Powder Brushes

"This enhances my make-up experience – an absolutely treat! It is very soft, delicate. Power of silver fox! I look forward to applying my make up since I've this. For many years I struggle to find a brush that I love. I hesitated a bit by its price but it is so worth it. It can keep my make up for a whole day – that I don't need to re-apply powder in the afternoon again. Also the shipment to UK was smooth."

Cheek Brushes

"Oooh this is so plush! It came tiny but blooms well after washing. It’s sooo soft and fluffy! I use it solely for bronzing but surely can be multifunctional. FO-4 seems better suited for blush, imo. I love this series! Thanks fudebeauty for delivering to AU!"
