I'm developing a love for brushes of all kinds. I bought a few higher end brushes and they are amazing. They are incredibly soft and my makeup glides on like a dream. There are so many interesting shapes. I am really interested in creating a beautiful brush collection. Show your brushes and share any cleaning and storage tips and let us know which ones are your favorites.
I hope you're in sales @Cahlee, because if not, you're missing out on a lot of commission opportunities. 🙂
Curious what you'll think about finger application if/when you decide to try it. As far as the MJ 2, do you find it best to dab foundation on your face directly with your fingers then blend with the brush, or do you prefer to dab the brush into the foundation directly (on the back of your hand, etc.)? I believe I've seen people use the MJ 2 in both a stippling motion as well as a swipe/circular blending motion... any thoughts on its use for either method?
@etscore1 Oh my, and here I thought I would be no good for it.
The way I use the brush is by dabbing the foundation straight onto my face and then moving the product with small swipes. Afterwards I will use circular motions to blend the product. This method seems to work well on me but I have never tried stippling with this brush. Now that you gave me the idea, I may have to try it out tomorrow. Now I have two different methods on my todo list. I will get back to you and let you know how big the difference is or is not.
@Cahlee This is so helpful! Whenever I do end up getting it, I know I won't be creative enough to think about all these methods, so thank you! 🙂
@Cahlee Yippee... blush p@rn! 🙂 Can I ask what you use to wash your brushes. Do you deep condition them? With so much love for brushes I figured you would be a great person to ask! Thanks for sharing.
@Cahlee Thanks for the information, you gave me something to think about in caring for my brushes.
Wow, I would like to shop this brush store, lol 😉
Come on in, we're open 😉
This is so pleasing to my eyes!!!! I love your collection 😄
Thank you 🙂
I knew I want to avoid this thread. 😉 Beautiful collection. This reminds me I need to give all my babies a wash. How do you like those red handle Koyudo?
Thank you! I swear this thread is a danger zone. So many pretties to obtain. The red handle koyudos are the Lohas series. I just got these in recently and have yet to give them a wash. From first feel while they are soft the bristles look almost oily and look similar to the MUFE brush hairs after being washed. Hopefully that will change with a wash but I guess I won't know until I do. Whenever I talk myself into having a washing day. Why must washing days be such a pain?!
Thx @Cahlee. What do you think about Koyomo set you got there? I have them in my cart (sigh) but can't decide if I should hoard. Too many pretties!
@blackkitty2014 I think the Koyomo set is a great set. Initially I got the set to get a feel for Koyomo itself before I decided to add any of the other brushes to my wishlist and I was delighted to find I really enjoy this set. The hairs are soft, but firm enough to easily pick up product and blend it. Hoard! Hoard them all 🙂
Hi @Cahlee,
You have a beautiful collection of brushes! I love Marc Jacob's Brushes! I have not tried the Make Up Forever brushes, but would really like to see how the "paint brush" performs!
Best Wishes,
Janean
Thank you! The paint brush is definitely interesting. I have yet to find a perfect use for it aside from contour, but I could not resist the handles shape and look.
Oh my!
Such a beautiful collection!!! What are your favorites?
I bought the Sephora x Hakuhodo collection to introduce myself to Japanese style brushes, but I've heard they weren't as impressive as the real thing 😞 What do you recommend for someone starting out? I'd love to start with face brushes and go from there-- possibly with sets so that they're more value worthy than buying them individually.
