CH-HC Highlight Cheek Brush (Round) / Uyeda Bisyodo Cheri SeriesMakeup BrushPerfection!
This is the best brush for the price. And probably the one that makes me feel most secure that my highlight will look great. It applies softly, quickly, and evenly with no lines of where it starts and ends which makes it look more natural. Don’t need to worry about blending edges. This is better than most of my more expensive brushes

B-H-01 Highlight / Cheek Brush / BISYODO SeriesMakeup BrushThe entire line is amazing
Entire line is so luxurious. They look and feel amazing. And perform perfectly too. This one applies highlight not very precisely so you don’t have to blend too much. It can also apply blush perfectly. I even use it to apply finishing powder on the center of the face. The length and density of the brush combined was genius.

B-H-02 Highlight / Cheek Brush / BISYODO SeriesMakeup BrushPerfect
The length of these bristles are perfect for any size face. They are also super soft and flexible, but dense enough to apply a good amount onto face without it being too much. Hard to explain how perfect it is. ONLY CON!!!!…. The bristles aren’t bundled perfectly. For some reason, this brush looks like the bristles were chopped with Scissors.

FO-5 Eye Shadow / Chikuhodo FO SeriesMakeup BrushFLUFFY
Bought this to try the quality of fox hair. IT’S SUPER SILKY and blends my concealer like a DREAM. I know it’s not mean for cream or liquid products but this is the BEST for me for concealer.

BZ-1 Domed Foundation Brush / Houkodou HAKU Series GoldMakeup BrushOMG!!!!!!!!!
MY FAVORITE PURCHASE EVER!!!! It’s so soft, dense, but you still get the movement and flexibility. While it feels like a cotton on the skin, i can tell it’s sturdy. No hair coming out of the ferule.

[MB133] Eye Liner Brush / Mizuho MB SeriesMakeup BrushHOLY GRAIL!!!
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED MY EYELINER BRUSH TO BE!!! Super soft YET firm enough to have control over application. It’s super precise and thin, and not bendy. Idk how to describe it anymore, but PLEASE dont think twice on this brush. You wont regret. I PROMISE

RR-S3 Eye Shadow Brush / Chikuhodo Regular Series RedMakeup BrushSMALL BUT VERSATILE
What surprised me with this brush is how well it works with matte eyeshadow and glitter formulas. It works wonders with my Pat McGrath Labs eyeshadows.

LQ-3 Liquid Foundation Brush / Eihodo WP SeriesMakeup BrushOH BOY!!!
I cant even begin to explain how this tiny little thing made me forget my beauty blender exists. And when I say that, don’t take it lightly for I’ve been so loyal to my beauty blender for over 10 years. STREAK FREE finish and made my foundation look like a second skin. Super soft on my ULTRA sensitive skin! And if you are the person who’s skeptical about getting this because of its size, I swear I did my foundation with this faster than my beloved sponge. I dont even need to go back on the area thrice to give me my desired finish. It is BEST for foundations with runny consistency and skin tints. Works well too with ALL of the Nars Foundation as a reference for the consistency. I highly recommend it!!!

P-F5 Domed Face Brush / Houkodou MOE Sweet Pink SeriesMakeup BrushHOLY GRAIL!!!!!!!!!
I swear this is the cheapest brush out the batch I ordered from CDjapan, but this is what I am MOST impressed with!!! So damn soft! Bristles have the perfect amount of density, not to much to the point that it’ll drag what’s underneath, but enough to give an airbrushed finish to the skin. My one and done brush for setting/finishing powder, bronzer and blush and it blends like a dream. I have combination and ultra sensitive skin, but my skin loves this so much!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Koyomo nadeshiko Pearl Pink Blush BrushMakeup BrushIM IN LOVE!!!
When this brush arrived, I wasnt home. So i let my mom opened my package. Out of all the brushes I told her to try and feel, this was the brush that gave her a surprised look. ULTRA SOFT! And I could attest to that when it’s my turn to try it. I used it the way I imagined I would—setting my powder. It has a nice spread and a great spring back that is perfect for pushing the powder in to my ultra sensitive skin. Never pokey and irritating to me. But I aint gonna lie, it’s true that it sheds like crazy. I hope it’s just at the beginning and will stop after the first few uses because I love it so much I plan to get a backup.

fu-pa02 CB Foundation Brush / Koyudo fu-pa SeriesMakeup BrushA brush that's a sponge that's a brush
I find sponge tedious to use. Yes the finish is good but you have to dampen it first and because of it's shape it's not exactly high on portability. Fu-pa02 is it for me, if not better. I find myself swiping or bouncing this off my face like a sponge, it's that dense and soft, and bouncy, no pricking. The finish is subtle, elegant, even. I love it, it's my sponge with a handle only it feels more luxurious and more enjoyable to bring and clean.

