Makeup brush review: Hakuhodo collection

If you are a brush fan, you MUST have at least one hakuhodo brush.

 - beauty on the way

We started to collect Hakuho-do brushes since 2009..We ordered the first batch from Hakuho-do's Japan official website, and received them 2 weeks later. 

Before we placed order, the price almost stopped us, but we were so attracted by the gorgeous vermilion handles and decided to go for some popular ones.  After we received them, then we know what we are paying for, the brushes are absolutely stunning! The workmanship is brilliant in terms of the quality of the brush hair, the color and painting of the handle, as well as the 24K gold coated ferrule.

Official website:

Japan: hakuho-do brush

USA: hakuhodo USA

Great news: you can order brushes from its US website, which provides flat international shipping.  

The S-series brushes are made of natural hair which is very soft but dense and firm, such that they can get the appropriate amount of powder and distribute the products evenly. The handle is made of wood and colored in beautiful vermilion, a traditional Japanese color.

Makeup Brushes Review: MakeUpShow (MUS) -- Part 1 Face Brushes

 

I received this set of makeup brushes two weeks ago and It's time to review them now.

They are from MakeUpShow (MUS), a very famous brand from China, made in Shanghai. This brand is so popular in China now and a lot of friends recommended it to me.

They have several series cover from beginner to professionals, like a beautiful red color long handle set for professionals; black color long handle series for normal individuals, the original wood color handle range for beginner, which is cheaper than the rest and also a white color short handle set for traveling, etc.

After doing so much research, finally I got a few brushes from the High Series, which is the high-end brush made of black walnut handle. It comes with a black color travel case, it's perfect to put all my brushes in (I didn't get the whole set, just 11 brushes that I needed).

A good eyeliner brush is a essential tool for applying gel type eyeliners, such as MAC Fluidline and Bobbi Brown long-wear gel eyeliners.

I've been using Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner brush for almost 3 years. I got it from Changi airport, which cost me ard SGD35.

Recently, people start talking about MakeUpShow (MUS) brushes. I happened to get some MakeUpShow brushes, including two gel liner brushes.
