Z-11 Blending / Chikuhodo Z Series

I'm hopeful to see this brush here in the future. It's a soft brush with a simple yet an elegant design. The handle of the brush is light. Overall it blends things well creating subtle shades of different colors. This is one of my favorite brush manufacturers

I have small eyes and mature skin. This brush is the right size for blending eyeshadow without tugging at my eyelids. It is so soft and yet blends gently and beautifully. I reach for it the most of all my eye shadow brushes. Dont know what i would do without it.

If you're into Korean makeup, you would've seen how facial contouring is done and this is the perfect brush for doing it imo. I've been using this brush for contouring my nose and eye sockets. It picks up the right amount of pigment each time and is so gentle on my eyes. It might be a little pricy, but its well worth it.

It's ultra soft but still resistant enough to give a perfect blending. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I also have the Mizuho CMP527 Gray Squirrel/Pony, which is a little bit scratchy at certain angles (but most of time not scratchy), I prefer this Chikuhodo Z-11 to Mizuho CMP527, for the softness & beautiful handle.

It is the softest brush I own. Very silky and a great option for those with drier, more delicate lids. When the brush is super soft it moves the skin much less making for a smoother blend on maturing skin.
