Shaquda UBU 824 Smoky eye Brush
SHAQUDA UBU 824 — Smoky Eye Brush
The art of the smoky eye lies in controlled depth — rich, intense colour that still manages to look naturally graduated rather than heavy — and the UBU 824 Smoky Eye Brush is engineered precisely for that result. With its short, firm pony hair bristles cut to just 10mm, this brush packs eyeshadow onto the lid and lower lash line with a focused intensity, while its gentle sensitivity allows for seamless blending that builds depth without harsh edges. The result is a gradation that looks effortlessly dimensional — precisely the kind of finish that defines a truly sophisticated smoky eye.
The firmness of pony hair also makes the UBU 824 an excellent brush for eyebrow powder, offering enough control to define and fill with precision while still producing a soft, natural finish. Compact and purposeful in form, it is one of the hardest-working brushes in the UBU collection — a specialist tool that delivers results that are immediately visible in the finished look.

About the Brand
Shaquda
SHAQUDA is a Japanese brush brand born from the centuries-old craftsmanship of Kumano, Hiroshima — Japan's most celebrated brush-making region for over 180 years. Blending the meticulous hand-finishing techniques of Edo-period master artisans with a clean, modern design aesthetic, SHAQUDA creates both makeup and skincare brushes that are as beautiful to look at as they are to use. Every brush is shaped using traditional koma tools, with each hair carefully selected and dressed by skilled craftspeople who take immense pride in their heritage. The result is a collection that feels luxurious in the hand, gentle on the skin, and effortlessly elegant on any vanity. SHAQUDA isn't just a brush — it's an invitation to turn your daily beauty ritual into an extraordinary moment.
