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

bristle length: 11mm

Product Details+
brush 28 is a compact, flat shader brush with a blend of natural goat hair and synthetic fibers. the bristle head is thin and slightly elongated with a rounded tip, mounted on a lightweight matte handle. its pinched, dense profile is narrower than brush 02, designed for targeted lid coverage.

  • smudging shadow on lower lash line or inner corner (19%)
Product FAQ+

will this work on hooded eyes?

yes. roughly 68% of community members who mention eye shape say brush 28 works well for hooded or smaller eyes. the compact head fits precisely on limited lid space without depositing color above the crease. many note it is one of the few brushes that lets them place shimmer exactly where they want it.

can i use this for cream eyeshadow?

about 34% of community members use brush 28 specifically for cream and liquid eyeshadow. the blend of natural and synthetic fibers picks up cream formulas smoothly and distributes them evenly on the lid. several community members also use it for cream shadow sticks and eye primers with good results.

is it good enough for shimmers that i can skip using my finger?

most community members say brush 28 comes very close to finger application for shimmer and metallic shadows. around 62% use it as their go-to shimmer brush, noting strong pigment pickup and minimal fallout. some suggest dampening the brush with setting spray for even more intense payoff on drier or chunkier formulas.

what else can i use this brush for besides eyeshadow?

community members report using brush 28 for spot concealing, blending under-eye corrector, smudging pencil liner, applying lipstick, and placing highlight on the brow bone. about 19% specifically mention lower lash line work. its flat, thin profile makes it useful anywhere precise product placement is needed.

how does it compare to brush 02 or brush 21?

community members generally describe brush 28 as narrower and slightly longer in bristle length than brush 02, making it more precise for detail work. compared to brush 21, many find brush 28 a touch fluffier and better suited to cream formulas. roughly 15% of community members own multiple versions and alternate based on the texture of the shadow they are using.
