Hi Everyone, I spoke with a representative from Fude Beauty and they kindly let me know that their shipping is typically only 5 - 10 days. They also have a members program (reward system) you can sign up for on their site. There is a referral link as part of that program (Give $10, Get $10) so I am adding my link here (prz.io/ZOOz3npS5) and to the description box if anyone is interested.
My favorite brush for applying cream eyeshadow is Sonia G's Worker Two...white goat hair and wide, (a bit bigger than the Soft Shader you mentioned) it really lays the product down beautifully. And my other super fave is the Sonia G Crease One which has the shape of a pencil brush but it's larger, it can be used like a pencil brush to work shadow under the lower lid line but also in your crease and is especially wonderful if you have hooded eyes. These brushes are so soft yet so firm and get the job done. Love your picks , Lexi!
Hakuhodo is another brand and they have a USA site but there’s usually no sales on their brushes. However I highly recommend them as they were my first brand into fude.
✨👍🏻Excellent Picks n Recommendations! 😍Loved your Descriptions n Multi-uses for these Brushes/Brands, look forward to your future Videos in this series 😎Awesome Job with such a Gorgeous SMILE Lexi 💛✨
Hi Lexi I m so happy to find you on YT Your comments are so accurate and precise it s so helpful ! Thank you 🙏 I subscribe and I’ll be there for. The next video Hug from france
Perfect timing, Lexi😊. I was planning on picking up a few from the Beautylish event! And your recommendations have made it so much easier!! Thanks a bunch and have a great day🌸
I always love when you do a new makeup brush video. I’ve been thinking about buying some more Chikuhodo. The KZ-4 looks really nice. I’m very tempted! 😊
I have the Koyudo Fu-pa 03 and I love this brush! It’s the best foundation brush I’ve used. 😊 Great video! I love brushes so I’m very excited for this series! 😍
I love your brush collection Lexi is fantastic and you are right the only brushes you need are the Sonia G Sky set those brushes do it all. Awesome video!
Happy Saturday Lexi! Your descriptions and reasons why you like each brush are excellent and helpful - easy to understand. Definitely not too long! Love that you are doing this series as I have become so interested in fude and purchasing a collection. Looking forward to more brush videos! Do you know if you are supposed to wash brushes before you use them? I started using one from CDJapan without washing it because the shape is so great and I was afraid it would change after I washed it - and I have never washed and kept fude shapes before! Also, do you like the Westman Atelier eyeshadow brushes?
Thank you! Yes you should wash your brushes first. Brushes can “bloom” after washing so if you want the same shape which is probably a bit more compressed, use a brush guard when drying them. My water is kind of hard so my brushes don’t bloom a lot. I like the Westman Atelier brushes a lot. I have the blender, baby blender, and both eyeshadow brushes. I think they are very expensive for synthetic brushes but they are high quality. They work well and have a nice aesthetic. The blender brush is so close to the Chantecaille buff and blur that i would go with that instead but the others i have are more unique. If i were traveling, i would definitely take the WA brushes with me because not only do they have short handles but they are so versatile, particularly the eyeshadow brushes. The baby blender works great for cream blushes and highlights. Gucci Westman actually recommends the full size blender for the highlights and bronzers. The eyeshadow brushes work well with powder and cream products. They are better as multipurpose eyeshadow brushes when you want to use just one or two brushes for a look.
@@LexiJong Thank you for the help and information on washing and WA. I will attempt the washing! I picked up the drying rack you recommended to make it easier!
Hi Lexi, I own a lot of Japanese brushes also. A lot from CD Japan, Fude Beauty & Hakuhodo USA but I am with you for great makeup brushes you really only need Sonia G.
