This is soft, smooth and easy to work with on my hooded lids. I can smoke out dark eyeshadows along my lashline very easily and quickly though I am not skillful. It's a staple for me now, and makes me want to wear a smokey eye everyday.

I ordered this to try because KOYUDO described this as being like squirrel yet durable like synthetic. They are right and the brush does feel like a breeze and moves as a whole on my face. Even softer than their saikoho brushes, yet picks up and deposits powder extremely well without disturbing my foundation. Highly recommended. My only gripe is that the flat shape makes it only suitable for patting powder on. Would be great if they also made a round or tapered version!

A soft yet firm paddle brush that can easily sweep eyeshadow across the whole lid. It is softer than goat and comparable to squirrel. Deposits cleanly. If it could be made a little fluffier, it would be more versatile and usable as a blending brush too. I like the matte black ferrule and red handle. Excellent workmanship from Koyudo again.
