreal. And the whole package just screams luxury. They're such a satisfying weight and the handles are beautiful.... they're also the priciest! If I was doing it all over again, I'd stock up on my basics with Wayne Goss (or try and catch a Rephr sale) and then splurge on some of those special and unique Sonia G brushes. That's where Sonia G really shines. The basic shapes can be skipped to save a few bucks, though. Plus, her line is very hit and miss as far a being in stock, so you probably couldn't buy all her brushes even if you wanted to. Sign up for Beautylish notifications and be quick, because they sell out fast. Good luck!
@@lilyt5855 thank you so much for your reply. I just purchased numerous wayne goss off beautylish and signed up for emails as you suggested. I like that you have had yours for years and they stand the test of time. I love brushes that last and work well.I will buy some of sonias when they restock the pro collection. I like the red handles better I think. For some reason spontaneous purchasing on eBay.. I decided to buy some of tom fords natural hair brushes since they're discontinued and won't be able to find them soon, though at the price I paid for his I could have bought sonias sky set and more lol. I figured I will hold off on hers for now but definitely soon I will have to try them to! Thanks for the helpful insights!
Love your excitement in your videos! It's contagious:D I discovered Japanese makeup brushes last year and bought some Hakuhodo eye brushes during that time. They have made eyeshadow application so much more fun and more blended for me at least. I just got some of their face brushes and they are incredibly soft: B/J104, B/J531, S5521A & the G6070. I am obsessed with fude now even though I can only get some every couple months cuz that ish is HEXPENSIVE lolololol
I'm going to CA this summer and neeed to stop by their showroom! I got a few of their eye brushes a few years ago and need to do another purchase. Too bad I missed buying some before the price increase but I still will make the plunge again eventually haha.
I may have over 100 Hakuhodo brushes. They last a long time with great care. I have had my Hakuhodo brushes for years. WG brushes are similar, but if I had to choose between WG and Hakuhodo, Wayne wins. The crease brushes between Hakuhodo and WG are practically identical but I like his specialty brushes better.. such as Air Brush and I like his eyebrow brushes better. I like different brushes and I have a few Hakuhodo Grey Squirrel brushes that are amongst my favorites... kinda like that goat hair eye brush that looks like a mini face Brush. If you turn the Brush backward you can get an exceptional lower eye blend. It works OK with the goat hair Brush but not nearly as awesome as grey squirrel Brush. I loved your video. You always make me smile.
Thank you, Annette! And I appreciate your insight. Despite how many brushes I’ve purchased, I still feel very new to the game. And any input is extremely helpful!
Hakuhodo makes beautiful brushes, they are addicting! If you ever go to IMATs they always have a booth. There you can see and touch & feel (dangerous) them.
I just received the Wayne Goss Synthetics. Please do a review of them soon. Love your channel! Purchased the Butter Creme by Qhemet Biologics. This kinky/curly girl is happy! Thanks for the recommendation. You Rock! ❤️
I was not able to make a purchase before then...I hope the prices have not increased that much...it will be summer before I have it in the budget...I have splurged on Sonia G and Wayne Goss...so I am OK
The price increases were for squirrel hair, long horse hair, the S100 series, and the black S100 series, and Kokutan. The goat and synthetic prices were not affected.
Also, how does the H3874 compare to the Mac 239 brush in size and shape? The 239 is my favorite shader brush, but I don’t like the new synthetic version and I’ve been looking for a new shader brush!
OMG Yesss! I havent gotten through the video yet but I am dying to know if you found a hakuhodo brush or ANY brush thats a dupe for the MAC 224 eye brush :( It's SO big and fluffy and perfect for me. But sadly they changed to synthetic and it doesnt fluff. I don't like synthetic of those types of brushes. They never work for me D: Ok, back to the video!!!!!
I was going to ask the same question...The original MAC 224 is one of my HG eye brushes, b/c of the shape, size, & airiness. However, I've ALWAYS found it to be scratchy/pokey, no matter how I condition it. I'm trying to find a better quality dupe. That's the 1 brush I would pay crazy (Suqqu/Surratt/etc.) money to buy.