Great video! Favourite eye brushes: sonia g sky set ( love the jumbo blender, mini booster) favourite face brushes: sonia g Sky set favourite bronzer brush: wayne goss large artisian brush favourite highlight brush: wayne goss small artisian brush favourite blush brushes: sonia g soft cheek, classic cheek, cheek pro favourite buffer: sonia g smooth buffer
Hi Lexi, such a great round up of your favourite brushes from your wide collection across many brands...thank you as always for your comprehensive level of detail! I read that Chikuhodo will be having "limited" brush sets mid Nov, meaning they're calling holiday "limited"... not sure where they'll be but I know we'll be looking!
I was really planning to buy some new brushes! Your video is helping me a lot in choosing the perfect products! Thanks for shareing all these useful information with us!
Great video Lexi and a great selection of brushes! I love brushes too! I'll definitely add the Sonia G Master Face to my wishlist. Also good to know that the Chantecaille Buff and Blur is comparable to the WA. Takeda is another Japanese brush brand I enjoy. I was lucky enough to be gifted a set a few years ago by my mother in law after a trip to Japan. That started me on my Fude journey. I will look forward to viewing your brush series!
There are so many brands i want to try. I will have to look into Takeda in 2021! It is so sad but i already have a list of things to buy in the new year. 😂 I would love to hear any other recs.
@@LexiJong Yay! Exciting! And now I wonder if I've missed out on Surratt sable concealer brush during that awesome sale... I didn't buy any non squirrel (grey or Canadian) brushes. I will try not to feel too FOMO as I'm sure I will have equivalent brushes 😆.
@@kaorurl7039 it will be back and i am sure there will be more discounts. That sale was really good! I am still sad i missed it! Keep an eye on bluemercury too because i think they carry the brushes and will probably have a sale soon too.
Hi Lexi. You have some lovely brushes. I also love the Koyudo Fu-Pa 03 for foundation, such a beautiful brush. My newest and current obsession is the Sonia G Smooth Buffer, its a game changer! :)
Aloha Lexi! I’m in need of a good “workhorse “ beginner set of brushes! I have mature, deep set eyes and have been intimidated by what’s out there! Any recommend for this dazed 🥴 and confused gal! Thanks my friend!🥰🌺🌺🌺
I think the rephr core set that is on sale right now is a great starter set! I am not sure what the shipping is to you though. If you can get them for half off, great deal! Otherwise, i like Sonia G. Picking up a few from the Beautylish event would be a great start. Sonia G brushes are constantly oos so you kind of want to pick what you can. The sky set (blue handles) are my most used) but i don’t have all of the pro face brushes yet. I think any pro or sky brush you can get is great to start with. The reason i would go with rephr or Sonia G is because the bristles are goat hair and they work well with pretty much everything. All of the rephr brushes are undyed and can be used with powders our creams. The Sonia G have a mix, white bristles can be used with anything and the darker bristles should be powder only. The Sonia G are a little softer than the rephr imo. There is no price savings for buying a set of Sonia G. Please let me know if you need any more advice!
I had no idea there are brushes made of silver fox hair. I hope she is not killed for that 😣... I definitelly like Japan mzde brushes. I know they are hand made. The undied goat hair ones are my favorites on any of the categories. I just love white. Thank you for reviews and comparisons. Amazing brushes!
Love your selection! I want so bad the CHIKUHODO KZ-04. It is in my cart right now but I should wait until January that it´ll be restock. Do you have the Surratt cheek brush. If so, how do you compare them? Thank you for this video 💗. Blessings and happy holidays! ✨.
I think the KZ-04 is a fantastic choice! I have the Surratt cheek brush and the shape of the two of them is slightly different. I love both of them but I reach for the KZ-04 more than any other brush. I have a comparison of both brushes in the KZ-04 section of my homare review video from August 29.
Hi Lexy if you have to pick a back up for one of two brushes between the Face Pro and the Master Pro wich one you’ll choose? And why? And for bronzer wich one is better?
The Master Face is one of my all-time favorite brushes so I would pick that - I use it for powder and blush mostly. For bronzer, I like the shape of the Face Pro better.
