"I am in love with the foxhair of this line and plan on getting all of them! The bristles are silky soft like squirrel, but have the strength of goathair, just a bit springier (SP?) I have mature, sensitive skin, especially around the eyes and these brushes feel wonderful on the skin!" (RuthM, USA)

"This brush is perfect for my mature hooded lids! I use it every single day since I purchased it and now that I've fallen in love with it I will never be without this brush! It's multi functional and exquisite super soft yet effective enough to work with color as well as neutrals and I can't wait to get the other eye brushes !! I also want to take a moment and mention Fude Beautys Excellent Shipping and Customer Service I look forward to purchasing more from this site!!" (M. Hammat)

"I love this brush!! Eyeshadow blends like a dream and the hair is so soft for mature skin!! A most for ladies that wanna be nicer to the skin on and around the eyes!!" (Kelly R)

After researching via You-tube, I finally placed my first order for genuine fude from Japan. I have dry mature sensitive skin and this brush is divinely soft. It easily picks up pigment from my powder blushes (Chanel and Surratt) and applies it faultlessly. I did not need to go back and buff or blend. Just laying the color down provides both precise placement with seamless diffused edges. It's magic! If you have been tempted by fude, this will not disappoint. This brush lives up to the hype.

"Wonderful feeling brush on my sensitive eyelids and love how well it applies my matte and satin eyeshadow. I am really enjoying the larger size too as I have quite alot of eyelid space." Kim S, Australia

"This is made with high quality synthetic fibres which I find to be extremely gentle on my mature skin. It buffs and blends creams and liquids to perfection. Have shown in pic with Koyudo F-05 Mini Cheek Brush and Kyureido Kiwami Cheek Brush for size comparison. I like this for blending out cream blush in particular, and the size makes it perfect for travelling. The walnut handle is very beautiful." (Rebecca, Australia)

"So in love! The softest most plush eyeshadow brush that is a one and done! Well you’ll need another to buff out the edges bc this thing packs a punch if you’re using shadows like Viseart. Highest quality, packed with fluffy saikoho goat hairs that feel silky and heaven on my dry aging skin. I may need a back up but am placing myself on brush shopping probation. Note there is a little learning curve to not over apply but once you’ve got it down you’ll be reaching for this as often as I do. If I could make one improvement it would be to lengthen the handle just a little bit. I prefer shorter brushes anyway and the lovely rosewood nicely heavily weighted handle makes for a gorgeous and enjoyable shadow application. I hope the quality of these brushes never changes. Love love love!" (xxx)

"A beautifully elegant brush in all black and the sakura makie creates a beautiful contrast. Gray squirrel is another favorite, soft and delicate and ideal for mature skin." (Kim S, Australia)

"The smoothest brush very gentle on the skin, can be used with eyeshadows I used it to set concealer beneath the eyes and the nose, can be used with powder blush.” (RAAFAT, USA)

"Z11's long tapered and soft bristles make blending like a dream. It gives a more 'air brushed' effect, a highly competent choice for daily use (as long as your don't require a very precise blending). I also use it to apply highlight in smaller areas, such as tip of the nose, above lip, chin, temple etc. It's soft touch won't move your skin around, and won't irritate your skin, thus I would highly recommend it for those who have mature or sensitive skin." (Zhujing, Netherlands)

"As I'm aging, I've been looking for the softest eyeshadow brushes I can find that will effectively blend product without tugging or pulling on my eyelids. This brush is one of the best. It's whisper soft and still picks up a good amount of product. It's great for an all over the lid one and done look, but I'd love a smaller version of this too for more precise application."  (Jennifer, USA)

"I love this brush for contouring and other tasks such as concealer. This is a great multitasking brush. You will love the feel of the bristles because they are so soft and gentle on your skin." Phyllis R

"Just as my older Suqqu, this brush is excellent for super pigmented blushes or even the Hourglass palettes, which can sometimes produce a surprising amount of pigment, but this gentle brush is kitten paw level, literally never allows to overapply any cheek product while keeping the ability to build up color if needed." Julia, Slovakia

"I have the KK-03, and have been enjoying it. However this slightly fluffier KK-02 is a joy to use. As with the other brush head, I love the slightly dyed tips, and the beautiful handle. The slightly extra length and girth of the KK-2 applies powder like a dream. The bristles are whisper soft:, and glide on the face with the gentlest pressure, while still applying the right amount of powder." NativeNewYorker

"An exceptional quality masterpiece! I use it for finishing powders, it evenly diffuses thin layer of product and blends any harsh lines to perfection. The feeling it gives to your skin is so pleasant, gentle and weightless that I often use it without make up, as an antistress if have few spare minutes. It is not the brush you need, but the brush you'd love to have." Irina T.

"This is my second Makie series brush. Absolutely love the design on the handle. The squirrel hair is so soft and gentle on the skin, not moving the base makeup at all! Highly recommend!" Ella, Australia

"This brush is the best of both worlds: squirrel and pony. Pony is great at picking up pressed/hard eyeshadow and moving it but can feel poky or harsh for those with very sensitive eyelids or mature skin. Squirrel is really soft but not so good at picking up pressed/hard powders and isn't that great at diffusing it. However, this squirrel and pony mix somehow is magic as it feels soft enough and yet it can pick up powder, even hard pressed matte eyeshadows and it blends like a dream. It allows to build up color intensity, whereas squirrel alone would only give a softer application. This brush has an innovative diamond type tip shape that adds to its perfect blendability."
