    I didn't include Sonia's Base because I didn't realize it was sold as a single, but it would absolutely be on this list! geni.us/R4fKD
    Definitely more nimble than Wayne's 24S, and it's the same hybrid blend as her Fusion Series!

      Yes, I wondered about that as well. It is a great brush for when you are in a hurry and you want to throw on concealer quickly after the foundation. Also, it is decent with stick foundations. I have not used it with the Tom Ford Traceless foundation stick. I have used the jumbo base with that foundation stick. 😊

      This is by far the best foundation brush video ever made and you know UA-cam is saturated with them. Excellent job and you picked great brushes but not the same ones everyone will recommend for theirs. Appreciate you!

      Could you do a drugstore priced foundation video, series, of all category of brushes? i have found so many drugstore brushes I prefer over my high end, like Milani Face brushes (eye brushes suck imo) Flower beauty, Kokie foundation buffing brush only, all my Sonia Kashuk and she even makes a lot with real goat hair, some Eco Tool brushes, BH Cosmetics like the marble collection, electric line in the Moda brushes, although they’ve cheapened the others outside the electric line- list goes on and on, as far as fantastic drugstore priced brushes. You are the first I’ve seen not to include the It Cosmetics brushes. Love your selection to share.
      I have the Marc Jacobs and found my drugstore brushes are much softer. A lot of these brushes are so dense that it is very difficult to clean and takes days to dry completely. That’s one downfall of the more dense kabuki style brushes. I have never liked flat foundation brushes and it was for two reasons, I always got streaking until I learned to lay it down evenly with the brush, then go back over with a sponge, to keep coverage, have it apply evenly but also it seems to work way better for tinted moisturizers, serum foundation and the light consistency more fluid type foundations. Now I absolutely love them since learning how I can best use it for me.

    I've changed preferences for foundation application so much over the years. First I was always a hands person. Then a flat foundation brush. Then a super dense kabuki type brush, then a sponge, now I apply with a foundation brush like the bk 101 or the rare foundation brush and then I blend it in with a blender.

    Yay!!!! Alicia, you are my Fude and commercial brush girl.🎉🎉🎉 To me, you are the decisive voice when it comes to evaluating brushes and most foundations. I agree, hands down, Sonia G fusion series brushes are amazing. Out of what you’ve spoken about, I will buy the Chikuhodo T11. I don’t have an all saikoho hair foundation brush. I just purchased a synthetic foundation brush from Rose and Ben. I have not used it yet but the quality and weight is quite good. I intend to use it with my Chanel and NARS cream bronzers. Again, great information!!! Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

    Great video! I’m a foundation junkie and love nothing more than trying new foundation brushes. I have a ton of them but just keep on getting more.
    I was happy to see the Rae Morris 27 Radiance brush made the cut. It’s one of my top favorites as well. As far as I’ve been able to tell there isn’t anything else on the market that leaves such a beautiful finish with so little effort. Believe me. I’ve tried.
    Hakuhodo has a similar looking brush but it doesn’t hold a candle to the Rae Morris. The Hakuhodo one isn’t as large and has less than half the density as the 27.
    If you can find one I highly recommend trying the Koyudo Fu-Pa 07. Similar in size to the Fu-Pa 02 only softer. The 07 has a flat top and the corners of the brush head are tapered to reach all the nooks and crannies. The 07 is also a bit less dense with more flexibility making it more versatile. It can be used for powder application and all over blending easily.

The Chikuhodo GSN 05 is another great brush 👌 and the Koyudo fu pa 02.

    All of my Sonia brushes I bought because of you. And I have zero regrets, and I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge.
    On the note of WG 01 vs Rephr 31. I would say the WG also feels stiffer and more prickly to me, and it's a little trickier to use. If I put on too much foundation with the WG, the brush marks are a little more obvious. I do in general favour the Rephr and (ofc) Sonia base brushes.