Hi, totally random but, what shade do you use in the Charlotte Tilbury finishing powder? How do you like it as well? We’re shade sisters and you’re my go to for recommendations! Thanks
Hello beautiful!I'm new to japanese brushes and I'm trying to decide between hakuhodo's and wayne's goat eye brushes.I've heard that they are practically the same,since there is a rumor that wayne's brushes are made by hakuhodo,but I want to be sure before buying something that expensive from overseas(I'm from europe).So,do you notice any differences in terms of softness/stiffness/colour payoff etc?Thanks in advance!
Would you do a comparison of your favourite brush for each type of application now that you have Rephr, Hakuhodo, Wayne Goss, Sonia G and more? I know many youtubers are gifted a lot of brushes but for everyone else it's not possible for us to buy everything from multiple brands for the same use.
Yayyyyy you bought it’s my pleasure. Ughhhh trying not to pick up my phone to purchase 😩 I saw Mel’s review too and wow she sold me. How does colourpop do it???
I have some of the rephr ones on order. How do you find them compared to Hakuhodo? I kind of want to get some of those too. Do you have any opinions on which eye brushes seem to be dupes for eachother now that you have some of both?
I’m am so sorry! I totally forgot to include it: will make that edit. This is Deborah Lippmann “I like to Move it”! It’s from their Holiday 2018 Party Animal Set!
Girl, what are you doing to me? I just placed an order for some of the Sonia G brushes, thank the gods her pro face set is backorder ( i am waiting to restock the set so I can buy it) I do have one brush from Hakuhodo though, it is amazing.
LOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! I actually went to Nordstrom yesterday ready to purchase the Nars Mosiac blush aaaaaaaand, that’s a no for me. 😒 It’s not meant for WOC... it’s super light! I was so hyped about it! I’ve been eyeballing since they announced the release. For reference, I’m a Mac NC47... if you’re not sure what shade is that, my skin color is similar to MakeupShayla. I think it’s probably the formula... too difficulty to pick up. If you would compare... what’s the difference between Wayne Goss, Sonia G and Hakuhodo?
kinkysweat I didn’t use a brush... I just swatched it with my finger. It barely showed on my skin. Which is weird cause Nars and Becca are my favorite blushes because of how pigmented they are! It’s such a beautiful glowy blush! 😫
Ps: where did you get these brushes? Website? Or is it mentioned and I missed it?😂which could be the case.. we lost power yesterday and are temporarily displaced😞
Can you do a comparison of how to work with the Wayne Goss eye brushes vs. the Sonia? I already commented on another post about the difference. I can’t tell whether I am just using the wrong brushes to do certain things with Sonia since I have a little struggle with the blending. I love her face brushes endlessly. In fact maybe just a video on what shape brushes are used to do what on the eyes?
kinkysweat - yes. Every time I put it down it lays down very strong and I can’t get it blended. I may be using the wrong brush shape. I switched to a different shape but it was also Wayne’s so I don’t know whether it is the brand or the shape causing the problem. Mainly me causing the problem though! 😂😂
I have decided that your brush videos are actual porn. XXX, hardcore, brush PORN!!! And I never watch brush vids cuz, well, tbh I'm cruelty free so I wont ever be able to get any of those brushes anyway so it makes me a little sad, I gotta be honest, that i wont ever get to enjoy the bliss that is a Sonia G, Wayne Goss, or Hakuhodo brush. But YOUR videos!!! Your videos i just love and i dgaf that I wont ever buy the brushes!!!!!!!
Amy!!!! I heart you so 🌟 I’m posting Wayne’s Synthetics tomorrow. I know it’s expensive because he’s selling the whole set, but hopefully he’ll sell them individually. I can tell you right now if you split the price, his synthetic tapered powder brush is still cheaper than his natural hair 00.
Amy P and Dirty too Yep...I felt like I was watching Hakuhodo Porn too. I was slightly aroused with the presentation of EACH brush. I ordered 9 brushes the week before Christmas...$249!! Yep that’s what I spent. 🤦🏽♀️. I couldn’t help it.
Starting from both lines are: Natural hair Made in Kumano, Japón Consider as high end Which brand you can recommend more? Chikuhodo, Sonia G or the new Rēphr? And why?
