Hakuhodo x Sephora PRO Brush Collection for July 2015
Hakuhodo x Sephora PRO Brush Collection
These beautiful brushes feature an innovative synthetic bristle material—the first to benefit from exclusive technology—that creates a softer, fluffier feel with actual bounce while retaining the benefits of synthetic bristles. As a result, these brushes are soft as cashmere, yet deposit more product onto the face due to less absorption and are more hygienic than natural hair. The result of the first ever collaboration between a beauty company and highly-skilled traditional Hakuho-do craftsmen, these brushes benefit from the expertise of the Sephora Pro team and are handmade in Japan using a traditional, 200-year-old manufacturing technique. This ensures the highest quality design, materials, and assembly for astounding results.

Availability: Now at Hakuhodo x Sephora PRO Brush Collection (early access for VIB Rouge/VIB)
Pricey…I wonder if they’ll be worth it!
I want all of these… even though this is the most I have spent on makeup brushes lol.
Oh… I just couldn’t resist. Chikuhodo order down, now Sephora x Hakuhodo? Eep! My wallet hates me!
I’ll stick with Sephora’s own “Pro” line of brushes (and some of their regular “ordinary mortals” line). I find most of Sephora’s brushes to be absolutely excellent.
Hi Mariella, I’m looking for a synthetic flat, concealer type of brush to use with some of the more glittery ColourPop eyeshadows I bought recently? And after reading your comment, I figured I’d ask you about one in Sephora’s line.
Hi Nancy T! I happen to like this one and thought I’d recommend it and see if you like it too! I hope I helped! I prefer the classic to the pro cream shader due to its shape.. 🙂 A must-have from Sephora.com – SEPHORA COLLECTION Classic Must Have Precision Cream Shadow Brush #80 – http://www.sephora.com/classic-must-have-precision-cream-shadow-brush-80-P379538?skuId=1504448&om_mmc=oth-textmsg-mobileappshare
The Sephora Pro Cream 28 I also have & it works well also but that’s when I dip into hourglass or MJB concealer brushes.. Just LOVE them. 🙂
Hi Lotus! TY for that recommendation!!! I literally just left the North Scottsdale Sephora, but am heading down to the mall with a MAC and a Sephora. If I get there in time, I will pop into that Sephora and get that brush! Finally, no more issues with over-applying my Krinkle or Sugar!!!! YAY!!!
pardon me as I wipe the drool off of my keyboard… I am really interested in these! I have yet to be disappointed by any Hakuhodo purchase, so I’m really hoping these live up to my current Hakuhodos.
OMG…. I WANT!!! I’m a sucker for brushes!!!
Pricey, but I do love the red color. I might end up getting just one of them and seeing if I like it – maybe the powder one? I’m afraid after I buy it, Sephora will come out with some kind of percentage off coupon!
Hmmm, if I bought all 5 of these Hakuhodo brushes, it would be $211, but for $4 more dollars, I could get the Chikuhodo Sakura Brush Set, which has natural hair and a cherry blossom design. I know I’m comparing different brush types, but it seems like the Chikuhodo is a better deal…. but I am curious about these new Hakuhodo brushes
Lol. I think so too. If you don’t object to natural hair, I think Chikuhodo is way better deal. Plus Beautylist has beautiful packaging. 😉 I just got mine yesterday 🙂
Awesome, hope you enjoy them!!
I HATE that I am going to have to skip this. Happy that there are more face brushes offered and not as I buy more eye brushes lol!
The concealer brush looks good!
I have been really interested in getting Hakuhodo brushes, but the color on these remind me of Santa Claus and Christmas, haha.
I ordered the Concealer, Fan Cheek, and Small Teardrop 🙂 Looking forward to playing with them!
Too pricey for synthetic bristles
I’m glad that there is someone else that agrees!
I also find it a little funny that the descriptions are pretty much going: these synthetics are *so* much better than natural hair…. yet the brushes are being made by a company known for the quality of it’s natural hair brushes. I just feel like it’s a bit of a slap in the face but buisness is buisness i guess.
You’re right. It sounds like a marketing gimmick.
Well its at cruelty free product worth the money! =)
Oh man, between the color and the fact that I don’t have a decent cheek brush, I might give that Fan Cheek Brush a home.
I’ve always wanted to invest in a good set of Japanese brushes and these seem like a good compromise. Although I personally think Sephora brand brushes feel cheap to me. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I’m afraid if I purchase this online I might be disappointed. I do prefer natural haired brushes.
Try Koyudo’s basic C series. I own a few myself. They have natural hair brushes for reasonable prices. A great place to start is Sweet Makeup Temptations or Of Toys and Co.
Thanks! Will definitely check it out.
My opinion of Sephora brand brushes is that they’re pretty mediocre. That pricepoint is just too much of a shock for me. It’s like when you find that one $200 item at H&M or find a $17 entree at Panera bread. It just doesn’t compute.
Red is my favorite, so the color scheme on this is awesome. I usually avoid white bristles, because stains drive me crazy. If you have any brushes with white bristles, do you find them harder to clean?
If these are made of taklon, they shouldn’t stain like white animal hair brushes do. One of the many reasons to love taklon brushes!
I like fur brushes so this will be a skip for me.
I love Hakuhodo brushes but I will pass on these due to the price points. They are way too pricey for synthetic bristles. I have couple synthetic brushes from another Japanese maker and they are only about 50-60% of the cost
Ooh, do you mind sharing the japanese synthetic brush maker? I don’t use animal hair brushes and am always looking for great quality synthetic ones. 🙂 Thank you.
I had been wishing for a long time that Hakuhodo would do synthetic bristle brushes as I now only try and buy vegan brushes. I wrote to them a while ago and they kindly responded they were planning to test out synthetic brushes. I guess I got my wish. I ordered the fan cheek brush to start.
I’m looking forward to receiving these! 🙂 I had to order them all as soon as I saw them when I was browsing and they weren’t necessarily listed! Synthetic Hakuhodo? HELL YEAH! I can’t wait to play! 🙂
I kind of feel like Sephora dropped the ball on this one. There was A LOT of hype in anticipation of the Sakura collection from Chikuhodo x Beautylish, granted they look a lot more expensive and luxurious with the cherry blossom design.
I dont see any images from Sephora, but I know that these do come individually boxed in beautiful red boxes. Maybe I’m jumping the gun and we’ll see an email about it tomorrow, but it seems like just another new product release, which is kind of a bummer.
If I had the cash, of course I would own both as I’m a huge sucked for packaging. Too bad no one has seen it though! A quick Google search will bring it up if you’re interested.
