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)

hourglass
AMBIENT LIGHTING BLUSHES
Chikuhodo FO-4 Cheek Brush, FO Series or Chikuhodo Z-3 Contour Brush, Z Series

SCULPTURE UNLOCKED PALETTE
Tanseido YSS-14 Highlight Brush
"The brush head is small enough to fit in the small palette and takes the perfect amount and distributes it like a dream while sliding on the cheeks. The same brush can be used after for the highlighter from the same palette." (Adilemm, Germany)

hourglass
AMBIENT LIGHTING BRONZER
Kyureido KK-002 Cheek Brush, Kiwami Series
"Soft larger area brush for more natural all over dust of bronzer." (Emily.kin.94, USA)

hourglass
STROBE LIGHTING POWDER
Houkoudo G-C2 Cheek Brush, Sora Series
"I don’t usually wear highlighter so I just use my blush brush. I don’t like a very shimmery look so the G-C2 diffuses the highlighter so well since it’s so hairy and fluffy." (Andrea C. Philippines)
