So be warned when you choose this brush, it wont pack on shadows. I use it to diffuse and it works perfectly.

I love it! It is the softest and luxurious brush I have ever used. It works so well in my creases and makes my make up look airbrushed. OMG the brush makes me so happy. I have amazing japanese crafted brushes but this one is especially good. When you like high quality it is a must have… it's a dream

I really love the craftsmanship of this brush. It's lightweight but still luxurious. You can see that it's crafted in Japan. Application wise, for someone who prefers a punch for their makeup, this won't fly. This isn't for those who are looking for drama. This brush is for blown out eyeshadow placements, soft definition and intricate crease work. It really does shine there. The term smoky is deceptive, it makes one think that this brush is one stop shop for a smoky eye. Actually, it's the answer to making smoky eyes less garish and more sophisticated. It allows for gradual gradient eye shadow placement and subtle contrast. I am a fan, because I like makeup to look effortless. This one is for the people who prefer a sense of luxury to their makeup!
