Review by A. K.

A great brush and even better price. I would suggest this to anyone to purchase. The goat hair is nice - not terribly soft nor is it scratchy and it definitely gets the job done. Personally, my brush has fluffed up a lot after wash so it does lose its angle but how I'm using it at the moment it's ok. The gold ferrule and white handle is very sleek. I'm excited to see what other brushes are in store for CdJapan's future.

I am extremely happy about this set. It has so far exceeded my expectations. The Cheek Brush is nice but not too dense - I think I'll use it as a highlighter brush and the shadow brushes are quite unique. The smaller I will probably use for the outer V and the regular eye brush would be great to lay down shadow. It certainly has enough spring to grab and hold pigment. The box it came in is also lovely. Different lettering as the Koyudo but essentially the same style. Go for it! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I keep this set in my to-go bag with my other cosmetics. It's hard to find a quality set of mini brushes, so I was excited to receive these after many many failed attempts at purchasing lower quality brushes from other companies. The powder and blush brush are great sizes and are very soft. Softer then any of the mini sets I've tried. The eyeshadow brushes are nice too and perform to standard. The case that comes with it is convenient and carries a number of additional items for me as well (I've added a travel lip brush and fupa-13), and some quick to-go items like; lipsticks, blotting powders, fragrance samples and a powder puff. I only give the 5 Piece Vivid Pink Bush Set - Four Stars... because of the price. I wish it could be more affordable so others can add this lovely piece to their collection.

I'm biased to all soft white goat hair brushes - I really am. They are my weakness and this one is no exception. I truly adore this brush. The size is similar to the Tom Ford brush but not nearly as dense and I would safely say it's twice as soft. So... it'd be perfect for those mid-range blushes, the ones where the color is buildable but not heavily pigmented. But not for use with hard blushes like the TF would be, for more neutral - less pigmented colors and for heavily pigmented blushes I would use the Bp009 - it's gray squirrel and picks up the perfect amount.

A friend recommended this brush to me for powder foundations. I was a little hesitant because often times I use a sponge or powder puff but I heard so many great things - I was willing to give this a shot. Once I received it I loved it IMMEDIATELY! It's super luxe. The handle is gorgeous and weighty and the bristles - the bristles are so amazingly soft. One of the softest in my collection. I don't use it to apply foundation though. Instead, I use this brush to buff in my loose setting powders and the finish is perfection! I now own two! And I would love to own more! I recommend this to anyone who uses powders in their routine - you will not be disappointed.

I believe this is one of my first squirrel/goat hair mix brush. It's not entirely noticeable but - you still know. The brush is OK but it is rather small. I have a hard time deciding what application would benefit best from this brush and right now - I use it as a highlighter brush. Which it works fine for. I would like the handle to be longer as well. I think I could appreciate it and use it more often. This hasn't been one of my favorites but it's still lovely and I know there are others who favor the smaller brushes. This one might just be up your alley.

I have several of the fu-pa brushes! I especially love the tankoho and fu-pa14. But the fu-pa02 comes at a close second. I have both the black and pink and they're in constant rotation with all of my foundation brushes. I use it with a liquid/cream type foundation and the results are amazing. I apply the foundation (pump) directly to the head of the brush. Spot my chin/cheeks/forehead/nose and spread the foundation. After that - I stipple the foundation with the brush to achieve my desired finish. I spot clean the brush after each use but deep clean far less often then I would a synthetic brush.

I purchased this brush with a recommendation from a friend and I'm so pleased I took her advise. It's a great brush, soft yet it has a nice spring. I use it to lay down lid color and the brush is narrow so it fits perfectly in the small UD Naked Palette pans.

This has to be one of my all time favorite brushes. I would recommend it to any-and-everyone! Its lovely, the softest goat hair I've ever felt. It hasn't shed one hair either since I've had it - even through washes. The brush head is rather large and I use it for finishing powders.

Such a lovely brush. I purchased this after I had been using the Suqqu Cheek (and I was not a fan at all - the Suqqu cheek is entirely too small). The BP009 brush head is larger, nearly perfect and if its not as soft as the Suqqu - it is really really really close. I swear it! I'm not sure why it's not on everyone's radar... perhaps soon. But if you purchase this brush I'm sure you'll be happy with it. This brush and the BP006 are the only 2 brushes I've ever considered purchasing back ups for. *I use this brush for highly pigmented blushes, i.e. Tom Ford Narcassist.

A great liquid foundation brush. I also have the black fu-pa02 in rotation so I don't have to wash them as often. I'd also consider a 3rd if Koyudo would come out with an additional design *hint, hint* maybe one similar to the black - but WHITE instead. Ok, I hope someone is listening ;). Anyway, I spray the brush first with MAC Fix+ and then stipple the foundation on, I then blend it in soon thereafter. It leaves a nice finish - I would say close to medium coverage. I haven't noticed myself using anymore foundation but its certainly noticeable because the bristles are white. *I'd be nice if the other fu-pa02's could stand up like the pink.
