I bought all 3 from the Makie retractable brush series, the Powder, Blush and Lip retractable brush. For this Powder brush, it is particularly good for powder touch up during the day. Also good size to be used as cheek blush. 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.
MK-11 Retractable Powder Brush / Chikuhodo Makie Series Customer Reviews
Makeup Brush
The mk-11 is one of my favorite travel brushes its so very convenient and always in my handbag along with its matching little blush brush which are both of the same high quality. They both are super soft, compact, apply powder perfectly, they have never shed any hairs, and the maki-e print is just so very beautiful.
I own both MK-11 and MK-12 but I prefer the size of MK-11 because I only do touch up for my foundation, which MK-12 is design as a blush brush so it's a bit small for powder. Another thing to point out is that MK-11 feels more comfortable than MK-12, the difference between them is that MK-11 is mix with sokoho and MK-12 is mix with horse. I would say if you just want one of the makie series brushes from Chikuhodo, grab MK-11 instead of MK-12, you won't regret it.
I love a traditional craft and pattern, so beautiful. The hair material is soft. But I feel the handle material is thinner. The product is best.
The brush is so beautiful and I love it so much. It is easy to bring around and use. The shipping is quick as well.
