TANSEIDO Red Squirrel Brushes in 3 Different Sizes and Handles: AKA, Take, Shina Take (Bamboo)

[@LisaF_]

I don’t have any red squirrel and the AQ17 with the decorated bamboo handle is beautiful! I think I’ll put that on my holiday list. It’s so unique!!

[@LexiJong]

It's a true luxury brush!

[@louisesharpy]

You explained this so well and no one explained it like you!! Now reds fox is even softer and more huh? They are so pretty would DREAM OF GETTING ONE! So nice. Thank you ❤. I would love your collection. At least 3 ❤

[@LexiJong]

Thank you Louise! I appreciate it!

[@starbellak5154]

Beautiful brushes and very unique. I don't have any brush with red squirrel. Thank you Lexi...for another great video. 🙂

[@LexiJong]

Thank you!

What a perfectly graphic and succinct video on brush fibre differentiation and application. Thank you. I love Fude. I think it has a remarkable history and complexity and an amazing artistry. For me, rephr is a gateway to natural hair bristles. The quality and variety are remarkable and very affordable. The use and care isn’t as problematic as the more fragile natural hairs. I have mature skin and it’s not particularly sensitive but there is nothing as soft as squirrel.

[@LexiJong]

Thank you so much! I completely agree about Rephr. I think they are a great starting point and great workhorse brushes. I'm really happy that they are starting to experiment with some different hair types. Have you tried the fox hair brushes? They are really amazing for softness.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

@@LexiJong I have the Chikuhodo Silver Fox line. They are gorgeous and really great to use. I don’t use them in liquid or cream products. They are too precious. One thing I am really getting into are short handled brushes. I find them easier to use for close work. My eyes are getting older too!

[@elainebines6803]

They have a brilliant site. Love how they've paired the brushes with certain makeup brands. I would like to see next, unusual shaped brushes

[@LexiJong]

Good idea!

[@ShazzaDazzle]

so glad you were gifted some of these beauties. i'm really pining after the AC28 and the AQ17 now

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I hope you can try them sometime.

Hi Lexi, thank you for providing such a thorough overview of these lovely fude brushes. Really happy you were gifted some of these as there is no doubt how detailed you are as well how hard you work on everyone's behalf. 🥰

[@LexiJong]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much Pam!

[@lipstickrulesmylife]

Thank you for this brush review. Very informative on the different hair fibers. I wish I could buy everything!

[@LexiJong]

Glad it was helpful! It's so tough right now with all the brush releases!

[@AnaLopez-zz8rk]

Great fude video as always! So comprehensive and thorough. !

Oh this so tempting, beautiful, and enviable addition to any collection.

[@LexiJong]

I totally agree!

[@landcraftwellness9850]

Ok, now I have to go out and buy some of these brushes! To die for!

[@LexiJong]

They are so nice!

Thanks for watching!

[@SuperSupremeShany]

Hi Lexi! Thank you so much for doing this video. It is so helpful! 🤗I would like to know for the Tanseido AQ17 Cheek Brush is it comparable to both the Wayne Goss The Air-Brush and the Hakuhodo G116BKSL Highlight Brush Round & Flat [HA0240]? I use both these brushes to set my under eyes with translucent powder and would like to use the Tanseido AQ17 Cheek Brush to do the same.

[@LexiJong]

I replied to this comment before so hopefully this is just a KZbin glitch! I have the air brush comparison on the community tab. I don’t have the other one.

[@yuliabudd4401]

Such a great video!! Super interesting and informative Lexi! Thank you. You look stunning in the demos. ❤

Thank you so much Yulia!

more brush videos please they are special videos xo

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

Hi Lexi! Wow! Those are beautiful brushes. Even though I don’t need any more brushes (I gave some away recently), the red squirrel hair is really tempting. I know I have to hurry to make up my mind because, thanks to your video, I expect these will sell out in no time. Gorgeous look by the way! The Valentino pink punk blush isn’t available in Canada yet, nor is the new TF Soleil neige collection (although the display is all a set up). I don’t know what’s going on lately but Sephora Canada is getting stock a lot later than Sephora US. It’s frustrating (plus I am missing out on the sale). Sorry for the rant. Great video as usual.

[@LexiJong]

Thanks Jocelyne! Sephora has been a mess here in the US too but not as bad as Canada. It's crazy that they haven't prepared better for the sale imo. The site is very glitchy for me and I know a lot of people have complained about the app. I haven't placed my order yet from the sale because I had so many problems initially that some of the items I wanted sold out.

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

@@LexiJong I agree. Thankfully, I have a decent collection of makeup and skin care, so I don’t « need » anything on my wish list. Have a great day!

[@LexiJong]

Thanks, you too!

[@Indecencealicia]

Lexi Tfs I enjoy my Tanseido AKA 20 and 14 brush I’m looking at the 28 or the new Tanseido Kazan brushes

[@LexiJong]

I ordered the Kazan brushes and I can't wait to see them when they arrive!

[@elissacox4291]

@@LexiJongam I right that the two Kazan brushes are the same, except that with one of them the ferrule has been pinched? But otherwise they are the same length and volume of hair etc

[@LexiJong]

I think that is right.

[@UnboxLili88]

Oh my goodness, I bought one (AQ17 which arrived yesterday) without realizing they had different handle style options. 😅I wondered why it looked a little different than I was expecting. lol! The shina take looks fun and unique, but the traditional bamboo is the one I ordered by accident and perhaps that ended up being for the best. It has a classic look to it which I will probably prefer in the long run. I was also curious how different the AQ17 is from the AQ20, so I'm happy you were able to share that with us.

[@LexiJong]

I hope you love it Lili! I'm glad this was helpful!

[@celinag9968]

I got the koyodo red squirrel set during the Beautylish card event. They are SO soft. My only red squirrel brushes.

[@LexiJong]

I am so glad you like them!

[@thecrystallibrarian]

I really enjoy your brush videos. I use my Surratt brushes for powders, however I have not found my perfect liquid foundation brush. Any suggestions?

[@LexiJong]

Do you know what you want in a foundation brush? I love the Rephr 31, the Koyudo FUPA02 (natural hair) and the Koyudo F04 (synthetic) for my top 3. Sonia G Jumbo Base and BK Beauty 101 are also favorites.

[@thecrystallibrarian]

​@@LexiJongsoft bristles that buff the product gently into my sensitive skin ...

[@thecrystallibrarian]

@@LexiJong I might need some questions to guide me the right direction.

[@LexiJong]

@@thecrystallibrarian there are a few options. The BK beauty brushes are really nice for that and they feel very soft. Chikuhodo FO-2 is incredible soft and although it is fox hair, some people recommend using it for liquid foundation. I know of a few people who do that because it is best for their sensitive skin even if the brush may not last as many years as it would if you only used it with powders. The Sonia G Fusion brushes like the jumbo base are great because they feel soft yet they are dense enough that you can use them sort of as a sponge/brush hybrid. Those are the 3 softest options imo.

[@LexiJong]

@@thecrystallibrarian does your skin flake easily? Do you prefer light foundations or full coverage? What consistently do you tend to use most - serum, lightweight, or thicker cream foundations?

[@PK-xv1cp]

I prefer the AQ17 as well, it was dense and beautifully hand bundled. The AQ20 was floppy and thinly bundled. My recommendation is pass on the AQ20, and get the AQ28, AQ17.

[@LexiJong]

Great suggestion! Those are my favorites too!
