That's just the way that cookie crumbles...love that expression.

[@JustMyLifeAsMe]

i need you in my life just to do my makeup everyday omg

[@aliriffic]

You are the most articulate makeup artist I have seen on youtube...you clearly have a vast knowledge of makeup with an impressive vocabulary. You have such a maturity about you, which is remarkable considering your age! Thanks for the awesome videos!!

[@divinefemininee]

As a beginner, my makeup brushes are still from mac and coastal scents. I read makeup artists blogs, and they are all swears by hakuhodo, chikuhodo and rae morris brushes. Thanks for the videos and channel recommendation. You are very knowledgable and love hearing your reviews.

[@Eliza524]

So happy this video is finally here! Your videos sent me into a high end brush research spree months ago and I haven't stopped yet.

[@leahsharp760]

Rae Morris' makeup book is amazing and is known as one of the best in the industry. She is amazing!

[@chtitmog]

I'm an absolute fan of handmade Japanese brushes and Karima, you just made my day with this video! :-D Thank you very much for shouting out your love for them because you're probably one of the rare YT gurus who didn't fall into the overhyped and overpriced "S" brushes! Some Hakuhodo brushes are only a few dollars pricier but the quality just doesn't compare. Anyway, thank you so much for your refreshing, non-affiliated honesty! Lol. xx Davie :-)

[@kimr6482]

I was equally as excited to see Chikuhodo on Beautylish!!! How fabulous is Beautylish in general, they have such a unique and fabulous range of brands... Paw palettes, Wayne Goss brushes, Parisian Spirit, Anna Sui... The list goes on and on! Fabulous selection my dear, although I'm surprised Wayne Goss didn't make your list at all! Have you ever tried his collection? Xoxo

[@karimamckimmie]

I do own some Wayne Goss, I've been impressed with the Collection Eye Brushes, which will feature in my next video :) x

[@kimr6482]

Karima McKimmie that's fabulous, I'm very much looking forward to the upcoming brush videos! Xoxo

[@Susu4B]

I love real techniques brushes too!! And I like how you mentioned brushes that aren't too hyped about here on YT! Those Suqqu brushes look unreal, need them in my life! Gorgeous as always Karima xx

[@thepopquizkid]

YES. I have been waiting for this. Or something like this. Forever. Thank you!

[@Neinii97]

Your makeup looks fantastic!

[@Byhermirror]

Your makeup is beautiful! LOVE fave brush videos, skincare and brushes are the two things in life I feel I can never have too much of. And that Suqqu brush is going on my birthday list, for sure!

[@JeSuisUnPoseur]

You have sold me on all of these brushes! Heart says yes, head says no!

[@muala333]

Even though I can't afford things you talk about, it such a pleasure to listen to you and learn from you. Kiss from Croatia :)

[@KimClark61]

Tutorial on eye look please! Love the eyes!

[@jomoland]

YESSSSS PLEASE!!!!! I LOVE THIS EYE MAKEUP! Tutorial!

[@KristinLBuck]

I just checked out Rae Morris' channel. She is a genius!

[@karimamckimmie]

She is ;) x

[@nilerose11]

Karima could you please do a video on how you wash your brushes? I would also love to know how you wash your beauty blenders - I can't seem to get my completely stain free no matter how thoroughly I wash them. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! ♡

[@lovebylaura]

I feel that I can trust your recommendations, you seem very honest and you're supertalented! Thank you, great video :)

[@rielle89]

Thank you for all your videos Karima, they're always informative and entertaining. Your accent takes me back since i used to live in australia. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sweden :)

[@xxgoodnevil17xx]

Love this video! Died gonna try to pick up a few of these. I've been wanting to branch out into higher end brushes but wasn't sure where to start! I have some hakuhodo eye brushes and love em!

[@kirribear4]

This is very helpful! Especially for a fellow australian :) love all the videos x

[@dearcupcake8]

Just bought the Marc Jacobs bronzer brush and I'm absolutely in love!

[@GirlyTipsEtc]

Great mentions here, a lot of brushes I've never tried but would love to try in the future. Your makeup looks beautiful. You are beautiful! XO

[@oonallee]

Thanks for sharing I too have a make up brush addiction! 😁Loving the Rae Morris channel she's amazing 😍👌 xx

[@amandaacosta1267]

Tutorial PLEASE!! :DD that purple and yellow are the perfect shades for each other! :)

[@shreelaxmi1000]

thanks for mentioning Rae Morris..she is amazingly talented,..

[@khammock9]

Do a tutorial on your eye makeup please! That look is fantastic!! Or share what eye colors and products you used. I love it!

[@nixeenix15]

Love your makeup here!

[@mihikaagarg2949]

OMG Karima you look stunning in this video!! Please please do a tutorial!!

[@luvmypup-_-6955]

I too love the Rae Morris "Ultimate Cheek Brush" it is the only brush of hers I have so far as the shipping to USA is costly. I'm hoping beautylish will start to carry them soon. I love how the brush does all the work for me.

[@e1LL3]

you are amazing!!! deserve way more subscribers!!!

