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.
@Luvstravel Congrats on retirement! Also, very kind of you to offer up some Chikuhodos for your granddaughter. Best of luck with your future move and new home!
I might have taken advantage of the 25% discount. This was a good time to buy more of what Chikuhodo calls liner brushes, which look like very small shaders. I love that shape and size of brush, and I needed some made of bristles that can handle wet applications (shadows & loose pigments + a mixing medium). I also added one more cheek brush, a liquid foundation brush, and a couple more eyeshadow brushes.
This will probably be my last Chikuhodo purchase of the year. Hopefully they won't release a stellar Beautylish collab set this year that I'll have to buy. 🤣
@nikkayy0 "The best" brush is very subjective. 🙂 Here's a link to similar advice I gave earlier in this thread: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Insiders/Love-for-Brushes/m-p/5444170/highlight/true#M127099
Depending on how you use brushes and which brush shape you prefer for highlighter, here are some Chikuhodo brushes that can probably do both powder and highlight (all prices are USD):
Note that those are all natural/animal hair brushes. If you prefer vegan/synthetic brushes, check out the AF-1 powder brush from Chikuhodo's AF series. Also consider looking at the Luxie brand of brushes. I haven't used any of Luxie's face brushes, but I find their eye brushes to be incredibly soft.
I'm sure other folks can chime in with more suggestions!

@blackkitty2014I received my Chikuhodo Kazan Homare set this morning
Some observations... the handles are quite large but the wood they've used is incredibly lightweight. The Kazan hair is very soft, almost as soft as fox. It seems to have similar springiness as pine squirrel but without the coarseness. The K8 brush is quite similar to Suqqu Eyeshadow S (which Chikuhodo also manufactured at some point) and the K1 is similar to Suqqu powder brush.
Will let you know how they do once I've used them for some time.
