If you need help converting yen, a good rule of thumb is to cut off the last two digits and the remaining numbers will be an approximate value in dollars. Ex: 1620 JPY~ $16.20
Annie Baum thank you! i know how to convert it, but I'm pretty sure it's not a direct conversion since the rest of their brushes aren't that are on the US Hakuhodo site . the ones in yen are only on the Japan website.
The conversion rate changes daily so there's no trick for a truly accurate count. The trick I replied with is just a basis. I didn't know if you knew how to convert it, but I figured I would reply with it so people who saw your comment would have a quickie guide. :)
Sam, I LOVE you for not mentioning/using Morphe. Really sick of seeing everyone using them. It just starts feeling disingenuous when you know how much money some people are making with them.
You’re one if the VERY few beauty bloggers that has an established but genuine personality on your channel that I really connect to. Very honest, informative content.
Your makeup application is so perfect. I’ve been binge watching your old videos. I know this is an old video but would you please consider doing more makeup tutorials like this look?
Ughhhh Sam, you are such a breath of fresh air. Your makeup is always so flawless and just effortlessly beautiful. So nice seeing a beautiful girl who is just good at what she does (because, well, real talent) and doesn't spend hours in the mirror for a good youtube video (because you're naturally gorgeous.) The best of the best
I love how thorough you are with your brush videos! I also appreciate that you actually tell the truth in that your brushes should last forever (or close to it), so RUclipsrs like Jaclyn Hill who push Morphe for how cheap it is but they also get new replacement brushes for free every few months. You shouldn't need to replace your brushes every year!!
I love watching all of your videos. I feel like I’m not just watching a tutorial or just a video of you showing brushes. I’m watching you give tips and learn from your videos every time.
I love hearing you talk about techniques and why you use a certain product. It's so informative. Refreshing hearing someone talk about a product with actual depth.
You are a fresh drink of cold water on a parched, hot day. THank you, thank you for not clouding a list of quality brushes with any Morphe garbage. Thank you for not giving us yet another coupon code for Morphe junk disguised as a 'Favorite brushes' video. A YTuber that still respects her audience!? Thank you Sam. Thank you. I have had the same brushes for 20 years. That should be the standard.
I knew going into this that I wasn’t going to buy any brushes, but I watch all of your videos because I love your personality and the level of information that you provide! You’re one of my faves!
So excited to see someone talking about quality brushes for once. You have to try the Wayne Goss brushes they are next level, my favourite is the 02 powder brush to set my face and undereyes as it deposits such a fine layer of powder and it's so soft it won't disturb any of your makeup. It feels like a little kitten paw!
Don’t apologize for swearing. The world/ people shouldn’t put pressure on someone to the point they feel the need to apologize for being themselves. I enjoy watching you, swearing and all because your fucking real!! Not some fake ass facade 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 3 thumbs up to you girl
Sam, your heart and soul shines through everything you do! I know these videos don’t get the most views and shit and this is your livelihood, but we keep requesting it and you made this video for us despite you having a shitty time. THANK YOU. Watching you on here and hanging out on Periscope makes me feel like I am hanging with a friend when I’m otherwise alone most of the time, so thank you. I hope you realize even when you’re feeling depressed that you are still INSPIRING others and making people happy and that’s a wonderful mark to be making on the world. Lots of love ♥️
Ashamed to admit I fell into the hype of Morphe....🙄 I bought a ton of their brushes a few years ago when they blew up on RUclips. I know it's very enticing when all your fav beauty bloggers are just raving about them and they're so cheap but save your money folks, they're constantly getting sent new brushes from Morphe so they're not using them over and over. Morphe brushes are just garbage. Most of mine have fell to pieces!! Even my Elf and Real Techniques brushes have outlasted Morphe!! I love my Sigma brushes and they have a awesome warranty on their brushes. If you want disposable brushes that you can use a few times and toss out then buy Morphe otherwise I'd steer clear of Them. Just my opinion.
Such an informative video ! Finally someone who actually explains why they love the brushes instead of just saying "I love it" or "this foundation brush is amazing for foundation" xD
I appreciate you actually talking about other brushes other than Morphe ... I can tell those are truly your favorites.. and love that eye look you have on SO pretty💖💖💖💖😙😍😍
Sigma brushes are the master of detachment! I’ve super glued 80% of those brushes and they time it to happen right after the warranty is up. I adore smith brushes !!
