Flat Eye Shadow Brush G-S1 / Houkodou Brilliant Gold Series

Sorry to see about the previous reviewer getting a bad one, but luckily mine is really soft and excellent! I thought it was the G-S2 at first, and they'd just forgotten to send the right one - they are similar in size - however I love this one MORE! I love the G-S2 and got backups but I wish I'd tried this first, as I'd have spent the backup money on this instead. Mine is almost the same size as the G-S2, I don't know if that is true for every brush as the pictures made it seem way bigger - however it's flat and the slightly bigger size helps as my eyes are not small... soooo smooth and even and I find it more precise for application for all over lid (like a smokey colour)! WHY do they make such good products, I never want to use anything else. I love this one SOOOOOOOO Much!!!!!

As far as the type of the hair goes, this one does not meet the standard, rough and dry--not sure just the batch of hair i got on this brush, i would advise you to take the "grey" hair instead. i will be parting with mine soon...

A beautiful and excellent quality brush, best to apply eyeshadow base. I have similar one from hakuhodo made from blue squirrel, but this houkodou made from canadian squirrel is much more soft.

I love this brush. I really enjoy brushes of this shape and this one is very nice. The brush is bundled very nicely and the quality of the hair is top notch. I use it to place a transition color in and above my crease.

This was my first e/s brush by Houkodou purchased from CD Japan I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of craftsmanship. The brush head is a perfect size for laying down a wash of color, the softness of the hair is fabulous, I would recommend Houkodou brushes to anyone and this brush is a keeper
