Chikuhodo: “We recommend brushes made of weasel hair or synthetic fibers. Some of our customers use R-LQ1 or other liquid foundation brushes for blending blush, it depends on how you use it.”

Koyudo: Koyudo artisans recommend their Makiko Series. Not only are the brushes super cute, with soft imitation saikoho bristles, cherry wood handles, and rosy ferrules - the PBT bristles means it is compatible with viscous makeup materials (and resilient!). Koyudo’s Fu-pa series also comes highly recommended. In particular, the f-02 and f-05.

Mizuho: Mizuho artisans recommend PBT and weasel bristles for cream and liquid product application. The specific brushes they recommend in their collections are below.

Houkodou: Houkodou artisans recommend bristles of PBT, weasel and horse hair when it comes to smaller brushes such as eye and small highlights. For cheek brushes, they recommend brushes with densely bundled bristles.