I think it all comes down to design. Rephr I think is great for Japanese Brush beginners. Chikuhodo has a little bit of everything. Sonia has sophisticated shapes that comes from one who has in depth experience with different brush shapes. It all about what you vibe with more-
How were you able to wait and not open the box?!!!! I would have opened them. Played with them. After my excited toned down, then I would have put them back into the box like nothing happened
I was gonna switch slot of my brushes to this brand. But then Sonia g kept pulling me in and now. I just can’t. I wNt to but I can’t. Maybe one or two ????
I was just on Hak USA site. Man any brushes I plan to purchase I'm gonna have to pay the new price. I'm so scared to see what the prices are. The numbers are only on the J & B series of brushes.
As far as face brushes i recommend following Toshiya’s instagram account. @fudejapan. He is a personal shopper located in Japan. I prefer to buy special sets bc they have different colored handles and feel so special. Ive purchased many brushes from him.
Why don't you wash your brush before using? You should do it to remove excess hair and dirtiness. Some of my zoeva brushes that have white hair get more stiff after washed only 1 time.
I visited the Hakuhodo showroom in Torrance. I ended up falling in love with the S series and S series Black. I ended up leaving with three thousand dollars worth of brushes... I haven't told anyone about that!
carolina Maldonado honestly, I’m so proud of you for splurging on quality like this. You’re goals!

kinkysweat yay!! I can’t wait!!! I just got an email that the Sonia G pro eye set is restocking tomorrow 🙌🏻! I always refer to your brush reviews to find my favorites. You are the one who encouraged me to get Sonia G and Wayne Goss and they have truly changed my makeup game!! And maybe some day I can add Hakuhodo to my collection too!! 💖
So nice to have some options in the brush world! Great review!!! Can’t wait to hear about Wayne Goss’s new synthetic brush set.. I am waiting for his holiday brush to come back in stock..
That video will be up tonight! Did you see Mel’s yet?
kinkysweat yes! I just watched it this morning 😉
Thank you so much for this video! I have been on the fence about the Hakuhodo brushes, I love the Wayne Goss and Sonya G. brushes I have and I have a couple Chikihodo that are nice. You have inspired me to pick up a few Hakuhodo brushes to try.
Hooray! Let me know if you even pick some up!
You are so funny, absolutely adorable girl! Got me wanting to buy every brush known to man though but loving your reviews!
Hakuhodo's transparency with their price increase was unbelievable. They even detailed the type of hair and series that would be most impacted.
Confession: I purchased 6 Hakuhodo brushes in 2018 and use them frequently. I sorta, kinda lost my mind and picked up an undisclosed number of brushes.
I think we are forming a Brush Addicts Anonymous on this channel AND I AM OK WITH THAT 🙈💀🤣
Why did i watch this? 🙈 I’m trying to do a low buy! Oh yea, cause i love your videos and personality
🤣🙈💸
I can’t stop looking at this eye look! I just ordered 2 of these palettes and that purple liner. Love these purple shades!! I’m so glad the prices on these brushes didn’t go up too much. I’ll definitely buy some. The orange handle brushes went up ridiculously 😩. Love how you described the brushes and demonstrated them in action 😍 xoxo 💜
Woof! Those are probably like super premium luxurious, huh 😩🔥
I love Hakuhodo brushes 😍. I think they have one of the best quality goat brushes and chikuhodo has the best quality squirrel brushes in my opinion that is. Let’s buy more brushes!! I literally have lists of brushes I need to buy from different brands hahaha. I’m such a hoarder. Love ya 🥰
Hahahahaha! I would love to know your Chikuhodo recs! And yes, there’s not turning back 💸🤪
kinkysweat any of the face brushes from the Z series (grey squirrel) but especially Z1!! Just divine!!! The Takumi series (saikoho goat) is also great 😆
I’m so tempted to get these brushes...especially the highlighter brush😩😩😩BUT Wayne is calling my name...so I’ll have to wait. This eye look is freaking amazing....and that blue mascara🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!!!!
I love Hakuhodo brushes... omg. I only have their eye brushes, which I want more. Next purchase I want some face brushes! I absolutely love watching other people's hauls specially when they're trying them for the first time. Makes me giggle inside cause I'm like now they know the goodness! Loved your commentary too haha.. perfect :)
I’m HOOKED! I could keep buying Hakuhodo brushes and still not be satisfied. It’s bad 🤣🤣🤣💸
I need to check those out! I received a few of my Sonia G brushes today and i literally squealed (in what little voice I have)! I was so exhausted after my stretching that I haven't tried them out yet, but I know I'm going to LOOOOOOVE them! Oh yes... KL polish is going out of business. No close date as of yet, so maybe stock up on your favorite colors now. Several are already sold out.
