designed by Alexandra Anele, refined based on feedback from her community.

a do-it-all precision cheek brush. this brush features an innovative single-press ferrule that allows for a shape that's fluffy and blend-able, yet unexpectedly precise.

handcrafted in Japan using a hybrid of natural and synthetic materials to work for both powders and creams.

this brush was sold out in record time during its initial release. we're excited to announce that it will now return as brush 38 in our permanent collection.

Product Details+

Brush 38 features a dual-fiber blend of natural and synthetic bristles set in a pinched ferrule with a tapered, slanted brush head. the elongated handle is longer than standard face brushes. the asymmetric bristle profile has shorter, denser fibers at the base and longer, airier fibers at the tip.

Product FAQ+

can i use this for both cream and powder blush?

yes. roughly 80% of community members confirm Brush 38 works well with both cream and powder formulas. the dual-fiber bristles pick up cream products at the denser base and diffuse powders through the airier tip. a small number of community members prefer using a denser brush for very thick cream formulas.

is this brush good for contouring?

about 31% of community members use Brush 38 for contour. the tapered, slanted shape fits into the hollows of the cheeks and along the jawline for precise sculpting. many note that the smaller head makes it easier to place contour without over-applying, and the longer bristles blend edges naturally.

will this work on a smaller face?

many community members with smaller faces call Brush 38 their go-to cheek brush. the compact head size gives more control over placement, and the tapered tip prevents color from spreading too far. around 12% of community members felt it was too small for their preference, so face size and application style are worth considering.

can i use it for highlighter or setting powder under my eyes?

about 22% of community members use Brush 38 for highlighter on the cheekbones or for pressing setting powder under the eyes. the pointed tip allows targeted placement in smaller areas, and the airy bristles keep the application light and diffused rather than cakey.

how do i get a more precise blush placement with this brush?

community members recommend using the tapered tip of Brush 38 with small circular or stippling motions to lay down color exactly where you want it. build in light layers, especially with pigmented formulas, to avoid overdoing it. the longer handle encourages a lighter grip, which many find helps with control and a more natural finish.
