Thank you! Finally someone who understands you really can’t fairly compare two different types of hair/material. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve watched a video and the “show” was a synthetic. Okay rant over
Now, for an actual question. How do you know that Tom Ford and Sonia G are fude? What distinguishes the difference between a fude brush and regular expensive makeup brush (ie Mac, Charlotte Tilbury, Burberry, etc) ? Good Info and definitely enjoying your channel!!!
I am so glad to hear you are enjoying!! I have pinned this comment because I feel it is such a good question. Everyone is welcomed to share their thoughts and we can have a discussion on this topic!
"Fude" simply means "brush" in Japanese, most commonly used for calligraphy brushes but also includes the subcategory of makeup brushes. Personally, I have 3 criteria to classify as "fude", the first is mandatory, the other 2 are flexible and I think will differ from person to person. 1). Handmade by artisans, this is crucial and eliminates all mass produced/machine made brushes; 2). Made in Japan (usually in the town of Kumano which is regarded as the brush capital of Japan), but I understand amazing brushes are made in other countries too, I just don't think we would normally refer to these are fude; and 3). Uses natural fibers - again, there are some brushes that meet #1&2 and are even made by the traditional Japanese manufactures but I just don't think synthetic fibers truly represent the fude experience as well as natural bristles. #3 is a tough call but I want to include it because I don't think there is a big difference between synthetic fude brushes and good brushes from say Sephora & Ulta.
So to finally answer your question, lol, Sonia G meets all 3 of the above. It is widely speculated that Hakuhodo made Tom Ford & Mac brushes before they switched over to synthetic and Charlotte Tilbury, Burberry, Bobbi Brown, Smith Brushes, are not handmade by skilled artisans and would not classify as fude.
My first ever pin!!! Yay!!! The criteria seem to make sense now. I could tell that Hakuhodo and Chikuhodo were fude but didn’t understand why! I own Mac and asked for some Smith Cosmetics for Christmas. I’m interested you bring up Hakuhodo private labeling for Mac and Tom Ford. My understanding is that Anisa International private labels for Sephora Pro, Bobbi Brown, Make-up Forever, and a few others I’ve forgotten off the top of my head. And I’ve heard they took over for Mac which is why the switch to synthetic and the very different shapes for the brushes
@@KendraMorgan That is interesting. I didn't know about Anisa International. Thank you for sharing
I just ordered my first Sonia g brushes today and can't wait so I'm watching reviews lol! I'm glad youtube recommended your channel. Your videos are very relaxing and informative :)
Hi Lindsae, I am so glad to hear that you found this video informative 🙏🥰. But more importantly, Congratulations on your new Sonia Brushes!!! I think you will love them and I hope you will enjoy them for many years to come ❤
Thank you for your channel. You make it easier for me to decide what to get.
Hi Kate! You are too kind, thank you so much for the nice message, you have made my day! I am happy to help in any way that I can
@@FluffyFude Your knowledge and passion for fude is astounding. It is a maze of bewilderment for me to simply look at Fude Beauty's web page, but here you are bringing analysis to it all.
Thank you so much for your response. I would love to see a video of your favorite brushes for smaller/hooded /mature eyes.
Of course! That is a great video idea. I have a long list of videos I want to film but I will eventually get around to this one.
What a great video, very informative and thorough. I love Sonia g brushes. I got the eye pro set, but I really want the new sky eye set, as well as some of her older brushes, like the smudger brush like you mentioned, and the worker two. I feel like the brushes elevated my skill level for applying makeup .
Thank you very much!! 💕 I am glad to hear you are enjoying your Sonia G brushes and that they have elevated your skills, I could not agree more! I also want the new sky eye set and hope I can purchase it before it sells out. Thank you again!
Fluffy Fude thanks for commenting:) have you managed to purchase the new set? I saw it sold out less then 10 minutes .
@@nevertheless191 Of course! I try to respond to all comments 💕. I did not purchase the sky eye set and am eagerly waiting for the restock
I love how soothing your videos are, thank you for this beautiful review!
On the contrary, thank YOU for all of your support and kindness. Really makes my day reading your sweet comments. I am so glad to have met you ❤️❤️❤️!
