All brushes in the Makie series make abundant use of high-quality gray squirrel and goat hair. They work well with both loose and pressed powder, and apply makeup smoothly. Because they contain Chikuhodo's highest level of volume, these brushes allow you to quickly and effortlessly create porcelain-like skin. 

In addition, a prominent characteristic of the Makie series brushes is their beautiful handles. 
These handles will take your breath away with their traditional Yamanakanuri-style lacquer. (Yamanakanuri is lacquer ware produced in the Yamanaka onsen area of Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning back over 400 years. To make lacquer ware, woodworkers firstly saw the wood, and then lacquer painters paint the wood with lacquer. Lacquer ware from the Yamanaka region is characterized by the quality of wood used, and its production volume.)

Handled with care, these brushes'charms only increase with time. Furthermore, they are handmade one by one by expert craftsmen, so no two handles are alike. You will surely be deeply touched by their uniqueness, and the love the craftsmen have put into them. There is no doubt that your Makie series brush will become precious to you.
