Top 10 Kyureido Brushes
"This is a beautiful brush with the sparkly black handle. The wonderfully soft squirrel hair matches the luxurious appearance. Being squirrel, it lays down shadow less heavily than goat. I like using this to lay down my eyeshadow base, or as mentioned in the previous review, to powder smaller areas of the face, e.g. under the eyes, around the nose, or on the chin. It is almost a dupe of the Suqqu eyeshadow L brush; my Suqqu L is denser and fluffier than this one. If you're thinking of getting this one, just do it – you won't regret it."

Top 10 Mizuho Brushes
"This is a really great brush, it’s lightweight and it fits my eye perfectly. The brush picks up powder and creates the most amazing gradation of colors ever. I can also lightly blend with this brush, and I use it for a very soft wash on the lower lid. This brush also works for my nose contour when I use bronzer and want a light application. This a definitely a versatile brush and it’s amazing."

"I have a thing for Kolinsky hair lately and when I saw this brush was being carried by Fude Beauty I was ecstatic! I took it immediately and upon receipt this brush is even more beautiful in hand! The handle is amazingly gorgeous! The red one is a real sexy red. The hair is of very good quality and pack shadows very nicely for one and done. If you turn the brush on the side you can even do your liner. I love this brush so much!"
