Z-7 Lip / Chikuhodo Z SeriesMakeup BrushGorgeous lip brush
I’ve been looking for a cute lip brush with wide length bristles, this is great, it’s so small when it’s closed, easy to put in my purse, and when it’s open, it’s long enough to use. Very cute lip brush.

T-11 Liquid / Chikuhodo Takumi SeriesMakeup BrushEasy to apply with little amount
I love Chikuhodo T series, this T-11 is great, it’s soft enough and pretty comfortable. I was debating this one and the T-13, but after seeing the reviews from others said T-13 sheds a lot , so I decided to go with this T-11. I’m glad I did, it’s very well made and has not shed yet since I started to used it a week ago.

MK-12 Retractable Blush Brush / Chikuhodo Makie SeriesMakeup BrushLove the Set
I bought all 3 from the Makie retractable brush series, the Powder, Blush and Lip retractable brush. For this Blush brush, it is particularly good for contouring and highlighting because of the smaller brush head. Also good for undereye powder, setting as the size is just right. The Yamanaka lacquer work on this is really exquisite and lovely, I am so happy with it and it is a great buy. I like that it comes with a cover that you can also use as the brush handle, it keeps the brush clean when travelling, great design.

FO-3 Cheek / Chikuhodo FO SeriesMakeup BrushGreat paddle shaped brush
Among the FO series, this and FO-4 are the only ones I got. It is multifunctional in size and shape. Lightweight so can be used if you have tired or achy hands. The green ferrule is beautiful against the light tan wood. It's like cotton on your skin. Definitely soft, even on over-exfoliated and sensitized skin. There is a smell that emanates when wet, but decreases when dry. It applied bronzer more densely than squirrel, but only slightly. I found that these doesn't highlight the radiant particles of baked bronzer, as much as squirrel, but very slightly. It would only require another pass with the FO brush to achieve the buffing effect that gray squirrel has.

FO-4 Cheek, Highlight / Chikuhodo FO SeriesMakeup BrushPerfect directional medium cheek brush
I agree with what they say than they have the softness of gray squirrel with the resilience of goat hair. Even so it still applies product instantly blended, but expect a bit of powder disturbance on the powder, but not as much as when you use pure undyed goat hair. It's like a cotton ball on your skin, which is different from the silkiness of grey squirrel, but still very soft. They have more smell than goat and squirrel brushes that emanates when wet, but not as noticeable when dry. They are shorted than I expected, but don't find it bothersome for face brushes since the bristle lengths make up for it.

KENT2628 Ladies Hair Brush SoftHair BrushesGreat for men with medium length hair
Definitely a nice addition to hair care. I use it the morning after waking up to distribute the oil from my scalp. Just after two days of using it I've notice smoother hair, with less frizz when blow drying even without hair cream and not conditioning in the shower. Just make sure to detangle before hand, and section hair so the the different layers of the bristles can glide on the intended portion of your scalp and hair.

G-ES-01 Eye Shadow Brush / BISYODO GRAND SeriesMakeup BrushAbsolute luxury
I love every single small detail brush in this series. I could use only these eye brushes daily & be happy. Considering my preference for daily use is goat hair that says a lot. Squirrel hair typically isn’t my first choice when it comes to eye makeup. I prefer a more dramatic look that most squirrel brushes can’t give. The Squirrel hair is the highlight quality & exceptionally soft which isn’t surprising considering it’s sold as Luxe. What i did find surprising was the power behind those wonderfully soft bristles. These eye brushes are all densely packed with hair & pick up a nice amount of product giving nice pigmentation at application. Not as pigmentation as goat hair but a very nice alternative that offers a beautiful airbrush effect look no further! Bisyodo has always made beautiful brushes with top quality materials but the Grand Series is on another level. It’s also priced on that top tier level so there is that to consider. If you have the extra funds go for it. You won’t regret getting any of the eye brushes.

[CMP527] Eye Shadow Brush / Mizuho CMP Series BlackMakeup BrushBest blender ever
I love the blender with the pointed tip. Work horse brush, not scratchy. Very easy to use. Great for hooded eyelids!