I was just thinking to myself that I wished someone would make a video talking about brushes!!! (Mainly someone who wouldn’t talk about just Morphe lol)
Lindsey Roy I'm planning my haul now lol. I want the foundation, concealer, quill crease, and bigger arrowhead brushes. I may get the smaller powder brush. I also want the KS concealer brush that Sam mentioned at the beginning. I may also get the one she uses for contour. My skin is dry and I barely use any powder, so I need brushes that aren't going to disturb my foundation. It's such a struggle.
Agreed! I also have dry skin. I still powder, but I use more "hydrating" powders like the Armani Luminous Silk Powder foundation. That's a great one if you haven't tried it. It's super smooth and doesn't dry out my skin or disturb my foundation.
You introduced me to smith brushes and I’m in love. I now use mainly Smith brushes.... I met the owner of the company at the makeup show NYC she is just so wonderful! You really are my favorite! Your artistry is amazing and you always inspire me. 💜 thank you!!!
THANK YOU for creating a video about high end brushes that we can invest in as well as for having such in depth tutorials like the "How to use Brushes" video :)
Perfect timing with this video, I’m in need of new brushes! I know you don’t post a ton but I always appreciate the quality of your vids and hope you’re on your way to having more inspiration
What do you think of Wayne Goss brushes? I've invested in the Face Set and the collection so far, and I'm thinking of completing the whole set. So far I love them, but I only have three eye brushes so I'm hoping the rest of them are just as good.
Thank you so much for both of your brush videos. I learned a bunch from them and will continue to reference them. Could you please do a video on how you clean your brushes. Mine never get so super clean looking like yours do. I need some pointers. Thanks so much for all your videos 🙂
I've gotta get those new smith brushes, they look lovely. I love all Hakuhodos tiny brushes, I mean I just love hakuhodo's brushes. Thanks for sharing your faves!
If you want a fantastic light powder brush try the current Wayne Goss Holiday 2017 brush. He advertises it as a highlighter straight blending brush but I use it to sweep an extremely small amount of setting powder onto my face to set my foundation...I am just about to buy a backup I am so happy with it.. Cross-crossed, long blue squirrel hairs, lightly packed brush...perfection. Although pls read the reviews...not everyone is happy but I love it and highly recommend.
Please do a tutorial on this look. I bought the subculture pallet after watching the tutorial you did on it. I really like this look. Another thing I bought after watching you do a first impressions vid was the Georgio Armani eyes to kill eye shadow. I too fell in love with it. This was years ago.
Hello love! :) could you do an updated one of these videos, if brushes have changed. If they haven’t, could you please do an in depth video on how to wash your brushes and sponges correctly. Especially natural hair brushes!
dude your tiny detail brushes are fucking bomb. Also I agree with investing and building on tools in order to help with practicing with each one. Thank you for the encyclopedic descriptions.
Thank GOD for an actual professional, technical, informative video on brushes. Loved it. Very much enjoyed the GOT reference. Glad Kuma seems to not be eating rocks anymore? Also, I didn't even notice all the f-bombs in the last video. What does that say about me?

Your skin looks amazing!!!
Samantha Ravndahl fucking flawless
What eyelashes do you wear?!
Tutorial please 🙏🏼
PLEASE do a tutorial on this look! Your skin is what I just can't stop staring at!! 😍💕 need to know what you used on that base girrrrrlllll
Sam, I LOVE you for not mentioning/using Morphe. Really sick of seeing everyone using them. It just starts feeling disingenuous when you know how much money some people are making with them.
Heather Jackett Right!! I’m SO happy she doesn’t use their brushes! It’s refreshing to see!
My thoughts exactly!
You’re one if the VERY few beauty bloggers that has an established but genuine personality on your channel that I really connect to. Very honest, informative content.
You look frickin radiant in this video! B-e-a-utiful
Sam, you are a fucking delight!
Hi you should create a brush line
Your makeup application is so perfect. I’ve been binge watching your old videos. I know this is an old video but would you please consider doing more makeup tutorials like this look?
