Review by Cindy

When I saw this series is red fox and squirrel hair mixed, I thought it should be very soft. But when I started to use it, it's more resilient than I thought. The bristle still feels comfortable and not prickly, but not as soft as I expected. It's quite good to use it to apply finishing powder because the bouncing bristle and the density, but maybe not good for blush which might be too pigmented. This brush is nice but not must have.For a brush collector, buying 1 or 2 should be enough. For a freshman of makeup or brush user, I would not recommand it.

I always love big and round type powder brush, so I decided to take this one in. It's amazing when the first time I used it to apply powder on my face. The bristle is very very soft, which I feel it'softer than other saikoho powder brush. I also have B-F-02, but after the comparsion, I love B-F-01 better which I will also recommand it if you like the same type of brush as me.

Chikuhodo Z series is always the top and famous series when talking about Japan Fude. the bristle is really soft and the density is also ok. I do love to use it to apply setting powder on my face. Thoug I haven't tried, I think it should be good to use for blush product as well.

I purchased Ksz-02 & Ksz-03. To be honest, I don't feel very good when using Ksz-02 for the first time. I even felt a bit of prick when used it on my face. But when I used Ksz-03 for the first time, the experience is different from using Ksz-02. The bristle is soft, and it does apply the blush very smooth and pigment. So I will recommand that this brush should match with not so pigment blush which will be better.

I purchase it is because I don't have such shape of brush. The small shape can help comb the eyebrow in more precision spot. It's a good brush, but I won't say it's a must have brush.

This is the most stiff mascara brush that I have. I not only use it for mascara but also eyebrow, mainly the eyebrow. Basically it perform well, except that nothing special that I can find so far.

I purchase this is because I have very good experience of B-TC-01. And I'm looking for smaller concealer brush to apply small area of concealer. Also B-WC-01 has two ends of brush which is multi-functional, so I decided to buy this brush. However, the bristle of flat topped end is not as dense as I thought like B-TC-01. It's softer which makes the effect of blending the concealer not as good as I use the B-TC-01. It might be also the problem that the concealer type that I chose. Now I use the flat end more often to apply concealer in smaller spot, then still use B-TC-01 to blend.

Honestly I do feel a bit of prick when I used it first time. I thought the bristle would be softer, but it's not. However, the big shape of the brush can help me apply setting powder quickly, so I would say this is a good powder brush, but not to great.

Though Bisyodo indicates it's a cheek/highlight brush, but I mainly purchase it for contour purpose. And it does not let me down. The angle shape makes me to apply coutour more easily and quickly. The bristle is very soft. I don't feel regret to purchase it.

The unique production process made me choose this on as my first Koyudo powder brush. The brush belongs to dense brush, not that kind of fluffy brush as I expected. The hair is soft, I think it's good for setting finished podwer. It can also apply to check blush. but need to take care the pigmentation since this brush is dense type. My opinion will be neutral to this brush.

I really enjoy the eyebrow brush made with badger bristle. Such stiff hair brush can make me draw eyebrow very quickly and easily. Even the eyebrow powder is dense, using this brush can help take the podwer easily. This size is bigger than my other eyebrow brushes, and it does help me to complete my eyebrow makeup sooner. But it's also a bit of weak when you want to draw the eyebrow in more detail. Except that, I think this is a good eyebrow brush.

Since I started to use my first Hakuhodo eyebrow brush, it opened my interests in collecting eyebrow brushes from different brand. I chose GSN-12 as my first Chikuhodo eyebrow brush since I think the size is similar to the ones I usually use. I feel the hair is a bit of softer than my other eyebrow brush. It does apply the eyebrow powder well and can draw the eyebrow precisely. But I won't say this brush surprise me. In general, it is still a good eyebrow brush.

This hair is very soft and comfortable when apply the powder on the face. I use it to apply cheek powder, it can blend it very well, but it won't spread to other area that I don't want to. It also can create pigment cheek effect even the bristle is very soft. The short handle make it easy to be portable.

I found there are many Japan makeup Youtubers use this concealer brush, which make me very curious. So I decide to take it home. I don't have such type of brush, so it's very fresh to me. This brush does help me to apply the concealer more smoothly and easily. It can blend the concealer well but not to wipe them. But the handle is a bit of longer to me since it keep bumpping to my mirror when I use it. Besides, the size is a bit of big when blending the concealer on the under eye area. But general speaking, it still a good and special concealer brush.

After trying Chikuhodo FO series brushes, I do fall in love with the Fox hair brush. When I know this series is also fox hair brush, I couldn't help but to place the order. However, due to the higher price, I decided to purchase 1 brush first. To be honest, I'm glad that I made the right decision. ZE-2 hair is really soft, I feel it's softer than FO series. But it's not dense and fluffy as what I expected. I think this brush is good for finish powder application, but this will not be my first choice.

Grey squirrel brush is always my favorite due to its softness. Chikuhodo Z series is definitely one of my favorte. Z8 brush is so soft and it does help me a lot to deal with those very pigment blushes. By using this brush, it can blend the blush into the skin very well and make it look so natural effortlesslly. Sometimes I will use it to apply the setting powder or highlighter in specific area. The bristle is really soft and comfortable.

I purchased this brush is because a Taiwan Youtuber's recommandation. By the time I was looking for a eyeliner brush that can help me to draw precise eyeliner, and GSN-17 is the one. The hair is firm enough so that you can draw a clear and precise eyeliner. If someone is looking for the same effect, then don't miss this brush.

FO-8 is the other eyeliner brush I would recommand. Actually this is the 2nd FO-8 I've purchased. The bristle of FO-8 is soft but still firm enought to help me draw eyeliner easily no matter the upper or lower lash line. GSN-17 and FO-8 are both great eyeliner brushed. The effect from GSN-17 tends to be precise and delicate, and the effect from FO-8 is more gentle and soft. Considering portability, FO-8 will be better choice than GSN-17.

I always prefer large powder brush than small one. FO-9 is not just large but also more fluffy due to its character of fox hair which makes it more comfortable when apply the powder on the skin. Besides, the ability of taking or releasing the powder is also good. It does help me to apply setting powder quick and easily. One thing to note is the hair seems a bit of prick after I washed it one time, but it doesn't bother me too much.

This is my first experience with fox bristle brush, and I do feel astonished after using them. When the first time I used FO-3 to apply the blush, I'm surprised that it can not only just blend the blush very well but also keep pigmented enough that I want, which effect is so much better than using my other blush brushes. The fox bristle is so comfortable but still keeps the flexibility like the goat hair. I'm happy to purchase this brush. Just one thing to note, the fox hair seems to become more fluffy after starting using them. So for someone is looking for precise or small area blush application, FO-3 might not be the best choice.