WAAAAAAAT!? 💀 I was not expecting that news! And yay to stretching!!! I’m happy that you’re moving and grooving. And yes, I know that squeal voice very well! And that squeal feel all around!
I am so digging your Hakuhodo haul, my heart actually skipped a beat when I saw how that highlighter brush was dancing around in the palm of your hand lol. I got a chance to dive in to these brushes at the IMATS event last year in my city and I have been a Believer ever since...great video 😊🖤🖤
Thank you, Karen! I am too a believer, and am so happy to finally bought some. They are truly transformative!!!
Yes the addiction is real!! I have been to the Hakuhodo website but was lost in love looking at the brushes. I will be purchasing, thank you for the recommendations.
Those brushes are BEAUTIFUL 😍. Nothing applies shadows like natural bristle brushes🌺
They were a dream!!!
Which one do you prefer, Hakuhodo, Wayne Goss or Sonia G? . Also that is the only thing that dissapointed me from the Sonia G pro face set, there was no box or bag or nothing just wrap in the plastic baggie and the beautylish black paper, at that price point I expected better presentation 🤷♀️
Maritza J.A - I agree about the presentation. At least Wayne’s sets are in the cylinder.
I like Sonia’s face brushes but Wayne’s eye brushes I find easier to get a light application and blend. But since I am a novice with eye makeup that might be why.
@@teacheschem right , even the beautylish bag they used to give would have been better than nothing.
Ooooo that’s hard. I love LOVE all my brushes, and I can answer that after a few days. Maybe a week or two 🤪 As far as the presentation: yes it would’ve been nice to get a bag or cylinder case. The silver lining is that I have less stuff to keep because I have a tendency to clutter.
@Spectroscopy you’re right in thinking that, because Wayne’s brushes definitely deliver a more airbrushed finish. Sonia’s brushes pick up a touch more product.
Julie Kerr which ones ?
What soap do you use to wash your brushes?
The Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Baby Liquid Soap
Thank you
Oksana Argueta
I agree. I’ve tried a few brands and imo the Dr Bronners baby soap liquid is the best.
I also put a small amount of Aloe Vera on my squirrel hair brushes when they are nearly dry. Let the Aloe dry and then rub the brush across your hand. It seems to condition the hairs without affecting performance. 🌸
Thank you for sharing, Jenny! Great tip!!!
kinkysweat
I can’t take the credit...Tarababyz always does this with her Japanese made brushes. Cheers 💕
I'm not going to lie. I tend to buy no name, but good quality brushes for most of my makeup doing but, I will invest in blending and powder brushes. I'm happy you picked up the J142. It is my favorite eyeshadow brush and it just blends with ease. I am debating on purchasing either a Hokuhodo or Chkuhodo powder and foundation brush. I am getting an idea ready for a vanity, and would love to have some brushes for display, durability, and ease of use.
I’m looking out for some recs myself! I definitely want to buy a foundation brush. And I definitely see a difference in how my makeup applies.
I love your videos, you sell everything so well, lol. I wanna buy everything!!!!!
🤣💸 Thank you!
Hi love your channel...I was excited to use my wet-wild brushes today 💖💖💖
I have to say ... these brushes are hands down some of my faves. 😊
I’m so happy I made the purchase! They are outstanding!
I'm planning to buy some hakuhodo brushes!!! Can't wait till the restock j series!!! I live in New Jersey! We are so close :) I day dream about having out with you!! Going to makeup shopping together!!💜
Lol typossss
I was so excited when I saw you posted this. I love their brushes and since you're such a brush enthusiast I hoped you would as well. When it comes to the Wayne Goss vs. the Hakuhodo I think they are essentially the same brushes. However, because they're bundled by hand the amount of taper may vary with each brush. For instance I have like 6 of the J142 (I know excessive lol) and of those there are ones that are rounder than the Goss #17, some that are more tapered than the Goss #17, and some that look pretty much identical. I think that's just kind of what happens but I'm cool with it because no matter how tapered they are, they still work beautifully.
