Thank you so much for putting the brush names at the end, Milly! As a Deaf person, who relies on captions, CC often misses names and details that are not standard, so I wasn't able to find the brushes by name until you laid them out at 27:14. Thank you!

[@whatsupbeauty]

Thank you so much for including our brushes! So happy to hear that you are enjoying using them! Your support is really appreciated!

[@fourducksoriginal]

I keep trying to do work but this video is such a must-watch and has most of my attention. I intend to keep referring to this in future. The labeled brush comparison shots alone are gold. This video is a true encyclopedia for any eye makeup user in or with access to the markets of the brands you highlighted. Thanks so much for your hard work on this very needed and super useful video, Milly!

[@barbiek0715]

Thanks!

[@yumilee1022]

You are not only the multichrome queen but also small eyeshadow brush queen! 👸 Thank you for all the effort to put this video together. My favorites are Rephr and cannot go back to synthetic brushes.

[@PinkCatEyes]

I use Rose Hip Oil to shape and condition my natural hair brushes

[@teganmacgregor6492]

When I got some rephr brushes, it changed the game for me. I can blend shadows with ease in less time. Before, I had only sigma synthetic and they are good quality brushes but natural hair bristles work a lot better.

[@brennaeve6]

That’s it. I think I’m biting the bullet and buying Rephr brushes. You’ve convinced me. Not sure if you’ve already done a video but I’d love to know how you clean/take care of your natural hair brushes? The Rephr brushes will be my first natural haired brushes and I’m not an expert on how to take care of them at all. Thank you so much for this video. So helpful and informative!!

[@HER-icaneForceProductions]

Wow, what an awesome breakdown! I've been watching the Rephr site like a hawk waiting for #21 & #23 to become available again, and they just arrived today!! I'm so excited to try them...and PSA: EVERYTHING IS BACK IN STOCK AND THEY'RE HAVING A SITE-WIDE SALE! So I just went back to pick up #13 & #14.

[@00Just_Another00]

Revlon have great brushes with unique shapes. Also eco tools have tiny brushes. I know these are synthetic brushes. I also use water colour brushes as makeup brushes as they are under 2- 5 dollers and are fantastic for shimmers!

[@Iamyl4]

I had no idea that revlon had brushes! Where do you buy them from?

[@kaitlinbeste]

I need like a condensed version of your most favorite! I would get them all!!

[@badtothebrow]

All the Rephr brushes I mentioned plus the T63 from MakeupShack 😁

[@ampersignia]

Wow I appreciate this video so much! I have such strong preferences with my brushes now that most of mine end up scratching my lids or are just too big in shape from drugstore/widely distributed brands. Two of my favorite 10-ish brushes are from random cheapie sets I got in Forever 21 13 years ago ... but I don't want to bet on random sets like that anymore so I was looking for a detailed comparison post like this. Thank you!

[@setarehsh3749]

Oh my gosh! Yes, totally here for this! Thank you! 😊

Love the Rephr brushes, for the face and for hooded eyes. I learned about them from you.

[@badtothebrow]

[@beautifuldisater]

I still like my sigma e25 and e27 but rephr are my favorite, they blend so well 🥰I also have a crown brush I got in a subscription box,it works so good for how inexpensive 🤔

[@TheHersaWay]

Omg excited to watch this, I love Rephr brushes and I love learning tips and tricks!

[@Iamyl4]

Rephr brushes really change my eyeshadow application and I love them

[@JessyLovesYou]

Needed to get some smaller blending brushes so this video couldn't have come at a better time. Budget friendly ones that aren't prickly & huge seem to be hard to find. The makeup shack ones looks good, thanks for taking the time to make this video :)

[@barbiek0715]

This is my DREAM video Milly!!!! I am about to die watching this. Thank you SO much for doing this.

[@badtothebrow]

It’s been on my list for film for literal years 🙈🤣

[@barbiek0715]

@@badtothebrow LOVE YOU!!!

[@tiffanyweisse6544]

Fantastic Milly! Honestly smaller eyes or not, precision is always key. Control is everything. I commend you for this video. It’s most excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@badtothebrow]

So truee 💯

[@that_girl555]

I picked up the Blend Bunny set. Thank you for explaining the brushes, differences and why you found them useful.

[@swood2603]

I am making a Rephr purchase now based on your recommendations. Thank you.

[@badtothebrow]

🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

[@richardwright9292]

Very useful in-depth video! Thank you.

[@asha.m]

Thank you!! This is so helpful! I would have loved to see the Makeup Co video as I'm near the vegas store until next week 😊 I'll be checking it before I leave.

[@pinuppyjamaparty]

Great video! Very informative for us hooded eye ladies. Will you still be doing a dedicated video for makeup shack brushes? Thank you!!

[@ceciliagovea]

Milly, will you be reviewing the new Singe brushes from Angelica? I'd love to see your review since you are so so detailed!

[@badtothebrow]

I might! Not sure when yet

[@ceciliagovea]

@@badtothebrow I saw that they're having a Memorial Day sale, I might buy them!

