The bristles are packed just right for picking up shimmer without dumping it everywhere, and the compact head lets me blend right in the crease without poking my lid. Soft enough that my sensitive eyes don't water, even working with bold pigments back and forth.

Took me a bit to get the hang of the size, but now I use it for almost every look—it blends out shimmer shadows so smoothly without muddying the color. The handcrafted feel is noticeable, and the bristles pick up just the right amount of product.

The bristles are so densely packed and soft that blending shimmery shadows took me half the time it usually does. You can really feel the handcrafted quality from Kumano the moment you hold it.
