CB Red Squirrel Blush / Highlight Brush

I had this brush for around 4 or 5 months before I started to use this brush regularly. Initially, I liked that it was the softest brush in a collection of Japanese makeup brushes made with valuable hairs such as Red Squirrel, Canadian Squirrel and long Gray Squirrel hairs. Canadian Squirrel hair is more rough than Grey Squirrel, which is itself more rough than Red Squirrel. I started to compare this brush by testing it use in the application of blush against the application of blush with the use of brushes made with Canadian Squirrel and Grey Squirrel. I realized after intensive cross comparison in the application of blush that this brush picks up color as intensely as Canadian or Grey Squirrel. Now it is my first go-to brush when applying blush. It allows me to shade color both as lightly or as intensely as I desire. It was only after I compared its use against my other brushes made with very high quality hairs that it became so clear that Red Squirrel is as high quality as it is. It is clear that Red Squirrel hair is worth the high prices we are willing to pay for it.

I love, love, love this brush. It's soooo soft. It's even softer than my Chikohudo z-8 brush & I thought my Chikuhodo was soft!!! I am so pleased I purchased this brush. I actually bought it to set powder under the eye/highlight area. I have textured skin below my eye area so if i apply too much powder it will emphasize my textured skin so I am so so happy I purchased this brush. Red squirrel hairs are by far the best there is out there & I would not hesitate to buy it again. I am definitely checking this website for more red squirrel brushes. Thank you CD Japan for making awesome brushes.
