"I am in love with the foxhair of this line and plan on getting all of them! The bristles are silky soft like squirrel, but have the strength of goat hair, just a bit springier. I have mature, sensitive skin, especially around the eyes and these brushes feel wonderful on the skin!" (FO-1 Powder Brush, RuthM)

"I love round, dense, soft face brushes so I had to get the Z-1. I'm so happy with this brush. The squirrel hair is so so soft. I can just swipe the brush across my face and forget I'm actually getting ready for work! It's a lovely brush and great for finishing powder or Hourglass powder when I'm done putting on all my face makeup. I couldn't be happier with this purchase." (Z-1 Powder Brush, Clara)

"So incredibly beautiful. The African wood handles are absolutely gorgeous and polished to perfection. The hair is dense and soft. The gold ferrule enhances its beauty." (B-FD-01 Foundation Brush, Tiffany C)

"When I apply bronzer or blush, I only use my Chikuhodo brushes and this one of them. It is a generous size and so soft on the skin. If you have never used a Japanese makeup brush, you can start by collecting the brushes in the Takumi collection... In my view, Japanese makeup brushes such as Chikuhodo are the best in the world." (T-2 Powder Brush, Amy)

"IN LOVE. This great for people with dry skin like me who want a brush that can stamp on foundation instead of dragging the brush around the face. It's a very versatile brush too, can be used with liquid foundation and cream blush or bronzer... I'm really impressed with the quality, design and workmanship of this brush." (FO-4 Mineral Brush, Kris)

"This entire series is amazing and I highly recommend trying them. Houkodou brushes are seriously underrated. High quality materials, luxuriously soft and quite beautiful. Shorter handles but not travel sized by any means. Not as short as the Chikuhodo G series but not as long as the Z series. This series is worth every penny imo and has become one of my favorites. It’s rare to find brushes made with 100% squirrel hair that’s also high quality for this price point. Don’t sleep on these! You may just regret it." (G-C2 Eyeshadow Brush, Shelly S)

"I decided to take the plunge and order my first Fude brushes. I bought this set since I didn't know which brushes I needed and didn't want to spend too much. My only regret is to have waited for so long. The brushes are super soft and allow me to put on all types of powder seamlessly on my eyelids and face. I threw away all my older brushes and can't wait to order some more!" (5-Brush Set, Jou)

"This is a lovely brush which I am using in a variety of ways. I bought it principally to set under the eyes with loose powder... It also works nicely to apply powder eye shadow as a 'one and done' make up look. Great to apply a powder highlight too. It is nice and soft but with some 'spring' to it. The design is beautiful - wood with a dark green ferrule - an absolute beauty." (ZE-5 Eyeshadow Brush, Annie)

"I use this brush for highlighting and for blush. It picks the right amount of the product and spreads it like a dream... The fibers of the brush are incredibly soft. Its shape is perfect to lay powder products. Its design is stunning. Perfect brush." (GSN-4 Highlight Brush, Anat E)

"If you are a fude lover and collector, then you already know Koyudo makes great brushes. This Kakishibuzome Powder brush is not just a collector's piece, but is very versatile and resilient enough that even a beginner can start with it. It applies product beautifully and gives a beautiful diffuse finish, can use it as setting powder brush or a finishing brush as well... It's one you won't regret buying if you like high quality, gorgeously made brushes that are also practical and you don't have to baby the brush." (02 Powder Brush, Shaz)
