I use this brush to contour my nose and sculpt my cheeks. It is as soft as my other goat hair brushes and does precise contour nicely!

This brush is now the king of all my brushes. It is an everyday staple for me. I use it for finishing powder (Hourglass ambient lighting, Guerlain meteories both loose and pressed). It does not leave tiny holes in my hourglass pan because it’s super soft. It’s also very springy on the skin when I use it to buff in powder. Can’t imagine my makeup family without it!

This brush is the most unique looking contour brush i have ever had in my collection! It’s super soft, and can be used to apply and blend contouring powder seamlessly. It is actually surprisingly easy to use! Because of the small size, i can use this to contour both my nose and face perfectly!

So happy I could finally get the z-4! I use it for contouring, applying blush, and sometimes to set my under-eye concealer and highlighter. Its shape makes it so versatile and functional.

Super duper soft pencil brush so maybe not be firm enough if you prefer a stiffer one, or a sharp look than the soft smokey lower lash look. It softened a bit more after washing too. I like it because it does not hurt my lower lash line when used for lining shadows or lightly blending out harsh lines.

The handle design is an exquisite work of art! The squirrel hair of this brush is so soft and flawless. I use this brush to deposit finishing powder (not setting), specifically the Guerlain meteorites - in both loose and pressed forms! It is more loosely packed than the Z-1 but different enough to justify having both in my opinion! As it takes up more surface area on the face; it makes it more efficient for finishing powder. Cdjapan rewards system is great too, i wish rewards came out more often!

Again, perfect handle length (some might find it too short, it is shorter than all my western brand brushes, but i love it!). I use this brush mainly to blend out my smokey eye makeup, it is so soft and has never hurt my lids. It is a little large for blending details or a selected area but as an all-over blender, it works great!

I bought this brush among my first japanese fude brushes, and intended to use it for powder brush. A pom-pom shape, the top applies my blushes perfectly without ever depositing too much product. It is so soft too when used to blend it out. I use this with my Ambient Lighting blushes by Hourglass. I find the handle length perfect too, as Western brushes tend to be a bit too long for me.

I use this brush both for contouring and blushes. Because it has a quite a sharp slanted side, it can apply a bit harshly and hard to blend if you are too heavy handed. It took me a bit of learning to use it well, now i use it in sweeping motion to apply blushes (with the flat surface area sweeping my face rather than the thin side). For contour, I only use this to apply the powder, and use another brush to blend it out. On the plus side, it is really affordable for a natural hair brush and the hair is so soft and comfortable!

I love this pencil brush, both for the quality and also for its price! The quality is unbeatable and the hair is so soft to my eyelids! I am so glad I discovered the brand Koyudo and cdjapan!