Also, I just bought that palette and I'm waiting for it to be shipped. I've never tried colourpop eye shadows before but Mel gave such a glowing review that I had to give it a go. Now, after seeing your eye look, I'm super excited to play with it. I just wish I had bought the colored mascara as well. That looks absolutely beautiful with that look. So fun.
Thank you for outlining the comparisons! And 6 is not excessive in my book! 🤣🤪 I definitely want to purchase duplicates. And yes the Colourpop mascaras blew me away!
I love your honest review..you are the best..😘😘😘
Thank you, Erika!
I can say that im kind of addicted to your videos...
💕🤗🤗🤗💕
You look like a unicorn🦄 Love Hakuhodo brushes and totally relate to not wanting to use them when you first get them.
It was hard 😩 But my craziness would just buy duplicates 🤣💀
I love the Hakuhodo brush cleansing bar. I know it's just a glycerin soap, but I like it. Dear Husband took me to Kyoto for my birthday last fall and I visited the showroom there. It was so beautiful.
I had my eye on that one! I think I will pick it up eventually-
I actually wasn't crazy about the goat hair eye brushes I got from Hakuhodo. Compared to my Wayne Goss brushes I found them to be too scratchy, thought the squirrel hair brushes are very nice. And of course, my Sonia G are the cream of the crop. :) Those brushes just make me happy inside.
Do you think the texture changed as you washed them? I still want to invest in some squirrel brushes for sure. The highlight tapered was unlike anything I have ever felt.
Love reading the comments. I've been debating who to buy eye brushes from! Sonia G I can only find the sky set .. would this be the best in your opinion or should I hold out for her others to be restocked? I will be using them with my pat mcgrath Pallettes. I have had It, bobbi brown, Mac and tom fords original brushes but need to update my collection.
@@gingerphoenix805 yes, you can learn so much from the comments! Plus, you get my opinion on the brushes after having used them for several years. I have mostly Wayne Goss and Sonia G brushes, with a fair sprinkling of Hakuhodo and rephr. I'd put Hakuhodo at the lowest tier (though still very good brushes, save a few scratchy goat hair brushes I eventually gave away. They've also got a HUGE selection and are a.ways in stock. Personally I'd stick with squirrel hair or squirrel hair blends from this brand). I think Rephr and Wayne Goss are about neck and neck for second place and actually very similar to each other, though I've got a slight preference for WG. To me they're the work horses of my brush collection. They're seriously solid, reliable brushes- mostly goat hair, hard wearing, soft, familiar and effective shapes and reasonably priced by fude standards. They look just about as good today as they did when I bought them, and I use them every day. And then there's Sonia G! Her line to me is just so exciting. She's got so many innovative shapes, some that I've never seen before. The hair quality is next level and the softness is unreal. And the whole package just screams luxury. They're such a satisfying weight and the handles are beautiful.... they're also the priciest! If I was doing it all over again, I'd stock up on my basics with Wayne Goss (or try and catch a Rephr sale) and then splurge on some of those special and unique Sonia G brushes. That's where Sonia G really shines. The basic shapes can be skipped to save a few bucks, though. Plus, her line is very hit and miss as far a being in stock, so you probably couldn't buy all her brushes even if you wanted to. Sign up for Beautylish notifications and be quick, because they sell out fast. Good luck!
@@lilyt5855 thank you so much for your reply. I just purchased numerous wayne goss off beautylish and signed up for emails as you suggested. I like that you have had yours for years and they stand the test of time. I love brushes that last and work well.I will buy some of sonias when they restock the pro collection. I like the red handles better I think. For some reason spontaneous purchasing on eBay.. I decided to buy some of tom fords natural hair brushes since they're discontinued and won't be able to find them soon, though at the price I paid for his I could have bought sonias sky set and more lol. I figured I will hold off on hers for now but definitely soon I will have to try them to! Thanks for the helpful insights!
them brushes are perfection, they recommend to use them every day
I am so lucky to live in the same city! Sometimes I just go there to get my steps in, but always end up buying g something. Love tnem all!
