BP043 Eye Liner Brush / Koyudo BP High Class SeriesMakeup BrushOne of my go to's!
I was looking for a brush to smudge pencil liners when I bought this brush. It turns out to be smaller than expected, and it has too much give to smudge pencil liners. So I bought a different brush for that purpose, the C008. As for this BP043, I use it for shadow liner instead, and here it excels. On occasions, I have also used it for my brows and it's great there also.

fu-pa11-p Concealer & Highlighting Brush / Koyudo fu-pa Series PinkMakeup BrushAdorable little love!
Now THIS is a multi-tasking brush! I use it for bb cream application around the mouth area as well as under the eyes like concealer. The angled shape is excellent for reaching into the outer corners of the nose and the inner corners of the eye area. I also use it to apply eye primer, and thanks to it size this application takes 2 swipes flat and my entire lid area is covered! I do wish it's a touch firmer, but for its divine softness I don't have anything to complain about. LOVE.

C019 Shift Brush / Koyudo C Standard Series BlackMakeup BrushSo glad I gave it a chance!
I was actually contemplating the C020 and read online somewhere that people weren't too impressed with it. So I opted for this C019 instead, it having a round top instead of a flat top as in the C020. So glad I went for it! This is an excellent brush to dust on highlighter, especially for the eye area, as it offers excellent shimmer control. I've also used it for pigmented powder brush and it offers excellent color control there as well. The description say it's a multi-tasker brush and that it can be used for liquids also. However, I would have to disagree - this brush is too sparse and too soft for any liquids, but otherwise it's marvelous!

C008 Small Eye Shadow / Koyudo C Standard Series BlackMakeup BrushNifty little smudger brush!
I bought this brush not expecting much, but it turns out to be quite nice. The hair is kolinsky and is soft on my skin but at the same time firm without having too much give. This makes it a great smudge brush and I use it to smudge pencil liners. I use it to line with powder shadows as well. For 1,600yen, it's a steal!

Pr005 Small Shader Brush / Koyudo Pr Purin SeriesMakeup BrushPerfect for liquids/gels/creams!
Now this little brush is quite special. If you look closely at the picture on the page you'll see that it's actually *not* flat on both sides. The thing is, what the picture doesn't tell you is that the concave side is softer and has more give, while the slightly bulging side is firmer and has less give. I use the softer side for liquid/gel shadows and the firmer side for cream shadows. The application is smooth and effortless, and I love this brush so much I also bought the bigger version, the Pr004.
