This brush does a fantastic job with applying liquid or stick foundation. It is incredibly soft and leaves a natural “airbrushed” finish. I highly recommend it!

I’m very happy with CDJapan. The shipping was very fast — nothing to complain about. Now, about the brush: before buying it, I already had the full FO series, which I use regularly, with a particular preference for the FO3 and FO9. I bought the FO2 because I have oily skin, and I’m a fan of the pressing technique for setting powder. Normally, I do it using a velvet puff. But what I don’t like about this kind of tool is that it applies too much powder, and the final makeup look isn’t natural. I don’t have much experience with this type of brush, as it’s very hard to find reviews online. Most users seem to prefer buffing or sweeping techniques. For me, buffing is okay, but I find that it doesn’t blur the pores on my T-zone as well as pressing does. The FO2 brush isn’t very large. It’s extremely soft, and yes — it blurs the pores very well. I use it only for that purpose, since I already have other fude brushes for buffing. That wasn’t the goal of this purchase. Based on my experience using this type of brush for pressing, I’d say it’s a very good brush. I’ll definitely be using it daily, and if I don’t find anything better for this technique, I’ll buy a second one. In conclusion: I’m very happy with this product. Excellent quality, very satisfied.

First of all, thank you to CDJapan — I’m really happy with their service. The shipping was fast, everything was carefully packed, and the item arrived in perfect condition. The only small downside concerns the customs fees. Living in France, I had to pay quite a significant amount. Of course, this isn’t the site’s fault, but rather the result of international economic policies. That said, customs matter to me because I’m on a limited budget. So every purchase is a decision I make carefully, after countless hours of research. That was the case with the G9 brush. As of now, it’s no longer in production — and maybe this review will seem unnecessary — but I’m so thrilled with it that I had to write something. Online, it gets a lot of praise, especially for the incredible softness of the grey squirrel hair. Some users criticize the ferrule and the handle, saying that such extraordinary bristles deserved a more refined design. Personally, I don’t agree. For me, this brush is a form of therapy. Sensory therapy — because even when I’m done with my makeup, I still find myself brushing it across my face just for the feel. The hairs are that soft! Visual therapy — because unlike others, I find the brush really beautiful. It has a quiet elegance and feels perfectly balanced in the hand. In terms of use, it works wonderfully: it doesn’t disturb foundation but blends everything seamlessly. It gives a soft, natural finish and brings everything together. In short: absolutely no flaw in my eyes. I’m really glad I bought it, even though it’s expensive. I truly hope it’ll last me a lifetime.
