Japanese Fude makeup brushes are true treasures, and if looked after correctly, can last for many years. For instructions on washing and storage, we recommend following the instructions on our blog, which was developed in consultation with brush artisans.

We do not currently offer an engraving service.

If you are looking for a brush that is not on the Fude Beauty website and you are in our Take or Matsu tier levels, please get in touch with us at support@fudebeauty.com for our concierge service.

All brushes sold on our website are authentic Japanese Fude, handmade by artisans in Japan.

Due to the handmade nature of Japanese Fude brushes, slight shedding or deviations in shape are not considered faults. We recommend washing the brush to return it to it's intended shape. Read more information on shedding and brush care.

For major issues, please contact us.

Although a large proportion of brushes are made in the Kumano region of Japan, in Hiroshima prefecture, not all brushes are made there—so these brands will not use the Kumanofude sticker. In addition to this, not all brands in Kumano are part of the Kumano association, due to the high costs of being a member. Regardless of whether your brush packages have the Kumanofude sticker or not, they are guaranteed to be authentic Japanese fude handmade by artisans in Japan.
