B-ES-01 Eye Shadow Brush / BISYODO SeriesMakeup BrushAnother winner from Bisyodo
Well made, with soft hairs and awesome bundling. This is great for one and done eyeshadow, contouring the nose ( especially great size) and also the cheekbones. Because of its denseness, this brush can be used to pat on glittery eyeshadow especially those baked glee type formulas as it can pick up a good amount despite the softness of the hairs.

G-HC-01 Highlight Blush Brush / BISYODO GRAND SeriesMakeup BrushAmazing!!!
I am always impressed with Bisyodo's brushes, the workmaship and the bristles are just awesome. The wood handles are smooth and finely textural at the same time imparting a really calming feel when held. The bristles are soft and silky imparting just enough highlighter on the cheeks and browbone. This can also be used to contour the nose. Not the densest brush around, but just the way I like it for a subtle application of product. Can also be used for blusher products.

T-13 Foundation BrushMakeup BrushAwesome foundation brush
I love the rounded shape plus it will bloom a lot more after washing when you first get it. Swirl to your hearts content. For those with skin that sometimes have flakiness, hold the brush further away from the bristles therefore the buffing / micro exfoliating won't be so intense. I think for these types of skin type , using a sponge would probably be more appropriate. However someone may have flaky dry skin but not be as sensitive then this brush may be fine.

CB White Canadian Squirrel Blush Brush Red HandleMakeup BrushFantastic value
This is such an amazingly soft and silky smooth brush and the hair colours is so pretty. Also made by Koyudo, so if you are on a tight budget , get this one instead. perfect size for smaller cheeks. So this is a great brush which applies products in a diffused but precise colour placement. I use this in a light patting motion. Since it is a also in a paddle shape you can you apply contour colour on a little corner and use a stroking motion where the clean bristles helps you in blending the contour colour.

[CMP510] Foundation Brush / Mizuho CMP Series BlackMakeup BrushGreat value and workhorse brush
perfect size for smaller faces, applies foundation in a skin like finish. Mizuho is a very underated brand, and this brush being an awesome value for money is great for a working professional as well. it is also so soft. Can be used also with cream blush and cream contouring. Because of the longer bristles it will apply blush and contour quite sheerly, but this is not a bad thing .

YS-SET5 Eye Brush Set / Yakusugi HandlesMakeup BrushGreat starter eye set
This is an amazing eye set for the person starting out in Japanese Fude. Possibly not the cheapest set around, but the quality is unsurpassed. I think this is a great starting middle price point set. This set comes with an elegant and ergonomic handle. The large squirrel hair brush is soft but abit on the big side for targeted application of eyeshadow , however it is great for applying and all over sweep of one colour eyeshadow. Great size for highlighting the cheek and under the brow bone. The smaller pine squirrel brushes are great for more targeted application of eyeshadow. The other tiny small brush made from tamahair is great for drawing eyeliner with powder shadows as well as applying just that little bit of sparkle in the inner corner of the eye. The eyeliner brush looks like the same one in the cheri collection made from weasel hair so is great for wet products ie cream or gel eyeliners. The eye brow brush made from badger hair is great for applying eyebrow gel or pomade. Needless to say, this is a great little starting out brush set and also a good size for travelling.

BZ-1 Domed Foundation Brush / Houkodou HAKU Series GoldMakeup Brushsoft and smooth foundation brush
Great for liquid foundation , produces a soft and satin like finish on the skin , it is also good for buffing mineral powder foundation or setting powder into the skin. Does not irritate the skin. Almost the shape of the Takumi 13 from Chikuhodo but just a tiny bit shorter in the bristles.

BZ-2 Angled Foundation Brush / Houkodou HAKU SeriesMakeup BrushSmall and efficient
This is good brush for mineral powder foundation as well as liquid foundation giving a satin finish to the skin. Being small may seem like you need more time to apply the foundation but it means that it can go into the crevices between the nose and cheek. Surface Area wise ( on the top most part of the bristles) I would say this brush is not that much smaller than the BZ-1 maybe about 80% smaller but the slanted edges means that you can use that edge to go under the eye or around the nose area.

[f-05] Cheek mini fu-pa01 / Koyudo fu-pa SeriesMakeup Brushfantastic brush for cream blushes
Just the perfect size and cream blush and contour. the bristles are smooth and soft despite being quite dense.

fu-pa02 CB Foundation Brush / Koyudo fu-pa SeriesMakeup Brushswirl or wipe as you wish
I do like this brush being of mixed hairs more than just a brush that is pure sokoto goat. If Sokoho bristles are soft and smooth this is even smoother. This shape means that foundation is put on without streaks giving a translucent finish. This shape can also be used with cream foundations and not a bad size for cream contour but could be a little big for smaller faces.