Got the Hakuhoda Reiwa set because of you and I really enjoy them. I even like the blush brush better than my Sonia g cheek brush. Gotta get the smudger brush now since I also go over liner with shadow. Thanks for showing actual use with shadows, so helpful.
Hi Caroline, thank you again for watching. I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the Hakuhodo Set ❤. That little smudger brush is perfect for that, I use it on a daily basis. Thanks again and take good care.
Thank you for this, i was wondering why you preferred the worker 3 over worker pro
Hello, sorry for the delay. I wanted to check the brushes in person since I didn't remember the exact differences. I prefer the worker 3 because it is more densely packed and feels less flexible than the worker Pro. The Worker 3 has a thicker width ferrule, I would say even almost twice as dense which I find to be more unique for shader/blender type brushes and I find work better for packing on pigment. Thank you for watching!
Really excited to see your top 5. Since I’m always looking for eye brushes that can fill a void in my collection, I’m trying to only purchase individual brushes. I’m considering the Builder Pro for the almond shape, but already have WG Eye Set (2nd release). In your opinion, would there be any overlapping function/performance with any in the WG set? I have mature/hooded lids and my crease is no longer visible if I don’t create one. Thanks!
Thank you, Sheila! I think it is a great idea to purchase brushes individually and get only the ones that fill gaps in your collection. Sorry it took a while for me to reply, I wanted to look into it some. Please take it with a grain of salt because I do not own the WG Eye set, but I have looked at the brush descriptions and pictures. I think the closets to the Builder Pro in that set would be the #18. However, I do think they are quite different brushes and would have different uses. The pointed almond shape allows for a lot of precision - so you can use this brush to pack on colors, add extra pigment where you need it, inner corner, outer V, etc. I see the WG brushes more as brushes for blending & diffusing looks, but the SG Builder Pro is not a blending brush and works best for packing on the color & shimmers. I hope that helps some!
Fluffy Fude Thank you for taking the time to make the comparisons. Because of how you thoroughly describe/review brushes, I felt certain you would take a close look before responding. As someone who is relatively new to Fude, I’m truly enjoying your channel and content. As for the WG brushes, you’re right, they are excellent brushes for placement & blending. I bought the SG Builder One to pack on color, but it’s too small and takes too long. So maybe the Builder Pro will do the trick. Thanks again and I’ll be watching for your review of the Sky Eye Set🌺
@@sheilaking Thank you!! 🥰 I am always happy to help to if I can. I feel similar about the Builder One, and think the Builder Pro is a better alternative to the Builder One. I also find the Builder One difficult to use because the ferrule is wide and thick. If you end up getting the Pro brush, please let me know how you end up liking it!! Thank you again and take care ❤️
Fluffy Fude Same here...and I’ll keep you posted👍🏽
Really enjoy your reviews. New subscriber 💕
Hi Chartavia, thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! I really appreciate it 🙏💕
I have both of Sonia g eye set (pro and sky). I think about buying the Wayne Goss eye set. What do you think about Goss brushes? Is it necessary to buy them if I have both of Sonia sets? Which brand do you prefer?
So sorry I am just now seeing your comment. I doubt this is helpful anymore but I think if you already have the SG sets you don't need the WG sets. I love the WG brushes I have but prefer Sonia's brushes because of the more elegant handle and more special shapes. Overall I prefer and recommend Sonia G more
I use the smudger 2 in place of builder 2 to pack on metallic/almost cream shadows :)
Such a good idea!! I need to try that soon, it is so dense that I think that would work really well. Thank you for commenting!! I can't wait to try it.
@@FluffyFude You're still right about Builder 2, it is also my favorite. But for specific placement of certain colors or metallics and shimmers, that's when I use the smudger 2 ☺️
Another great video 🤩 I could not agree more with the performance of the builder 2 brush - it packs a punch for sure! Blender Pro is also great and mine is very much like yours, use it mostly to apply and blend the crease followed by a domed blending brush like Chikuhodo Z11 (it is gorgeous, might get me another one) or Hakuhodo J5533 which is flat an old fav of mine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and use of your brushes! 😘🙏🏼
Thank you so much!! I love the Chikuhodo Z11 too for that exact same purpose, just a more soft and subtle blending method. On the contrary, thank you for sharing your experiences of these brushes with all of us and for your support 😘
@@FluffyFude thanks to you! The Chikuhodo Z11 is a beauty! Glad to know you love it as much as I do! 😘
Will you be doing a review of the Sonia G Sky Eye Set? How do the Sonia G brushes compare to the Hakuhodo brushes? Which eye brushes would you recommend for small hooded mature eyes?
