Handcrafted in Kumano, Japan, by the oldest brush maker in the world using traditional techniques, this silky, cruelty-free blush brush creates a flattering, just-went-for-a-run flush with cream blush. Makeup artist Gucci Westman designed it with finely tapered bristles and a rounded shape for both precision and incredible blendability, to give you a gorgeously natural look. “Smooth it over the apples of the cheeks using horizontal oval strokes,” she says. “You can do a single shade, or I love using it to mix multiple shades of Baby Cheeks for the perfect rosy glow.” The lacquered handle is made of hardwood birch from a Forest Stewardship Council–certified forest in Eastern Europe. Truly, this brush is as special—and as high-performance—as it gets.