B-WC-01Dual-Ended Concealer Brush / BISYODO SeriesMakeup BrushPowerful
This duo-end concealer brush are powerful enough to blend in and touch up. The tapered side is tongue shaped; it feels softer and stronger than a flat tipped kolinsky lip brush when spreading concealer. The flat topped end is ultra soft and makes the concealer trace disappears within seconds. It's the best concealer brush I have tried in cream concealer application. I think it will also work well with liquid products (synthetic after all). I took one star off because the tapered side has at least 4 hair trends assembled upside-down, which I had to remove with eyebrow tweezers. I definitely agree with the other two reviewer, this brush was not talked about enough. I've tried lot of weasel and kolinsky lip brush; I have small butter knife shaped weasel brush; I've used synthetic brush in concealer palette or slant touch-up brushes; I've purchased thick pine squirrel and kolinsky brush; however, this brush is the best I've used for cream concealer. The flat topped end is unmatched.

P-F5 Domed Face Brush / Houkodou MOE Sweet Pink SeriesMakeup BrushGreat brush at a great price
I’m a huge fan Houkodou brushes & think the brand as a whole is completely underrated. I have the Brilliant Gold Series brushes in my collection & love them. That being said this was the first brush I tried from the Sweet Pink Series mainly because of the materials used. I rarely buy goat hair brushes because I have so many & even then Saikoho is the lowest grade. This particular brush is made from Sokoho which usually isn’t something I would even consider. Based solely on past purchases from this brand I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The brush head is much softer than I anticipated. I assumed the goat hair was dyed but it isn’t making it less rough. Once washed it blooms beautifully. The material used for the hand is good quality & well made. The pink color has a sparkly finish with a clear lacquer. Size wise it’s not to short & not to long. Perfect for travel. It’s also perfect for powder foundation & all over buffing/Blending. All in all this is a total hidden gem of a brush that should get more love than it does. If you’re looking for a good powder brush at a very affordable price this is it. Take the plunge. You won’t regret it.

KOYUDO Pine Squirrel Eyeshadow Brush 17mm RedMakeup BrushHigh quality
I purchased this brush along with the black handle version a few weeks ago & have been using them daily. It’s basically the same as the BP Series only with a red handle instead of white. The brush head is slightly shorter than the BP028 with less density. It’s not floppy by any means. It has a nice firmness/snap to it that makes it perfect for the one & done shadow looks. The hair is exceptionally soft with no pokes or scratches when using. Safe for sensitive skin. I would love to see Koyudo release a revamped version of the BP Series eye brushes in this red handle. It’s just a beautiful contrast with the black ferrule. This is an excellent brush at an extremely reasonable price point.

Ksz-03 Cheek Brush / KOYUDO Kakishibuzome SeriesMakeup BrushGreat brush to pick up and apply blush
Lovely brush for blush application, picks up product really well and applies smoothly. Don’t need a lot of work or pro expertise. I love this brush for blush. Love the wood handle and the permission dyed tips. Never looks dirty. Love this brush!

LQ-3 Liquid Foundation Brush / Eihodo WP SeriesMakeup BrushGood foundation brush
Blooms a tad bit after washing (no shedding) Decided to go with this brush instead of the Chikuhodo equivalent, because this one had wider hair thickness. I love this brush for a light coverage look (which is where I live most of the time haha). I enjoy smaller brushes for foundation, so I can control how much to put on certain areas. This brush gives a very nice finish without streaks. Used this brush with liquid and cream foundations, and concealers as well. Love the quality of the weasel hairs.

G-B-01 Blending Brush / BISYODO GRAND SeriesMakeup BrushAs functional as it is beautiful
I’m a fan of Bisyodo brushes in general & the new Grand Series is no exception. The eye brushes from this series are absolutely amazing & worth every penny. This brush in particular is a standout imo. It’s rounded instead of tapered with exquisitely soft squirrel hair & medium density making it a blending beast. Hands down my new favorite squirrel blending brush. You can’t go wrong with any of the brushes in this series.
