Love for Brushes

[AMK721]

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.

Aw, thank you @tjffc , and apologies to your bank account! 😅

I think a few other BIC folks know even more about brushes than I do, and definitely own many more than I do. I mean, I'm not a collector. Well okay, I try not to be a collector. 😂 I try to buy only brushes I'll actually use in some way. Not saying there's anything wrong with buying mostly or solely for collection purposes, though. If I ever visit Japan, I'll want to spend 1-2 days on a brushmaker quest and might end up with more brushes than I need.

@WinglessOne Oh. I'd love to visit Japan and add to my collection as well!  I'm sure your brush collection makes you a 'collector.'😀.  Enjoy your collection and I will enjoy mine and I'm sure we. both will continually add to it!!🤗

Thank you so much @WinglessOne . Really great info for me to know. I know I have some brush favorites that probably aren’t the most popular but that work for me. And I can be lazy and use same brushes (clean of course lol) vs experimenting with others. I love the shorter handles too. Also because the older I get the closer I need to get! 😂 I think as long as I have a few key brushes I will be good because I’m just not that talented with them or application either. Brushes that don’t overdo it for blush or highlighter are key for me too! MWAH! 😚🥰

@Sunnysmom   I am not a brush aficionado at all.  These are the first nice brushes I've purchased, and they feel great to me. @blackkitty2014 said these were comparable to Wayne Goss and some Japanese brands (I think that was her; someone also told me they were all made in the same factory.)

[WinglessOne]

@Ispend2much6  @Sunnysmom  I'm not sure these brushes are made by the same folks who make Wayne Goss brushes... I think Hakuhodo makes those, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. 🙂 

I've been super curious about which brush maker in Kumano is responsible for Rephr. I know Chikuhodo has made brushes for Suqqu, Chicca, Shiseido, and RMK/Yuki. I doubt they also make Rephr brushes, though. There are several other companies in Kumano whose brushes I've never tried. 

[Ispend2much6]

@WinglessOne   I don't know that Rephyr's brushes are made by the same people as WG's; I just meant that they are comparable- feel-wise and performance-wise, at least to me.  I think Rephyr's feel a little softer, but I only have one WG eye brush.

We'll all have to work together and be on the lookout for Kumano brushes sold at the best prices. 😀

@WinglessOne @Sunnysmom @Ispend2much6 I believe Chikuhodo is also behind Surratt. 

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  Well that puts a whole new spin on any Surratt brushes that are on sale.

They have completely spoiled me, @Ispend2much6, because they are so good,  I am afraid I would be disappointed with anything else. That being said, I am probably limiting myself and missing out on so much! I do hope to pick up next year’s Lunar New Year brush, which is also grey squirrel. I do remember seeing @Mochapj’s enameling/paint on this year’s, and it was a bit off. I hope the quality is on par next year.

[Sunnysmom]

Nor am I @Ispend2much6 . Learning. Thanks for info! 💞

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  These brushes apply makeup much lighter than fingers do, which works for me.  I used the eye brushes to apply one of my Viseart palettes, and it was soo nice!  Completely smooth.

[Sunnysmom]

They sound very nice then @Ispend2much6. That would be a good idea for me as well and I’ll have to look into them further. I picked up a few random brushes from WG and other lines upon BIC folk’s recommendations ( yours, @itsfi , @blackkitty2014 , @WinglessOne , @Mochapj and many others I’m sure and they’ve all been so good. 😊
