BRUSH 28

$18

brush 28 is a variant of our flagship shader brush 02, designed based on feedback received from our customers. with a mix of natural/synthetic fibres and a more compact profile, brush 28 is a shader that excels at precision application of liquids, creams & shimmers.

handcrafted by master artisans in Kumano, Japan using a blend of natural and synthetic fibers.

bristle length: 11mm

Product Details+
brush 28 features a blend of natural goat and synthetic fibers in a flat, pinched paddle shape with slightly longer bristles than the 02. the compact brush head measures smaller than a standard shader, with a rounded tip that tapers to a thin edge. it is handcrafted in kumano, japan, with a lightweight matte-finish handle and a short profile designed for close, controlled work.
Reviews+
community members overwhelmingly praise brush 28 for its shimmer and cream shadow performance, with roughly 65% highlighting how well it picks up and deposits shimmery, metallic, and glitter textures. about 30% specifically call out the size as ideal for hooded or smaller eyes. the brush earns consistent marks for softness and versatility across powder, cream, and liquid formulas. a small number of community members noted they wish it were slightly denser or wider, and around 8% mentioned that finger application still edges it out for maximum shimmer intensity. a few community members found it too similar to brush 21 or brush 02 to justify owning both.
Usage+
  • packing shimmer and metallic shadows on the lid (65%)
  • applying cream and liquid eyeshadows (28%)
  • smudging or defining the lower lash line (12%)
Product FAQ+

can i use brush 28 for cream eyeshadow or just powder?

brush 28 works well with both. about 28% of community members specifically use it for cream and liquid eyeshadows, praising how the mixed natural and synthetic fibers pick up and spread creamy textures smoothly on the lid. many also use it interchangeably with powder shimmers and mattes.

will this work on hooded eyes?

yes. roughly 30% of community members mention using brush 28 on hooded or smaller eyes. the compact brush head fits neatly on limited lid space and allows precise placement without spreading color into the crease. many say it is the reason they can finally use shimmer shadows with confidence.

how is brush 28 different from brush 21 or brush 02?

community members describe brush 28 as slightly longer in bristle length and a bit fluffier than brush 21, making it softer on the lid. compared to brush 02, it is narrower and more compact, which gives it more precision for detailed work. about 10% of community members use both 28 and 21 for slightly different tasks.

does it pick up glitter and shimmer as well as using my finger?

most community members say brush 28 comes closer to finger-like application than any other brush they have tried, especially for multichromes and foils. around 8% still prefer fingers for maximum shimmer intensity but note brush 28 offers far better precision and less fallout. spraying the brush lightly with setting spray can boost pigment payoff.

what else can i use brush 28 for besides eyeshadow?

community members have found several creative uses. popular ones include spot concealing under the eyes, smudging pencil eyeliner, applying inner corner highlight, blending along the lower lash line, and even using it as a lip brush. its thin edge makes it surprisingly versatile for detailed face work beyond just the eyelid.
