Brushes E01-E03 and F08 are natural goat hair; E04 is natural horse hair; E05 is a horse and synthetic blend; P06 and P07 are synthetic; F09 is a goat and synthetic blend. All of our brushes contain only the highest quality bristles, which have been inspected, combed, vetted, and chosen for each brush.

Japan! Our brushes are made in Japan by Japanese artisans who have honed their fude making skills for many, many years.

The brush handles of our brushes are maple wood; we chose to keep our handles uncoloured, so the natural grain of the beautiful maple can be seen. They're coated, so you don't have to worry about wear and tear. Because they're natural wood, each and every brush handle has its own unique wood grain. Our brush handles are also FSC-Certified, responsibly sourced.

No! We wish we could be so talented. Our brushes are hand-crafted in Japan by practiced, professional artisans.

SO glad you asked. Our brushes are all artisan-crafted in an 80-step, machine-less process, wherein the tips of the bristles are kept on. Other manufacturers cut the tips of the bristles off to shape them...but they're the softest part that makes the brush the best at blending! The manufacturing process of our brushes is truly special. You can find out more about it here.

But even beyond that, what makes us so special is that even with the highest quality, highest performing, most-sought-after-manufacturing-process, we choose to keep our prices low, without the typical markup that has become so standard for brushes of such quality (from 500 to even 3000%!). Because we believe that every makeup wearer deserves the best brushes, that don't break the bank.
