"GREAT PACKING BRUSH. I own several kolinsky and weasel brushes and this is by far my favorite packing brush. I am considering buying a replacement (I rarely do that) because I continue reaching for it. It is particularly useful when applying shimmer eyeshadows. I have noticed I get little to none fall out when using this brush, especially when compared to some of my packing goat brushes." (Beatriz, USA)

"I loved this little gem so much once I managed to get it and try it, that I bought a backup. This brush isn't just stunningly elegant but it's also a powerful workhorse that does a lot, whether it's darkening the outer V with cream eyeshadow; or placing shimmers/glitters/metallics along the upper or lower lashline or inner corners. It even picks up hard pressed powders without issue." (Shazia S, USA)

"GREAT BRUSH, This brush works really well with shimmer and micro glitter eyeshadow. love the short handle. it’s really cute and travel friendly. I am planning to get the long handle one as well." — CL, Switzerland

“Awesome and versatile brush. really good spring back and resiliency so this is great for using on hard baked eyeshadow ie those shadows with etchings on them. This is awesome for applying glitter or shimmery eyeshadow without loosing the sparkles and picks up the base colour well especially the Pat McGrath shades. The pointy end can then be used to line the eyes with sparkly eyeshadow although careful not to press on hard on the sensitive eye skin. I would suggest using it slightly off the pointy end. the shape also fits perfectly to deposit colours on the inner eye corner. Being weasel hair, this brush can be used for liquid products like concealer and cream eyeshadow." (Grace, Australia)

“Great for shimmer and sparkle shadows. I am so happy happy I purchased this. This is wonderful for the shimmer and sparkle shadows, Those special shades that tend to be hard to lay down. I am not a big fan of using my finger for these shades, this Brush is perfect for that. You get great color payoff and adherence, especially when using Mac fix plus or Pat McGrath artistry wand. I would compare this to the Rephr 21.” (Linda)

“MUST-HAVE EYE BRUSH. I honestly need backups because it is such a spectacular brush for shimmery and glittery formulas!” (Kim S, Australia)

"This brush is incredibly soft, lays down shimmer on the lid well, and is as good as (if not better) as a typical crease brush for blending. The design is simple but elegant, and I've not had any issues when travelling with this brush. I've even gone ahead and bough a couple more backups!" (Suki, UK)

“This brush is extremely soft as if it were made of squirrel bristles and firm enough for applying a big array of different eyeshadow formulas no matter if they are matte, shimmery or metallic. I've been using the Chikuhodo Z-series consistently for a long time, and finding the FO series has been a stupendous surprise. Thanks, Chikuhodo!” (Rose M, Spain)

“100% RECOMMEND! I really enjoy this brush for hard to pick up shimmers!!! It is so useful and feels great on my sensitive eyelids. My friend recommended this for the outer-v which I think would be great too although I haven't tried!” (Jinghui W, USA)

“I received this brush a few weeks ago and have used it almost every day since. It is amazingly soft, it picks up everything! Even those hard to pick up shimmery baked shades. It has the color-placement impact of goat hair with the soft leisurely feeling of squirrel hair. I will be getting a backup as soon as possible! Amazing job to Chikuhodo! And thank you Fude Beauty for sending these precious gems all over the world.” (Ziva)

“VERY NICE! This is a great mid-sized pencil brush to have. It's extremely close in size to the Chikuhodo Z-10, except that the Z-10 tapers to a sharper point… It will put the product exactly where you want it and nowhere else… where the Y-4 outperforms the Z-10 is with satin/shimmer/sparkly shades. It deposits more of the sheen. Once I figured out that difference, this became my go-to brush for highlight shades. Love it.” (Marisa, USA)

“IDEAL FOR GLITTERY SHADES. Glittery shades met their match for more precise application: having slightly hooded eyes I prefer to apply glittery eyeshadows like the PMGL special shades rather close to the lash line for some subtle added wet look effect and this brush handles the task perfectly.” (Julia, Slovakia)

“VALUE FOR MONEY. Bristles are soft and just the right size for undereye concealer application. Appliess shadow glitters with no fall out. Able to draw a tightline with powder shadow on upper and lower eyes with no fall out too. A very versatile brush with a good price point.” (D, Malaysia)

“LOVELY DETAIL BRUSH. This is a great detail packer brush! Lovely and soft for highlighting the inner corner or packing on shimmer shades.” (Julianne)