You're so articulate when you're speaking. I could legit listen to you talk all day
Sam ❤️ I love your content, you look like an actual angel in this video btw
Delaney Shane I read this comment too fast; thought you said she looked like an alien. 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate F bomb heavy videos, do your thing girl
Same!! 💜
yeah because you're trashy
Say whatever you want, wtf. This is RUclips and it's your channel. People need to stop trying to control other people.
Okay so I really need to get on the Smith train...❤️
Ughhhh Sam, you are such a breath of fresh air. Your makeup is always so flawless and just effortlessly beautiful. So nice seeing a beautiful girl who is just good at what she does (because, well, real talent) and doesn't spend hours in the mirror for a good youtube video (because you're naturally gorgeous.) The best of the best
Your eyeballs look gorgeous!! Tutorial on this look perhaps??
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTS I am team F Bomb Heavy btw
Mariah Leonard love you both 😂
I love how your so honest 😂😂 The hair !!! Lol. Can you please recreate one of your old full glam looks?
I love how thorough you are with your brush videos! I also appreciate that you actually tell the truth in that your brushes should last forever (or close to it), so RUclipsrs like Jaclyn Hill who push Morphe for how cheap it is but they also get new replacement brushes for free every few months.

You look gorgeous and I totally love that you're not afraid to talk about pricey brushes. Love your honesty!!! And you're so beautiful
pretty upset no one has mentioned my “shame” reference yet but ok
Samantha Ravndahl it was much appreciated. I chant shame whenever I can fit it into my daily life.
I was about to! I love you for it! Have you seen the video of GoT as explained by Samuel L Jackson? Please look it up if you haven’t!
GOT - totally! :)
Love GOT also looove when you swear it's just so damn entertaining
Samantha Ravndahl Sam can you do : “how take care of your brushes” video please? How take care, wash ... Thank you 💜
I just love you, you’re the real MVP of the beauty community. 👌🏻
You are a fresh drink of cold water on a parched, hot day. THank you, thank you for not clouding a list of quality brushes with any Morphe garbage. Thank you for not giving us yet another coupon code for Morphe junk disguised as a 'Favorite brushes' video. A YTuber that still respects her audience!? Thank you Sam. Thank you. I have had the same brushes for 20 years. That should be the standard.
Tutorial, please. Your skin looks amazing! My daughter has dry skin, and I understand the struggle. Love how genuine you are.
I knew going into this that I wasn’t going to buy any brushes, but I watch all of your videos because I love your personality and the level of information that you provide! You’re one of my faves!
Yes Sam! It’s like you knew I had nothing to watch on YT lol
So excited to see someone talking about quality brushes for once.

Don’t apologize for swearing. The world/ people shouldn’t put pressure on someone to the point they feel the need to apologize for being themselves. I enjoy watching you, swearing and all because your fucking real!! Not some fake ass facade 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 3 thumbs up to you girl
Hi, excuse me, I need a tutorial on this skin please
thank you for putting all the brushes in the description box Sam! I really want to buy more Smith brushes because of you
Sam, your heart and soul shines through everything you do! I know these videos don’t get the most views and shit and this is your livelihood, but we keep requesting it and you made this video for us despite you having a shitty time. THANK YOU. Watching you on here and hanging out on Periscope makes me feel like I am hanging with a friend when I’m otherwise alone most of the time, so thank you. I hope you realize even when you’re feeling depressed that you are still INSPIRING others and making people happy and that’s a wonderful mark to be making on the world. Lots of love ♥️
I can't get over how far your skin has come! And you are glowing in this video. It's pretty cool to watch your skin journey unfold♥️
Cant stop staring at your eye shadow! Absolutely beautiful.
Ashamed to admit I fell into the hype of Morphe....🙄 I bought a ton of their brushes a few years ago when they blew up on RUclips.

Sigma brushes are the master of detachment! I’ve super glued 80% of those brushes and they time it to happen right after the warranty is up. I adore smith brushes !!
I was just thinking to myself that I wished someone would make a video talking about brushes!!! (Mainly someone who wouldn’t talk about just Morphe lol)
Cassidy Kotara Meee tooo!!
Thank you! I seriously love your brush recommendations. You are one of the first people that introduced me to Smith brushes and I freaking love them!
