Binging on your videos and finding them fun and informative. Your long, in-depth, google docs supported videos are more fun than they should be. Please do a video dedicated to brush hairs, their uses and makeup you choose to pair with them. Another on accessories: brush holders/rolls; travel accessories etc. Thank you.
Thanks for the video and all the recs! I ordered the Yoshiki cheek brush (mainly for the gorgeous wood handle!) and one of the large BP eyeshadow brushes (pine squirrel I think) from Beautylish and am counting down the days til they arrive!!
I love the BP006 so much for the lightest ever dusting of finishing powder, and because it always has this unusual refreshing cooling sensation emanating from the central hairs, it adds a delicious touch of "Mmmmmmmm" to my makeup experience. :) The Mizume Sakura eye brushes seem like Yoshiki Y03 Y04 Y05. Just ordered L and S but M was sold out so I got Y04, I'll know soon how similar they are. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this information. You may have just made me appreciate my bp006 more! Oh goody! I'm so glad those two lines of brushes are the same. The new line is supposedly made by the ceo/chairman of koyudo? Yoshiki? Do you feel there is a quality difference (like in bundling of the hair or shaping, the feel of the hairs' silkiness ) even though the specs re supposed to be the same?
Thanks so much for this video! I watched a few times and made notes and started my ordering on CDJapan. Just wondering what's the difference between the white Fu-pa 01 and the black Fu-pa 01? On CD Japan, it says the white one is made from Goat Tankoho and has softness of 7, the black one is made from baby goat chest hair and also has softness of 7. They have the same length too. The white one is sold out so I wonder if I should just go for the black one.
No difference except the color of the hair. Tankoho is a type of fine goat chest hair. I just prefer the looks of the white on and I cant conscientiously recommend the black one because I've never owned it before.
@@Jaybirdwalking Thanks! I also like the look of the white Fu-pa 01 and curiously prefer the black and gold Fu-pa 14. I'm just doing some internal struggles to see how good/bad I should be. So many other brushes I want to buy!!!!
@Kaori RL you only get one chance to be bad with these brushes.... I prefer the black handle fupa 14 as well. fupa 01. you might want to check out the houkodou bz-1 as an alternative to the fupa 01 www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/PytJTGW7Lok/5372/A181629/product%2FNEOEHD-129 Is slightly longer, more flexible and feels softer. Less efficient. Requires a tad more work (10-15%ish) to achieve a seamlessly blend
@@Jaybirdwalking Wow thanks for the recommendation. I was also curious if you like Fu-pa 02, it seems really popular, but if I get Fu-pa 01, 07, 013, 014, maybe I won't exactly need Fu-pa 02? I'm checking out Sweetmakeuptemptations post about these Fu-pas and still find it hard to decide.
Thank you Yelena! So good video! After watching this I bought BP016 and I am happy, so great brush! I am thinking to buy second one. Do you know about 015? She looks same shape but sokoho hair, would she work as well as 016?
Just found you through reddit and so far I am loving this video. I just have one question, what type of skintype are you? Oh I am lucky you just answered my question. My second question must be that it would like to see you applying products. Here is for fingers crossed.
Thank you a lot for this thorough review! I wanted to ask you - is the fu-pa14 CB Gray Squirrel Powder Brush (CDJ colab) same as the original Koyudo fu-pa 14? I mean, aside from the handle, is the head of the brush of the same quality (hair and fullness) as Koyudo? Many thanks in advance!
@@Jaybirdwalking Thank you! I am asking as I saw Kihitsu has a similar flat bottom fu-pa 14, but priced at 16500 yen on their website. So that confused me. Thought maybe the Kihitsu/Koyudo is pure Grey Squirrel, but no, in the description it says it's a combination with goat as well. So, now which one should I pick? Would definitely like to have "the right" one. Please help :).
@@elenapascal923 is an open secret that most (almost all) kihitsu brushes are stock koyudo models branded with cosmetic changes and the kihitsu logo. My rec: get two of the CDJapan x koyudo fupas LOL
Jaybirdwalking do you have a video discussing that? Or a recommendation where to look for discussions. I thought moisture would not be good for brushes because of bacteria growth. Please educate me as my brushes are such a large precious investment and want to preserve them. Ideal temp etc? Thank you so much for responding!
@@Msdeexoxo I do not have a video on storage but the ideal humidity I think is 35-50%. And of course, a dry, cool, place. Ideal temperature I can't comment on as confidently but I would say 50 degree F but I don't follow this as it is not realistic for me to achieve
I saw some discontinued brushes on CD Japan do you know anything about buying by proxy. Can you explain if possible and is it expensive or what does it entail ?
It's like using a personal shopper. You tell them (Cdjapan /personal shopper) what you want, they buy it for you. you pay for the items + a fee that is a percentage of the total purchase price + shipping + Japan sales taxes (I think, not 100% sure on this last one).
Hello! I wanted to know if the hair on the koyudo BP 06/08 and BP016 brushes is as smooth as Hakuhodo S110 / 104. I have the KOYUDO brush BP014 and I can really feel a big difference in smoothness relative to Hakuhodo brushes, I know the hair is different (hakutotsuho VS saikoho) but it's for reference. I have no goat hair brush as smooth as Hakuhodo's and I don't enjoy Bp014. Another question I wanted to ask you is if you prefer the bisyodo 01 brush or the Houkodou BZ-1 for your makeup base. I use cream makeup, which is not very liquid. I need it to be soft (it's personal preference I don't have skin problems) and it looks natural, since I hardly use any amount of product because I put on very natural makeup. Currently I have the Chikuhodo GSN-2 that I like and the GSN - 5 that I don't like very much and I use it only for blush or liquid bronzer. Thanks a lot
I'm so sorry i let this comment slip through the cracks unanswered for so long! The 06 feels slightly less smooth than the 110 and 104. I'd rank the smoothness as 110 > 104 > BP06 but this might be a sensory illusion do you notice a pattern? it seems like the larger the brush gets the rougher they feel. with bigger brushes, it is easier to feel the hair texture and thus the hair seems to feel rougher. i prefer the houkodou BZ-1 because it is faster. it is also softer than the bisyodo. the bisyodo is saikoho, the houkodou is sokoho, but the bisyodo is more densely packed and feels more firm.
Hello! I would love to purchase the fu-pa01 Soft, but it is sold out on CD already, also sold out on Fude Beauty. Do you know where else I could purchase it? Thank you!
I don't know whey you can get a fupa 01, but you might do well with the houkodou bz-1 www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/PytJTGW7Lok/5372/A181629/product%2FNEOEHD-129 Is slightly longer, more flexible and feels softer.

Exactly the same. Better yet imo, the CDJapan one stands up due to its flat bottom, though admittedly it's not as pretty

What is that box you store your brushes in? Is that a humidor?
Dingdingding!
It's made of cedar which discourages bugs and regulates humidity
