Fu-Pa series - Blush Brush [fu-pa01]

KOYUDO - Fu-Pa Series - Blush Brush [fu-pa01] "Fu-Pa" is KOYUDO's most popular series. This full brush can be used for both powder and blush. This luxury brush is made from imitation Saikoho* goat hair which is the highest grade hair found around the goat's neck area. It is very smooth and soft on the skin but has a subtle stiffness, similar to natural hair, and is more durable. The hairs for these brushes are constructed so as to include a fine end tip to the hair. Rather than cutting hairs to obtain the correct length, the diameter of the hair is gradually reduced all the way to the end tip. This dramatically improves softness and does not cause irritation to the skin that can result from sharp cut edges, and is excellent to catch products. Luxurious pearl green handle is made from natural wood. These brushes are individually hand crafted by experienced artisans using a similar skill set required when crafting traditional Japanese calligraphy brushes.
