Japonesque CREASE BLENDING

“I use this brush for every eye look as it blends out eyeshadow to create a seamless finish. Use this brush in a windshield wiper motion to blend out shadows. Its bristles are super soft and gentle on the eyes.”

Japonesque ANGLED BROW DEFINER

“This is the perfect brush to use with powder or cream brow products to fill in the brows. I like to use this dense, angled brush to create hair-like strokes to fill in where there are gaps in the brow.”
