brush 28 features a blend of natural goat hair and synthetic fibers in a flat, pinched shader shape with slightly longer bristles than similar brushes in the line. the compact brush head is dense yet thin in profile, with a rounded tip. it is handcrafted in kumano, japan, and has a lightweight matte handle with a short, travel-friendly length.

Product FAQ+

can i use brush 28 for cream eyeshadow?

yes. roughly 41% of community members use brush 28 with cream or liquid eyeshadow formulas and report smooth, even application. the mix of natural and synthetic fibers helps the brush pick up cream products without absorbing too much, and many note it blends edges well enough that a second brush is not always needed.

will this work on hooded eyes?

absolutely. about 30% of community members specifically mention having hooded or small eyes and say brush 28 is one of the few brushes compact enough to place shadow precisely on a limited lid space. the narrow, flat profile lets you pack color right up to the crease without overshooting.

how does brush 28 handle glitter and shimmer shadows?

this is where community members say brush 28 shines. around 68% use it primarily for shimmer, glitter, or metallic shadows and report strong pigment pickup with minimal fallout. some community members spray the brush lightly with setting spray for extra intensity. a small number of community members noted that very chunky or loose glitters may still apply better with a fingertip.

can i use it for anything besides eyeshadow?

many community members have found additional uses for brush 28. popular alternatives include spot concealing under the eyes, smudging eyeliner, applying lip color, and placing highlight on the brow bone or inner corner. roughly 15% of community members mention using it regularly for concealer application.

is brush 28 different enough from brush 02 to own both?

community members who own both say brush 28 is slightly narrower and has longer bristles than brush 02, making it better suited for precise, detailed work and cream or liquid formulas. many reach for brush 28 when they want more control in smaller areas or when working with shimmer and metallic textures specifically.