Hi - thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️ I apologize that I can't be more helpful right now as I am still unsure if I will pick up the Sky Eye Set. I am hoping to see a few more reviews before I decided. I would however recommend Mel Thompson's review and comparisons video, I found it very helpful. In the future, I will make sure to do a video on favorites brushes for smaller/hooded/mature eyes too!
In general, I find Sonia G brushes to be of equal or greater quality than Hakuhodo brushes in terms of the bristles, and greater quality and presentation in terms of the handles. The only exception to this is the Hakuhodo S Series - the ones with the red & 24k gold plated handles. S series brushes are absolutely stunning, but in my experiences much more expensive and fragile (For example the Sonia G Face Pro is $85, the Haku S Series equivalent is the S531 and costs $138 +$9 shipping, I have both and both function the same). That last thing to note is that I am making this comparison for goat bristle brushes only, since Sonia doesn't currently offer any squirrel brushes, if you are looking squirrel / other hair types you can't go wrong with Haku / Chikuhodo.
Celiafa, have you tried the Wayne Goss brushes? His number 4, smaller crease brush, would probably work well. I, too, have mature, hooded eyes, and I have to use a smaller brush, too. :)
April Nelson No, I haven’t but I ordered a few and am expecting them to be delivered this afternoon. I did order the number 4 brush so I am looking forward to trying them out. Thank you for the suggestion. Any and all advise is much appreciated.
@@Celiafa2000 You're welcome! Would you mind telling me what are your current favorite eye brushes? Us "women of a certain age" simply must stick together or we'll all be walking around looking like Baby Jane! :)
@@aprilnelson9044 Hi April, thank you for your help! Much appreciated ❤
(I use the Pencil 2 as a lip brush, and I love it to fill in the lips!)
That is such a good idea, it never occurred to me to use it that way. I think I am (eventually) going to make a video of all the creative uses for SG brushes you all have brought to my attention. Really, such creative and multi-purpose functions I have heard from all of you ❤️. Thank you again for watching!!
I asked Sonia for a lip brush, and she said she hasn't found the right hairs yet. But the Pencil 2 is just so good at the job + the Wayne lip brush to line the outter shape! Excited for your "alternative uses" video! THANK YOU :-)
Have you tried the Builder 1? I’m curious how it compares to Builder 2.
Hi Wendy, thank you for watching and commenting. This is a great question. I do have the builder 1 and actually don't love it. I find the ferrule near the top to be too big and hard to use when you are trying to get in the inner corner of the eye/ work in small areas. I haven't used it in a while so I should give it another try. The Builder 2 on the other hand is more dense and I find picks and deposits color better. I hope that helps a little. Thank you again!
Can you do an updated version of this video and the one about face brushes?
That's a good idea, thank you! I will add it to my list. I will admit that my preferences haven't changed much and I still adore all of the brushes in this video but I can certainly see if any from the sky eye set replaced the ones here. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! Very helpful! Have any of your favorites been replaced by any brush in the Sky Eye set?
On the contrary, thank you!! That is a great question. I have 4/5 of the sky eye brushes and enjoy them. My favorite is the classic crease and I would say that is interchangeable to the blender pro in terms of favorites. Other than that I would still say no changes to this list of favorites!
What brush would you say is ideal for blending in (buffing in?) undereye concealer? I believe I need a small dome-shaped brush?
Fluffy will you recommend her pro eye set and why? I have Hakuhodo brushes and Rephr thus far. Thank you for your response!
