Koyudo Mini fu-pa01,02,03 3pcs Set w/ PouchMakeup BrushTruly the BEST!
Like many of us, I started out favoring larger face brushes because they did the job quickly. However along the years, I discovered my love for smaller, shorter face brushes because they allow for more precision without compromising on the time it takes to put on your makeup in the morning. This set of FU-PA is one of my best purchase EVER! They might be called "mini" but they are certainly not "mini" in any way! Bigger than I first expected and truly the PERFECT size to me. While the regular FU-PAs are great especially for a quick application of foundation especially if you have flawless skin to start with, these sized-down FU-PAs are just a dream of precision when you need to cover more imperfections like redness, discolorations, blending around the nose and eyes especially if you use color correctors...They truly do not take more time in applying your make up overall but rather allow you to be more precise in your application. If you love the Chikuhodo G-10 but wished it would be a little bigger, the Fu-Pa 02 mini will be your answer to your wishes! The Fu-Pa 01 mini allows a far more precise application of blush without feeling too small at all, compared to the full size Fu-Pa 01. And the Fu-Pa 03 mini is a dream to use for mineral powder. it covers a lot of surface with its flat top and flexible bristles. The quality of these brushes is exceptional as are all of the Koyudo brushes I own. They are beautiful with their wood tone handles and the pouch they come with is not only super cute but very practical! Overall I am so HAPPY I ordered this set of Fu-Pas! Truly the best IMHO!

Koyudo Fuwafuwa Powder BrushMakeup BrushBeautiful!!
This is such a wonderful brush, worth every cents! It is beautiful to look at, the weight of the brush is perfect, the shape of the head and density (denser than Fu-Pa 14) is just perfect for applying powder foundation or cream foundation. It is very soft (Fu-Pa 14 is a tad softer, perhaps because it is not as dense. If you were to purchase only ONE brush from KOYUDO, I would highly recommend this one. It is extremely versatile and such a beauty to look at!

G-10 Liquid / Chikuhodo G SeriesMakeup BrushAmazing brush and value!
I cannot believe the price of this brush! it is SO versatile and super soft! I purchased this brush for my teenage daughter as an introduction to Japanese brushes. She does not wear foundation but I can totally see her using it for blush and hightligher. It is such a versatile brush. The small size is perfect for portability and definitely not too small for use. It is beautifully made, I may have to order one for myself as well! Such a great value for the price!

fu-pa14 CB Gray Squirrel Powder BrushMakeup BrushSO HAPPY!
I am SO HAPPY with this brush! As everyone says, it is super soft, has the perfect density, and it picks up the perfect amount of powder and applies it seamlessly. It is such a pleasure to use. The size of the head and size of the brush are just perfect for someone like me who prefers shorter handles as they allow you to get closer to the mirror. I had been wanting to purchase the FU-PA14 for sometime now, but was not fond of the original black with green speckles handle or the white one. So when I saw that CD Japan released a limited edition with a matte black handle, I knew it was time for me to invest in the FU-Pa14. The handle is beautiful, simple, classy, feels really good in the hand and bonus, it has a flat bottom which allows you to store it standing on its own. Not only does it take up less space, it also keeps the hair better than having it down on its side. I just LOVE this new CD Japan handle design far better than the original ones and the bonus is that it cost ever less! Thank you CD Japan for making this limited edition available!

Koyudo SOMELL GARDEN BLUEBERRY x WALNUT Highlighting BrushMakeup BrushBeautiful!
I ordered this brush along with the others from the series. This is my favorite one! The dye is subtle and beautiful. So densely packed and soft! I love the small size and the presentation in the box is just beautiful. The walnut handle is gorgeous. The logo and names are etched into the wood, so no risk for it to ever rub off. Overall a beautiful, extremely well made brush at a very affordable price. Perfect for travel or carrying with you.