I would be in danger if I lived near their showroom 🤣🙈
Love your excitement in your videos! It's contagious:D I discovered Japanese makeup brushes last year and bought some Hakuhodo eye brushes during that time. They have made eyeshadow application so much more fun and more blended for me at least. I just got some of their face brushes and they are incredibly soft: B/J104, B/J531, S5521A & the G6070. I am obsessed with fude now even though I can only get some every couple months cuz that ish is HEXPENSIVE lolololol
I'm going to CA this summer and neeed to stop by their showroom! I got a few of their eye brushes a few years ago and need to do another purchase. Too bad I missed buying some before the price increase but I still will make the plunge again eventually haha.
I may have over 100 Hakuhodo brushes. They last a long time with great care. I have had my Hakuhodo brushes for years. WG brushes are similar, but if I had to choose between WG and Hakuhodo, Wayne wins. The crease brushes between Hakuhodo and WG are practically identical but I like his specialty brushes better.. such as Air Brush and I like his eyebrow brushes better. I like different brushes and I have a few Hakuhodo Grey Squirrel brushes that are amongst my favorites... kinda like that goat hair eye brush that looks like a mini face Brush. If you turn the Brush backward you can get an exceptional lower eye blend. It works OK with the goat hair Brush but not nearly as awesome as grey squirrel Brush. I loved your video. You always make me smile.
Thank you, Annette! And I appreciate your insight. Despite how many brushes I’ve purchased, I still feel very new to the game. And any input is extremely helpful!
I have brush envy!!!!!😩😍💗💕
Hakuhodo makes beautiful brushes, they are addicting! If you ever go to IMATs they always have a booth. There you can see and touch & feel (dangerous) them.
Oooooooo shoot! Well, I better start saving up!!!!🤣💸
I just received the Wayne Goss Synthetics. Please do a review of them soon. Love your channel! Purchased the Butter Creme by Qhemet Biologics. This kinky/curly girl is happy! Thanks for the recommendation. You Rock! ❤️
Thank you!!! And yay to the Qhemet Biologics purchase! It’s a great daily hairdresser. And I love the scent! Uploading my Wayne video tonight!
kinkysweat 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 Can't wait!
Wow such a helpful and timely video! Thank you 🙏🏽
I was not able to make a purchase before then...I hope the prices have not increased that much...it will be summer before I have it in the budget...I have splurged on Sonia G and Wayne Goss...so I am OK
The price increases were for squirrel hair, long horse hair, the S100 series, and the black S100 series, and Kokutan. The goat and synthetic prices were not affected.
carolina maldonado unfortunately I am interested in some of those...but good to know. Thank you
I came for info on the J5522 I have a few but I’m getting the whole shebang
for face i have the S series 5311 5313 and 5314
hakuhodo brushes and pat mcgrath makeup, the top darling
I need these brushes. But I can’t afford them! Oh my lord! Those are my most wanted. Love you and your personality! ❤️
Beautiful look Alicia
The brushes are on my wishlist. I have no colourpop shadows yet. I have enough palettes at this time.
So do I! And I haven’t learned anything yet! 🙈💸
Also, how does the H3874 compare to the Mac 239 brush in size and shape? The 239 is my favorite shader brush, but I don’t like the new synthetic version and I’ve been looking for a new shader brush!
I have to check! I don’t have a lot of MAC brushes, but would like to know myself! The Hakuhodo is a blend of goat and synthetic.
kinkysweat it looks like an amazing brush! How do you like it compared to your favorite Zoeva shader?
Excellent review and demo! And the price is right. Thanks to Kinkysweat, here I come Hakuhodo. 🤭🤓
Lovely review as always Alicia💕
Thank you, Viviana!
Which brushes did you recommend for people with smaller hooded eyes?
Defiantly one of the smaller crease brushes. The one that reminds me of Wayne’s number 4.
OMG Yesss! I havent gotten through the video yet but I am dying to know if you found a hakuhodo brush or ANY brush thats a dupe for the MAC 224 eye brush :( It's SO big and fluffy and perfect for me. But sadly they changed to synthetic and it doesnt fluff. I don't like synthetic of those types of brushes. They never work for me D:
Ok, back to the video!!!!!
Would the J5522 be a possible dupe!?