Hi! Yes I would recommend her pro eye set even if you already have rephr and hakuhodo brushes because some of the brushes are shapes that were very thought out by Sonia and have become staples for me. Well I actually don't think you need the whole set, I would look to see which ones you would use more based on what you already have and what you use most but all of the brushes from the pro set I can recommend. Also I find my Sonia pro eye brushes to be softer than Rephr and depending on the Haku brush can be softer than Haku to. That's just my experience, I have never had a SG brush that wasn't soft enough but I cant say the same about Rephr or Haku. The best from the set for me are the Builder Pro, Blender and Worker. I dont think the pencil brush is a must have. If you have any specific questions or I can help with anything please let me know !
@@FluffyFude thank you so much for your response. I was about to purchase and I happened to come back on UA-cam and saw your response. I am going to complete my task which I started. Thank you so much for confirming what my heart have been desiring! I appreciate your response.
@@jamiliawallace9103 Anytime! I hope you enjoy ❤
Hi. Your video is so helpful!!! Question, do you prefer the worker three to the worker pro? And why? I’m having a hard time deciding between the two. Thanks in advance!
Is the Worker 3 as dense as the Worker 2? Which one do you prefer more for cream application? Have a nice day!
What is the difference between the smudger one and smudger two
Hi, I don't own the smudger 1 because I couldn't tell what the difference is. I looked at the dimensions for the hair bristles and they are both 7mm and have a 9x6mm ferrule size so I really dont know.
I had the exact same question, so I reached out to beutylish about it, and this is what they replied:
"The difference between the two is Smudger Two is thinner and more precise than Smudger One. If you're wanting to smudge out eyeliner and keep it fairly close to the line, I would go with Smudger Two. If you would like something a bit thicker to not only smudge out eyeliner but also shadow on the lower lash line, I would go with Smudger One. With the Smudger Two, I'm also able to apply powder close to the lash line in lieu of using eyeliner. The choice between the two brushes depends on how precise you would like application to be and what you're wanting to use the brush for."
It alsonhelped mr to look at Sonia recent blogpost where she compares the two to the flat definer from the sky set and shows swatches, made with each brush 😊
@@susibuehler6106 Hi, thank you so much for reaching out to Beautylish and for this very helpful and detailed response! I really appreciate you sharing this info with all of us and it is great to finally understand the difference. Thank you again ❤
@@FluffyFude You're so welcome!🙂 Thank you so much for making these videos! They really are very helpful and I learn a lot from you ❣😊
@@susibuehler6106 That makes me happy to hear and thank you so much for watching!!😊
Found your channel via a comment on Sonia's instagram page. Wish I had found your review before I ordered my first SG brushes. Not to worry because now I know why everyone loves them. Anyway I look forward to your future content.
Hi Gardenia, thank you so much for watching and for finding me! Yes, you can't go wrong with Sonia G brushes, just a matter of different preferences and what you think you will get the most use out of, I hope you are enjoying your beautiful brushes! Thank you again!!! ❤️
@@FluffyFude Oh yes I'm enjoying them thoroughly. I honestly thought people were exaggerating about the difference between a well made brush and a generic one. I've been using MAC, Zoeva and Real Techniques and thought they were fine. I used Natasha Denona Sunrise palette this morning and wow! I'm spoiled now; never going back. I just hope I don't slide down that slippery fude slope lol.
@@gardeniainbloom812 Yes! I remember how surprised I was the first time I did an eye look with my first fude brushes, I couldn't believe the difference the brushes made. Proceed with caution, it is indeed a slippery slope! 😅
@@gardeniainbloom812 Hi Gardenia, thank you for watching and commenting on my latest video. I meant to reply to your comment and question in that video and instead of replying I accidentally hit "delete" and deleted your comment, so sorry about that! To answer your question, I believe people collect handmade brushes because they find them beautiful and helpful as makeup tools. While you can get lucky and purchase a brush that later becomes limited edition / rare/ valuable, I don't personally see them as investment peices in the sense that you could resell them later on for a profit. Perhaps this is possible for the more rare hair types as they become even more expensive, but I think most collectors buy them first and foremost for themselves and for their personal enjoyment :) Thanks again for watching!!
Now which one did you use? You said smudger one and smudher two for the same brush
Oh wow, sorry about that. I use the smudger 2 - it should be linked in the description box!
What do you think about Wayne Goss eye brushes?
I don't have many of the WG eye brushes but like the ones I have!
