AMAZING Japanese Makeup Brushes: Hakuhodo

http://www.hakuhodousa.com/
(They ship worldwide)

Check out the "Knowledge" section of their website that talks about the materials used, how to clean and care for the brushes, and the FAQ. Also check out the Company Outline and read their History - you will find out a lot more about Hakuhodo and see that they are a very reputable brush making company.

FYI: I was assured these brushes are cruelty-free and that the animals are not harmed or killed to attain the hairs. However, if you don't like this, please just buy synthetic brushes. If these brushes are too expensive for you, check out my other video "Cheap Brush Recommendations".

Prices: These brushes come in a wide variety of prices from affordable to very expensive. Many basic eye brushes are around $20 and some very, very expensive brushes are close to $100. However, many of the prices are comparable to department store prices in Europe. Check out the different series, not all of them are expensive.

how is Hakuhodo compare to sigma brush? thanks

[MissChievous]

@0oXfenxiXo0 They are far superior in quality to be frank. But they have a higher price tag.

@boogiedowndiva aw thanks for asking, but no, they don't have affiliate links.

Just put in an order for a few Hakuhodo brushes, S103, Kokutan Eye Shadow Brush SG, S142, & 291 eyeliner brush. I have been waiting a very long time to purchase these, now that I am able I am more excited than ever.

THESE BRUSHES LOOK FANTASTIC!I would especially LOVE to try that 2 red/orange ones!In your quest looking for makeup brushes,do you own or have come across any kind of brushes like the two 24k gold ones (the bristle shape/brush type) or the MAC219 and Sigma'sE45(small tapered blending) that are affordable?The Sigma E45 is great in price but have you seen anything similar yet cheaper than these brushes I mentioned?I would LOVE to purchase these 4 brushes.Sigma is sold out of E45 :'(

Thanks :-)

Have you ever tried Japonesque makeup brushes? How do they compare?

[RainOnMyParade9351]

I really wish you would've talked more about the actual application performance of them, instead of just the quaulity. If they're just made with more luxurious materials and craftsmanship, but you can get the same effect with cheaper brushes, are they really worth getting? With a price like that, I'd really like to know if they're revolutions in application that will better my artistry. But what I gather from this review is that they're just very well-made versions of common brushes.

Only in the US, among a lot of other things, makeup + brushes Are much cheaper than e.g Europe. Yes, some of these Are expensive, but compare to what I have to pay for MAC in Norway they Are not so bad. i will be going to Tokyo soon, and will definetely go for the S-series. So much history and knowledge in the craftmanship of these I almost Get teary- eyed.

[Dwightinho56]

Totally agree. If you want good quality made in a highcost country, you will have to pay more. Each brush takes a lot of time to make.

if you love amazingly soft Japanese brushes, Check out suqqu's brushes

I put myself asleep when I use them on my face.. they're just soooo soft

But beware the prices on them

[dollarstorecouture]

Man, those brushes look AMAZING! Love the orange handles! Not quite understanding how the animals weren't killed to make them, though. Say what? There's a squirrel running around who had his hair used but he's still truckin? I'll have to look into that more, I guess... but I definitely need these!

[happyalibaba]

As to mention to cruelty free, even though they said animals were not harmed when collecting their hair, think thru it, how could be it possible to collect hair from a squirrel without harming it? If it's goat, I buy that. But a squirrel? I don't think so. Anyways, the brushes are of very good quality without a doubt. They said they are cruelty free, it is by no means possible if they are collecting hair from highly active animals like squirrels.

My first impression of the site was like shopping for a Mercedes. My only thought was damn. When I am filthy rich, I will buy my S series in car and brushes
