Thank you! It is a reddish scar with scar tissue but it's tiny and always peeks Grey under my concealer. I think I'm going to try using eye primer instead of my face primer, and maybe a thin layer of green concealer under normal concealer. It's very frustrating!
My J142 has almost the same stiffness as my Mac 222 and the J5523 has the same as the Mac 217. I've never had a problem with the goat hair brushes being to soft. I do however not use the J142 for blending very much. I think it doesn't cover enough surface and I prefer the J5523. The J142 is very nice for placing colour in the crease more precisely than the J5523.
Thanks! I did the opposite today, used the 217 to place the color and 142 to blend so I'll give the reverse a try tomorrow. I bought the J5543, and when I tried it with the Dior CB blush, it picked up very little color which is surprising since the brush is so dense! I was starting to get a little worried, but it seemed just fine with I used it with a MAC EDB. Maybe I just got a dud Dior blush

Dear lenchen: I anxiously wait!!
Oh babe I didn't know I would've asked u a long timmmmeee!!! Jehehe Ty for ur review: what types of blushes do u use it the most? Pigmented vs non vs matte vs shimmer ???Quote:Originally Posted by mosha010
Ohhhhh excellent choices. Please review the k020 for us. Ive been curious about it
I know you didn't ask me, but I've had the K 020 for a year now and can give you some input too. It is very soft. It's flexible, not stiff. I know the hakuhodo makers recommend using it flat against your face to pat on your blush, but it also works nicely in swirling motions after to blend the blush in. The only caution is when using it with very dry/hard blushes (like tarte). With some of them it's hard to get color on the brush without feeling like you are digging the brush in. HTH!
I have studiously avoided Imats because I know no good could come of that. I'd pay $40 to get in and then feel like I had to make that back.
I like it for most powder blushes, shimmer and matte alike. As long as the blush isn't too firmly packed, the K020 will do the trick!
I have the B505 blush brush and it is amazing. Soft yet firm and able to pick up powders and apply beautifully. The only downside is it is a little big. I have a Suqqu blush which no brush I had could pick up or deposit any colour, from MAC to Chanel to Suqqu own blush brush, until I use B505. Hakuhodo had a pop-up store for a few days in my country, but only carried limited series, no J and more, and I bought 5 of them, all black hair. B116 BkSL, H601 Pi Slide face, B505 BkSL, B002 BkSL, B005 BkSM. I'm drooling at the collection you ladies have!