Koyomo hana Walnut Shibucha 3-Piece Brush SetMakeup Brushbeautiful set
Such a special set of brushes! Makes the makeup ritual feel like a moment of self-care and history (if that isn't too much of an exaggeration lol!). Beautiful to the eye and in the hand and the koyomo hairs are very silky yet resilient. Some of my favorite fude.

B-ES-01 Eye Shadow Brush / BISYODO SeriesMakeup BrushAnother winner from Bisyodo
Well made, with soft hairs and awesome bundling. This is great for one and done eyeshadow, contouring the nose ( especially great size) and also the cheekbones. Because of its denseness, this brush can be used to pat on glittery eyeshadow especially those baked glee type formulas as it can pick up a good amount despite the softness of the hairs.
-
G-HC-01 Highlight Blush Brush / BISYODO GRAND SeriesMakeup BrushAmazing!!!
I am always impressed with Bisyodo's brushes, the workmaship and the bristles are just awesome. The wood handles are smooth and finely textural at the same time imparting a really calming feel when held. The bristles are soft and silky imparting just enough highlighter on the cheeks and browbone. This can also be used to contour the nose. Not the densest brush around, but just the way I like it for a subtle application of product. Can also be used for blusher products.

CH-P-03 Powder Brush (Round) / Uyeda Bisyodo Cheri SeriesMakeup BrushBeautiful, soft brush!!
Though this is a more affordable Bisyodo brush, it is among some of the softest brushes I own.I have brushes from their long and short African wood series and the Alba series and these are all fantastic. I use this brush for powder and buffing with Guerlain Meteorites finishing powder. Great brush!!
-
FO-9 Powder brush/ Chikuhodo FO SeriesMakeup BrushGreat brush for face powder
This brush cemented my love for fox hair brushes. It is very dense and yet so soft. It fluffed a lot after wash and can cover the face quick for a fast and light coverage of powder on the face; it builds up powder coverage not to slow or too fast. Perfect for a sensitive face. I wouldn’t use this for buffing though. For that a Rephr 22 in a similar shape and size but goat hair would work
-
T-13 Foundation BrushMakeup BrushAwesome foundation brush
I love the rounded shape plus it will bloom a lot more after washing when you first get it. Swirl to your hearts content. For those with skin that sometimes have flakiness, hold the brush further away from the bristles therefore the buffing / micro exfoliating won't be so intense. I think for these types of skin type , using a sponge would probably be more appropriate. However someone may have flaky dry skin but not be as sensitive then this brush may be fine.

[CMP510] Foundation Brush / Mizuho CMP Series BlackMakeup BrushGreat value and workhorse brush
perfect size for smaller faces, applies foundation in a skin like finish. Mizuho is a very underated brand, and this brush being an awesome value for money is great for a working professional as well. it is also so soft. Can be used also with cream blush and cream contouring. Because of the longer bristles it will apply blush and contour quite sheerly, but this is not a bad thing .

YS-SET5 Eye Brush Set / Yakusugi HandlesMakeup BrushGreat starter eye set
This is an amazing eye set for the person starting out in Japanese Fude. Possibly not the cheapest set around, but the quality is unsurpassed. I think this is a great starting middle price point set. This set comes with an elegant and ergonomic handle. The large squirrel hair brush is soft but abit on the big side for targeted application of eyeshadow , however it is great for applying and all over sweep of one colour eyeshadow. Great size for highlighting the cheek and under the brow bone. The smaller pine squirrel brushes are great for more targeted application of eyeshadow. The other tiny small brush made from tamahair is great for drawing eyeliner with powder shadows as well as applying just that little bit of sparkle in the inner corner of the eye. The eyeliner brush looks like the same one in the cheri collection made from weasel hair so is great for wet products ie cream or gel eyeliners. The eye brow brush made from badger hair is great for applying eyebrow gel or pomade. Needless to say, this is a great little starting out brush set and also a good size for travelling.