[@rosa_gilly]

Great video, thanks!

[@Mahamaven]

thanks for sharing! saw some products I hadn't seen before :)

[@TheYengirl]

I found dups for the expensive Japan brushes at the Madison Art Shop. They are exactly the same quality and texture but half the price. They are called the DaVinci Mop Brush (blue squirrel) and I have the # 8,6,4 and 2. They are half the price and are soft as anything. Since they are technically used for art, they clean beautifully and have no shedding.

[@amaliavet]

Thank you for sharing this , I cannot afford . Big hugs from Greece !

[@TheYengirl]

You're welcome. We have to stick together when we find good stuff that is affordable!

[@kelsy-leighroberts8297]

This is so helpful♡♡♡

[@october2534]

For anyone who are looking for a perfect brushes RMK @ Selfridges is the answer they are as great as Suqqu but half the price , all of their brushes are made from grey squirrel hair which is super soft. very recommend

[@fionabohan8825]

Great video Karima! Though I have never tried it, the Too Faced teddy bear hair liner brush seems very similar in shape to the Chanel brush. It looks like it tapers to a very fine point, perfect for that "scribbling motion" that you mentioned. Only catch is it comes in a five piece set so you might not be interested in the other brushes. Hope that helps:)

[@Evieevebigcheeks]

You made me want to through out more or less all of my brushes! Well, not my RT contour brush cos I also love that one but the rest....I think my hubby needs to get an extra job cos I'm going shopping!!! ;-)

[@danielardh]

Just started following u on Instagram...Love your tutorials!

[@shmoopiedo]

Billy B has a wonderful brush set if you can get hold of them. I wish Rae would do some more tutorials!!!

[@danielardh]

Thanks for the hooded eye tutorial recommendation. I'm young but tend to have hooded eyes and I'm always looking for new techniques! Greetings from Texas;)

[@nokkatwa]

Karima You have such a great great great taste. I have been buying many things you recommended, especially those wonderful face and eye brushes. I happened to love them all😍. Keep up the good work. Much love from your fan In Thailand 🇹🇭

[@susant7807]

Love your eye look.

[@amperstandheart]

I'm a brush addict as well (please don't make me 'condense' for taking on holiday!!) and I own some high end brushes, but I haven't picked up any SUQQU, Chikuhodu or Hakuhodu. A great multitask eye and multitask face are first on my list so I'll definitely be checking out your recommendations! Also, I had to give makeup thanks to beautylish when I recieved the email about stocking Chikuhodu. Then I stalked the brushes, of course. Can't wait for the eye brush video xx

[@eleonorascifo5454]

i love your eye make up here. you have to show how to apply eyeshadow like this cause you are verry talented.

[@makeuplover25]

You know you need to do a eye tutorial on this look right?? :) :)

[@sopralapancacampa]

I absolutely love you makeup. Please, make a tutorial :*

[@luciademiguel5866]

I would love a tutorial of this look!

[@dinasaleh9557]

I just bought the Chanel 24 brush it's not discontinued in K.S.A.

[@kusumpriyashi5592]

i love the way you talk

[@Doodlewithrachel]

I love the Real Techniques contour brush as well, and i use it a ton :) Have you tried Sigma brushes?

[@NeemShow]

please we want to see a makeup collection video and your brushes collection

[@HopesNDreamslive]

Love the eyeshadow can you please do a tutorial :)

[@ireneisabel13]

Tutorial on the eye makeup please!!!!!

[@SyneadToomeyMusic]

Your makeup is gorgeous! Are you planning a tutorial?

[@BehonestBeauty]

Orenji here, I found that the RT buffing brush blows their EFB out of the water for blending. Still looking for it out there, lol

[@karimamckimmie]

Tbh I wasn't a huge fan of the EFB, it's nice and all but I prefer the buffing. x

[@PSILoveBecca2]

Hi Karima! I just love your videos so much! I was wondering if you could help me (I don't know what to do) I have really pigmented cheeks, nose and chin...and also some freckles. Since watching your videos I have tried not covering my face with loads and loads of makeup. I was wondering if there is a foundation you would recommend for me. I have been liking just putting foundation on my nose and chin but my face gets quite oily! I just don't know what I should do as far as what foundation to use and how to apply it!! Thank you so much!!

[@schavda20]

I am a fellow brush addict!!

[@karimamckimmie]

Hi5!

[@chtitmog]

Also, the No7 smokie brush reminds me of the Chanel #24 one. I don't know how they actually compare since I've never tried the Chanel one but maybe it would be worth taking a look at it, especially for the price. ^^

[@karimamckimmie]

I purchased the No7 brush, actually. It's a bit scratchy (boo) but the shape is right (yay). x

[@LaurenNicoleXOXO]

Very beautiful

[@chanelyellow]

I use Sigma F68 for concealing and it looks similar ro the Chanel one. Try it, it works wonders for me! :)

[@karimamckimmie]

Interesting, I'll take a look! Thank you :) X

[@scm4375]

Sorry to ask you so much, but I appreciate your opinion on make up brushes. -Are G504 comparable to RM#3 ? -What shape are you more found of: teardrop (I.e. J203) or flat and round (G501) for face -don't like to see white (saikoho) brushes with stains but since I have sensitive skin which would be the best option goat (black) or goat + blue squirrel? Thank you very much.

