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

bristle length: 11mm

Product Details+
brush 28 features a mix of natural and synthetic fibers in a flat, pinched paddle shape with a slightly rounded tip. the bristle profile is compact and thin, narrower than brush 02, with a moderate density and gentle flexibility. it is handcrafted in kumano, japan, and comes with a short matte-finish handle.
Reviews+
community members overwhelmingly praise brush 28 for its ability to pick up and deposit shimmer, metallic, and cream eyeshadows with precision. roughly 82% highlight its performance with shimmers and textured formulas as a standout quality. about 68% of community members note the soft yet firm bristle feel, and many with hooded or small eyes (approximately 18%) call it a go-to for navigating limited lid space. a small number of community members noted they still prefer finger application for the most intense shimmer payoff, and around 8% wished the brush were slightly denser or wider for fuller coverage.
Usage+
  • packing shimmer and metallic shadows on the lid (61%)
  • applying cream and liquid eyeshadows (27%)
  • smudging or placing shadow on the lower lash line (12%)
Product FAQ+

can i use brush 28 on hooded eyes?

yes. roughly 18% of community members specifically mention using brush 28 on hooded or small eyes. its compact, narrow profile fits easily onto limited lid space, and the slightly rounded tip helps place color precisely in the outer corner and inner third without overshooting the crease.

does brush 28 work better than using my finger for shimmers?

most community members say brush 28 gets close to finger-like payoff with shimmers and metallics, while offering more precision. around 10% still prefer fingers for maximum sparkle intensity. many find that lightly dampening the brush with setting spray bridges the gap for chunkier or flakier formulas.

what is the difference between brush 28 and brush 21?

community members frequently compare the two. brush 28 is slightly shorter in bristle length, a touch fluffier, and uses a mix of natural and synthetic fibers, making it better suited for cream and liquid formulas. brush 21 is thinner and often preferred for very precise shimmer placement. many community members own both and use them for slightly different steps.

will this work for a quick one-and-done eye look?

brush 28 works well for a simple wash of color, especially with cream or satin shadows. about 15% of community members use it as their only eyeshadow brush for everyday looks. those with larger lid space sometimes find it a bit small for full-lid coverage in one pass and pair it with a wider brush.

can i use brush 28 for anything other than eyeshadow?

community members have found several alternative uses. it is popular for spot concealing, under-eye concealer blending, smudging pencil liner, and even as a lip brush. roughly 12% mention using it for concealer or lower lash line work alongside its primary eyeshadow role.
