![]() As cute as those designs are, those three have nearly identical brush heads which is already practically the same as the Tiger brush, so I didn’t feel any pressure to add those to my cart. I still recommend this for collectors, but for someone looking for a more functional or versatile brush, I would direct them to Chikuhodo’s Z series and FO series.Īt launch, Beautylish also restocked the previous Lunar New Year brushes as well: Pig, Rat, and Ox. For those who don’t and would like a light/medium density powder brush, this might be a good place to start since comparable brushes to this would be a little more expensive. This is a beautiful powder brush, but if you already own one with grey/blue/ash squirrel hair, you’re not missing out by not having it. It’s so soft and light that I barely feel any pressure on my skin. Honestly, this is more of a collector item for me and not one I intend to use a lot. Anything looser packed than that, I consider to be more ideal for setting/finishing powders. If I use a squirrel hair brush for blush, I prefer one that’s thicker and more round like the Z-1. Although it picks up a small amount of product, when that product is very pigmented it takes more effort than I like to buff it out because it’s not dense enough for that. ![]() I can use this for highlighter (when applied just on the very tips), blush (when I use sweeping motions across the cheek), and bronzer, but in my eyes this is a dedicated all over face powder brush. ![]() This brush is unbelievably silky soft and of course perfect for those who want a very sheer application of powder. This brush is still hand bundled with an exquisitely detailed lacquered handle using the maki-e process. As long as the brush is high quality, which it is, it doesn’t matter to me which Japanese company created it. Even if another Fude company created this brush, I’m still happy that it has the Chikuhodo aesthetic with the large round shiny handle similar to the Z-series. They did not announce which brush-maker created this year’s brush, but in the past is was Chikuhodo. This is why I succumbed to the temptation and finally bought one of Beautylish’s collaborative Lunar New Year brushes. In addition, for half of my life the Tiger was my favorite animal. This brush depicts the most adorable chubby kitty with tiger stripes, which does make it significant to me in my interpretation of this design (it’s an inside joke). In my Beauty Resolutions post, I mentioned that I should only purchase Lunar New Year items that had personal significance to me (ex: Year of the Dragon).