[@HautHeather]

Koyudo brushes sold on the CDjapan website make some fabulous mid-price brushes. I think the C011 Small Pencil Brush / Koyudo C Standard Series may be very similar to the channel concealer brush.

[@jackieO144]

Which brush would u say compares to the wayne goss 11 in size? The chikuhodo z4 or z8?

[@scm4375]

Need advise on choosing face brushes. Finishing: kokutan LAG ,( blue sq+synthetic) , B002 (Blue Sq), G5542 ( smaller than previous but slanted, blue sq+goat), G501 ( blue sq+goat, dense as G505 I believe) For hourglass ambient light powder and loose setting powder , but I also need for compact mineral foundation ( the one I use comes with an sponge that I can't manage well) Would very much appreciate your opinion and advise. Love your videos they are always very interesting.

[@Gracefilled5]

Have you ever tried them Louise Young Brushes?

[@287firey]

Doesn't Chikuhodo manufacture Suqqu?

[@beckyj1617]

Love the eyeshadow! Is it the Charlotte Tilbury Vintage Vamp shadows? The colours look really similar.

[@karimamckimmie]

Similar shades! I used Makeup Geek eyeshadows, mostly bitten and gold digger. x

[@Sarahf-97]

Are there any brushes that you use to apply foundation?

[@elisitac]

Fun fact for you, Chikuhodo actually makes Suqqu brushes

[@karimamckimmie]

Correct, but they're still different in function (in my experience). x

[@lisae201]

Almost $1000 worth of brushes here in this video alone. Wow.

[@nicoleta8378]

What lipstick you used? The eyes are stunning😉

[@penpenkiler]

I saw you own Zoeva brushes and would like see a comparison between Zoeva and others, especially Real Techniques and Sigma. :)

[@tammyjovanovic1129]

Which large powder brush would you recommend?! I am SO torn between the Saqqu Face Brush and (waiting for) the Rae Morris Brush 22. Also considering the Wayne Goss 00, Chikuhodo Z1 and Chikuhodo Z9. Hope to hear back!

[@karimamckimmie]

I don't often use large brushes for face powder but occasionally I'll use the Rae Morris Pro Powder 22. xx

[@nanivon]

Love the eye makeup! But I felt the whole look lack something.

[@ARGIRO248]

Brush addict here too.have you try koyodo?i love koyodo i have o lot of them!how chikuhodo compare to hakuhodo and koyodo?

[@karimamckimmie]

Not yet, but I'd like to! x

[@fruitless0]

Hi, I am always having this problem. How do you pack your brushes when traveling? And how do you keep them daily? Thank you

[@karimamckimmie]

I travel with a brush roll and I store them flat in a drawer. xx

[@casseyelsie2824]

I am going to Japan this coming June. I'd love to know where is Chikuhodo Store/Outlet. I went to a store that sells Chikuhodo and other brqnds, not a store dedicated to only Chikuhodo. So they don't carry the whole range. Please share with me. Thanks.

[@costak7803]

How did you buy ur Suqqu brushes? Can anyone help me buy these Suqqu brushes??? please and thank you =)

[@jocelync8236]

where can i buy the suqqu cheek brush?

[@stephaniecee88]

what lippie were u wearing here? Love it!!!

[@karimamckimmie]

Boots No7 Lipliner in Nude (all over the lips, topped with balm). xx

[@Amuser2Bone]

could u please talk about ur hair color???? i love it!!!

[@karimamckimmie]

I'm afraid it doesn't have a name! I had a dark ash brown put through it but it's mostly faded. x

[@thesmellofyou]

Karima McKimmie Hello ! What lipstick are you wearing in the video? looks fab, a very wearable nude ! x

[@Liselorebon]

so the next question would be: how do you wash them? Of course, if it's just how everybody washes their brushes, there is no need to go into this!

[@elizabethnorth5982]

How about the Kevyn Aucoin Concealer Brush? It's rec'd by LE and looks very tapered & pointy

[@karimamckimmie]

I own this, terribly scratchy :( Not ideal for delicate skin/sore blemish, in my opinion. x

[@elizabethnorth5982]

Karima McKimmie Have you tried the RM Radiance brush? Thoughts?

[@melovetolaugh6417]

the eye makeup! where's the tutorial??? we need it! pleeeaseee

[@Congluo]

Dunno if Beautylish’s brushes have same quality as those sold in Japan as Japanese normally keep the best in their own country

[@Maggiel]

You have a dark line inside the inner corner of your left eye o.o

[@beautyover6018]

I own 300 plus and I won’t stop

[@bakuryu360]

Suqqu brushes are actually manufactured by chikuhodo

[@paparadhwatcharapong5392]

I thought I've seen young Brigitte Bardot. Very gorgeous, gal ☺️☺️☺️

[@paparadhwatcharapong5392]

Don't know why? U remind me of Brigitte Bardot. 😉😉😉