[@angiec.874]

I wish you had included the price on the screen or links for each brand, even if there were no affiliate links.

[@badtothebrow]

There are too many brushes for me to link.

[@celinag9968]

Amazing video! I’ve watched and rewatched and ordered a few. I have really deep set eyes that are slightly hooded, so thanks!

[@kaitlinbeste]

I LOVE this video it was so thorough I am searching for more brushes I have the rephr but I think one kw anted was sold out and thanks for the tips! I started using a microfiber towel but I kinda wonder if the one on the chikahoudu I know I spelled that wrong lol is any better

[@coastlines]

This is SUCH a useful video -- thank you! Do you recommend the Lunar Beauty eye brush set? I only use synthetic brushes and also have hooded eyes. I remember you mentioning they were quite small when you first got them, but now I wonder how they've held up over the months since none were mentioned.

[@margotcnm]

omg I wanted to buy the makeup shack brushes sooo bad but they do not ship to France 😭

[@Queenofcats36]

I know have an entire bookmarks folder dedicated to makeup brushes!!

[@badtothebrow]

[@TheCouchPotatoWatchesTV]

Thank you so so so so much for this video Milly!!!! I have hooded eyes too and this was super helpful!

[@abdulazuzadel4768]

hi, Milli, great video. Sonia G. has great brushes, too.

[@ginkgobilobatree]

Rephr no. 21 is synthetic btw - I think it's the only one they have that is synthetic.

[@badtothebrow]

It says it’s a blend of natural and synthetic

[@ginkgobilobatree]

@@badtothebrow Thanks! I thought it was only their 28 brush that was a fiber mix.

[@ginkgobilobatree]

Also, I so much appreciate all of the comparisons that you do. It is a lot of work, but makes your channel uniquely useful, in my opinion. Love it.

[@SamanthaMargara]

So helpful

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

Very interested in what you recommended! I love my hakuhodo and wayne goss small blending brushes best, with hakuhodo slightly beating out wayne.

[@amandaford864]

Have you ever tried profusion pro brushes? I love their eyeshadow brushes.

[@badtothebrow]

I didn’t know they had brushes!

[@MakeupwithMichelle]

Yesssssssssssss!!! From a fellow hooded eye gal 😍💜

[@celestialgutter]

😁🙏🏼👏🏼 Very helpful, thanks!

[@ReneeTopanga]

I've been using a vera mona switch with my rephr brushes, if I shouldn't use that what would you recommend instead?

[@badtothebrow]

A microfiber cloth!

[@MilyxxMily]

Great vid

[@badtothebrow]

Thanks!

[@cynthiavaldez1182]

❤️❤️❤️

[@asha.m]

I only have Sigmas, Zoevas and Rephr but I want to expand 😃

[@jaycreswell7008]

Brush guards whilst they dry ... will keep their shape.

[@badtothebrow]

For sure! I have way too many brushes to do that with 🤣

[@jaycreswell7008]

I only use them whilst the brush is drying. I have a pack of 20 and over 200 brushes easily. Some of my brushes are over 30 years old and get used and washed monthly and are still in like new shape. The brush guards were a game changer for me.

[@valerijao]

As far as I know hair grow from follicles but don't have it later on.

[@loretta_3843]

It's as if you

[@afrodykeeism]

Are the rephr 15 and sigma e35 similar? I’ve been meaning to pick up the 13 and 14 from rephr sale since I like the sigma e27 e33 and e42 but I also lost my e35 so I was wondering if I should get the rephr 15 too to fill the gap of a larger blending brush for blowing stuff out on my hooded deep set eyes but maybe the 14 will suffice and I don’t need the 15

[@afrodykeeism]

Also is there a hakuhodo brush in the same shape/size as the sigma e27?

[@badtothebrow]

I don’t have the e35 but based on photos it is not the same as the rephr 15, different shapes and materials. Which hakuhodo brush? The e27 is a flat blending brush i dont think i have anything comparable from hakuhodo

[@afrodykeeism]

@@badtothebrow the e35 is like the sigma e38

[@afrodykeeism]

@@badtothebrow also do you find the rephr 14 sufficient enough for blending out transition shades or do you find yourself wanting something like the rephr 15. The hakuhodo brushes I’m considering are the b152 the j242 the g5513 and the j5523 but those will be down the line. Thanks again

[@badtothebrow]

@@afrodykeeism I do because I have small hooded eyes, I don’t use the Rephr 15.

[@afrodykeeism]

Do you find the hakuhodo b142 more useful than the rephr 15? I hear it’s slightly smaller and more tapered than the rephr.

[@afrodykeeism]

Are there any sigma brushes that compare to the rephr 13?

[@badtothebrow]

No there aren’t

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

The detail blending brush from Samantha Ravndahl's collab set is the closest to Rephr 13. The 13 is a bit more stiff but if you prefer vegan brushes and have hooded eyes then i do recommend Samantha Ravndahl's Sigma set.