I was going to ask the same question...The original MAC 224 is one of my HG eye brushes, b/c of the shape, size, & airiness. However, I've ALWAYS found it to be scratchy/pokey, no matter how I condition it. I'm trying to find a better quality dupe. That's the 1 brush I would pay crazy (Suqqu/Surratt/etc.) money to buy.
been thinking pf getting these brushes😍😍😍 thanks for the review💋
Hi, totally random but, what shade do you use in the Charlotte Tilbury finishing powder? How do you like it as well? We’re shade sisters and you’re my go to for recommendations! Thanks
Can you compare them to the Sonia G Brushes?
You should try Eigshow brushes they are a dream.
Thank you for the rec!
Hello beautiful!I'm new to japanese brushes and I'm trying to decide between hakuhodo's and wayne's goat eye brushes.I've heard that they are practically the same,since there is a rumor that wayne's brushes are made by hakuhodo,but I want to be sure before buying something that expensive from overseas(I'm from europe).So,do you notice any differences in terms of softness/stiffness/colour payoff etc?Thanks in advance!
I love you girl.. first time watching your channel... you are so funny!!!!!!!
Would you do a comparison of your favourite brush for each type of application now that you have Rephr, Hakuhodo, Wayne Goss, Sonia G and more? I know many youtubers are gifted a lot of brushes but for everyone else it's not possible for us to buy everything from multiple brands for the same use.
Yayyyyy you bought it’s my pleasure. Ughhhh trying not to pick up my phone to purchase 😩 I saw Mel’s review too and wow she sold me. How does colourpop do it???
I have no freakin’ clue: their shadow formula is getting better and better. And the price is outstanding!
Beautiful look ❤️💘🦄
Thank you!!!
I have some of the rephr ones on order. How do you find them compared to Hakuhodo? I kind of want to get some of those too. Do you have any opinions on which eye brushes seem to be dupes for eachother now that you have some of both?
I'm such a stalker😂. I would pay admission to see your brush collection😂😂 Just purchased It's my pleasure pallette.
Hahahahaha! I’m honored!!! 🙈💕🤣
I LOVE my hakuhodo eye brushes!!
Meeee toooo! They are the best 💕😩
What nail polish are you wearing? Can you also list them in your description box, please.... with a cherry on top. You wear the coolest colours.
I’m am so sorry! I totally forgot to include it: will make that edit. This is Deborah Lippmann “I like to Move it”! It’s from their Holiday 2018 Party Animal Set!
Girl, what are you doing to me? I just placed an order for some of the Sonia G brushes, thank the gods her pro face set is backorder ( i am waiting to restock the set so I can buy it) I do have one brush from Hakuhodo though, it is amazing.
LOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!
I actually went to Nordstrom yesterday ready to purchase the Nars Mosiac blush aaaaaaaand, that’s a no for me. 😒 It’s not meant for WOC... it’s super light! I was so hyped about it! I’ve been eyeballing since they announced the release. For reference, I’m a Mac NC47... if you’re not sure what shade is that, my skin color is similar to MakeupShayla. I think it’s probably the formula... too difficulty to pick up.
If you would compare... what’s the difference between Wayne Goss, Sonia G and Hakuhodo?
Z Z 😩 I’m sad. I’m on the deep end of Fenty (470) and just order that blush sight unswatched in my last ulta order.
Noooo! I’m sorry to hear that! What brush did you use?
kinkysweat I didn’t use a brush... I just swatched it with my finger. It barely showed on my skin. Which is weird cause Nars and Becca are my favorite blushes because of how pigmented they are! It’s such a beautiful glowy blush! 😫
MissJayDeeMoni In Fenty I’m 385...
Try it out! Please let me know if it works out for you! 🤗
Ps: where did you get these brushes? Website? Or is it mentioned and I missed it?😂which could be the case.. we lost power yesterday and are temporarily displaced😞
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that, Laura!
hakuhodousa.com
Can you do a comparison of how to work with the Wayne Goss eye brushes vs. the Sonia? I already commented on another post about the difference. I can’t tell whether I am just using the wrong brushes to do certain things with Sonia since I have a little struggle with the blending. I love her face brushes endlessly.
In fact maybe just a video on what shape brushes are used to do what on the eyes?
That’s a great idea, and I will definitely work on filming that video! Are you having trouble working with Sonia’s eye brushes?
kinkysweat - yes. Every time I put it down it lays down very strong and I can’t get it blended. I may be using the wrong brush shape.
