CB Red Squirrel Eye Shadow BrushMakeup BrushSilky soft brush
This brush is the same shape as my Koyudo BP033 brush but even softer and silkier. It is equally efficient though. Great if you have sensitive eyes/lids. I only used it with powder products, red squirrel hair is considered too delicate for cream products.

CB101 Gray Squirrel Powder BrushMakeup BrushLovely brush
I bought it as an experiment - I generally use smaller brushes for a more defined look / better precision but wanted to try a bigger brush but soft for my sensitive skin. The only other brush that I have with 5 cm long hair is the Suqqu face brush but I find it too tapered for my use. I was looking for a brush that would be at least as soft as Suqqu but more rounded shape and better price. So far I am very happy with this brush, it feels even softer than my Suqqu and has an airy feel on the skin (similar to LSY 902 brush for those that have it). It fluffs out a lot after washing but this can be controlled by using a brush quard or similar solution. I used the Koyudo brush lace protector and it worked fine. The brush picks up soft pressed powders well and gives a very sheer and natural look which I like. I also used it with a bronzer - again, a very natural diffused result. And as a finishing brush with a healthy glow powder - fantastic. The brush is not directional and not too dense and if pressed too hard the hair splay out. I have light-medium skin ( NC 20-23) and use mostly high pigmented products so this brush is perfect for me to achieve a natural look with a few swipes.

Koyudo Red Squirrel 3-Piece Brush SetMakeup BrushRed Squirrel 3-pc set
I bought this set because I already own 3 other red squirrel brushes ( Koyudo and Tanseido) and like them all very much. I prefer red squirrel hair for my sensitive skin. The cheek brush is very similar to Koyudo red squirrel cheek brush that was released in the past (I own one from the second release), just a little more tapered and a little more resilient. It feels silky soft and picks up powder, blush and bronzer very well. It does not have the blending power of goat hair but for me that is not a problem. The eye shadow brush is the same shape and density as the Koyudo BP033 brush - same efficiency but even softer/silkier. The eyeliner brush is also very nice, I use it for depositing eyeshadow around my liquid eyeliner line, I have not used it for eyeliner itself since mine has its own in-built brush. I have had this set for over a week and used it every day. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the price, I wish this set was more affordable. For people with not sensitive skin it may be more cost- efficient to buy grey squirrel brushes instead.
