BP025 Highlighter Brush / Koyudo BP High Class SeriesMakeup BrushSuper soft!
This brush is amazingly soft yet it still manages to be efficient. The shape makes it suitable for a variety of uses, It can be used to apply blush and highlighter. It would also work great for targeted powder application. I am yet to have a Koyudo brush that disappoints, and my wish list is never ending.

C010P Eye Shadow R / Koyudo C Standard Series PinkMakeup Brushgreat for targeted shadow application
This is quite efficient for targeted eye shadow application, such as for inner corner. I was expecting this to be pokey and scratchy, but it's none of that. I'd still want to get C011 though.

fu-pa11-p Concealer & Highlighting Brush / Koyudo fu-pa Series PinkMakeup BrushSoft brush for buffing concealer
This brush is included in my third Koyudo order in three weeks, and I do not regret getting. I am still looking for the most appropriate and unique use for it, but I am yet to find it. Meanwhile, I enjoy using this for blending and buffing underye concealer. It's soft but firm enough, without tugging. It's quite easy to clean, and I can imagine it lasting for years. Very well made like rest of my Koyudo brushes. However, it has no unique function, just really nice to have.

BP016 Blush Brush / Koyudo BP High Class SeriesMakeup BrushUnbelievably soft yet highly efficient
If you use powder blushes, you should get this brush. It's so unbelievably soft for goat hair, yet picks up just the right amount of pigment and blends effectively. Koyudo has reasonably priced brushes, and that could not be anymore true with this brush. The quality of the hair is impeccable yet the it's no more than $50. I love it so much I place an order for BP002 which is made of the same hair, but most likely broader and fuller, which I'll use for overall powder application.

M007 Retractable Lip Brush / Koyudo M Portable Series BlackMakeup BrushUnexpectedly nice
I was initially doubting about the shape of this lip brush as I am used to ones that have curved tip, instead of a straight one. I found though that this type of lip brush lends to a more precise line and thus is better for darker lip colors. It also has just enough stiffness for depositing color on the lips without exerting to much pressure. Some other brands have much more expensive lip brush but this one from Koyudo works just as well. I got this as part of a set with Fu-Pa14 and I am so glad to have grabbed the offer.

Koyudo fu-pa14 Ena Gray Squirrel Powder Brush / Koyudo fu-pa Series WhiteMakeup BrushMust-have!
This brush is one of the softest that I have. It rivals those from other brands that cost twice or thrice as much. It applies loose powder beautifully. It's also great for setting and finishing powders. The size is just right as well, and the handle gives it just enough heft. If you use powder a lot, you should get more than one of this amazing brush. It's great value for its price. I got this as part of a recent CDJapan promo wherein it comes in gift set with lip brush and gift box. I love this brush and cannot recommend enough.

fu-pa02 Foundation Brush / Koyudo fu-pa Series PinkMakeup BrushGreat for liquid foundation
This brush is so much softer than expected. It applied liquid foundation so flawlessly and effortlessly. This is indeed better than the synthetic buffing brushes that I own. I also appreciate how the handle allows it to stand on it own. I am pleased with CDJapan's service, but so far I have only ordered brushes that are ready to ship in 1 to 2 days
