AMBIENT LIGHTING POWDER

Chikuhodo FO-1 Powder Brush, FO Series
"The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood Light works well with the Chikuhodo FO-1, since it's very soft, of medium density and picks up the right amount of product to achieve a perfect skin finish."(PMD, Spain)

Chikuhodo Z-2 Highlight Brush, Z Series
"The brush picks up just enough of the finely milled powder and is the perfect size for application high on the cheek bone." (PB, USA)

Chikuhodo Z-9 Powder Brush, Z Series
"I'm sure most people prefer the Z-1, but the Z-9's larger size, flatter shape, and lower density give me a more diffused, less controlled application of finishing powder. This is important for me because I don't usually apply finishing powders to my entire face. I often use them to brighten the center of my face, where I want a diffused result." (Robin C, USA)

Kyureido KK-002 Cheek Brush, Kiwami Series
Larger brush for gentle all over glow. Fluffy brush for also more natural and skin like lit from within glow." (Emily.kin.94, USA)