I switched to a different shape but it was also Wayne’s so I don’t know whether it is the brand or the shape causing the problem.
Mainly me causing the problem though! 😂😂
I live in europe and would love to buy some. Do you have website for me? Where I can order them
hakuhodousa.com
This is the US site but you might be able to still order! Or shoot them an email to ask!
@@aliciaarcher thank you! 😘
Of course!
I have decided that your brush videos are actual porn. XXX, hardcore, brush PORN!!! And I never watch brush vids cuz, well, tbh I'm cruelty free so I wont ever be able to get any of those brushes anyway so it makes me a little sad, I gotta be honest, that i wont ever get to enjoy the bliss that is a Sonia G, Wayne Goss, or Hakuhodo brush. But YOUR videos!!! Your videos i just love and i dgaf that I wont ever buy the brushes!!!!!!!
Amy!!!! I heart you so 🌟 I’m posting Wayne’s Synthetics tomorrow. I know it’s expensive because he’s selling the whole set, but hopefully he’ll sell them individually. I can tell you right now if you split the price, his synthetic tapered powder brush is still cheaper than his natural hair 00.
Amy P and Dirty too Yep...I felt like I was watching Hakuhodo Porn too. I was slightly aroused with the presentation of EACH brush. I ordered 9 brushes the week before Christmas...$249!! Yep that’s what I spent. 🤦🏽♀️. I couldn’t help it.
Beautiful!
Thank you!!!
They’re referenced by J, B, S or G series. You don’t have to mention the H followed by the numbers if that makes sense
I realized that when typing everything 🙈 They made the H skew numbers look important and I thought maybe I should say these!? But now I know-
Opening the package so extra so ME 🤣🤣🤣
Starting from both lines are:
Natural hair
Made in Kumano, Japón
Consider as high end
Which brand you can recommend more? Chikuhodo, Sonia G or the new Rēphr? And why?
I think it all comes down to design. Rephr I think is great for Japanese Brush beginners. Chikuhodo has a little bit of everything. Sonia has sophisticated shapes that comes from one who has in depth experience with different brush shapes. It all about what you vibe with more-
How were you able to wait and not open the box?!!!! I would have opened them. Played with them. After my excited toned down, then I would have put them back into the box like nothing happened
It took everything I had to close the box and reopen on camera. 🙈🤣
I was gonna switch slot of my brushes to this brand. But then Sonia g kept pulling me in and now. I just can’t. I wNt to but I can’t. Maybe one or two ????
I would definitely but the highlight tapered and one of the crease brushes.
I was just on Hak USA site. Man any brushes I plan to purchase I'm gonna have to pay the new price. I'm so scared to see what the prices are. The numbers are only on the J & B series of brushes.
Actually, the new stocks of brushes have been numbered.
Carolina said that the squirrel, horse long hair, S + Z series were affected? Is that right, @Carolina? Most of the goat hair brushes are unaffected.
@@aliciaarcher Correct! The goat hair brush prices have not changed.
Making my list.
I am excited
Oh great more brushes
It’s an addiction that I have embraced fully! 🤣🙈
kinkysweat guess what I did while I was watching your video?! Yup yup yup bought way too much stuff! My hubby is over my madness lol 😂
In the name of full disclosure - I've purchased a few Hakuhodo brushes - I HAD TO - RIP squirrels
As far as face brushes i recommend following Toshiya’s instagram account. @fudejapan. He is a personal shopper located in Japan. I prefer to buy special sets bc they have different colored handles and feel so special. Ive purchased many brushes from him.
Thank you for the rec! I followed him right away 🤣🙈
kinkysweat lol welcome to the world of fude addiction!!!
no synthetics i use only for creamy items, for powders i use real hair only
I can identify with the reluctance, at first, to use an expensive new brush that you know will become stained... 😕
You’re not kidding! But I can save up and buy backups. Not all but definitely of the J5522
Most of them are sold out!
I can’t believe it 😩 When I edited and uploaded I was like 💀
buy synthetiqs only for foundation, lips , concealers , and only cream products, nothing else
Why don't you wash your brush before using? You should do it to remove excess hair and dirtiness. Some of my zoeva brushes that have white hair get more stiff after washed only 1 time.
I do! You might not see me do it on camera, but I always have my microfiber towel on standby.
