BRUSH 38

$38

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.

brush 38 features a blend of natural and synthetic fibers in a tapered, asymmetric brush head with graded bristle lengths. the pinched ferrule creates a fingertip-like shape that is smaller than most cheek brushes. it has a longer-than-standard handle and a lightweight build.

Product FAQ+

can i use brush 38 with cream and powder products?

yes. around 68% of community members report using brush 38 with both cream and powder formulas. the blend of natural and synthetic fibers picks up and distributes both textures effectively. many community members note that cream blushes and liquid highlighters apply smoothly without patchiness.

will this work for precise blush placement on a small face?

this is one of the most common reasons community members reach for brush 38. its tapered, fingertip-like shape is smaller than most cheek brushes, which about 60% of community members say gives them more control over exactly where color lands. several community members with smaller facial features call it a go-to for that reason.

how do i use the different sides of the brush?

community members use the tip for targeted placement of highlighter or pinpoint blush, and the flatter side for broader sweeps of bronzer or contour. some also use a patting motion with the denser base to blend cream products, then flip to the longer bristles to diffuse edges. the asymmetric shape makes it easy to switch techniques without changing brushes.

is brush 38 good for contouring?

about 27% of community members regularly use brush 38 for contour. the tapered shape fits into the hollows of the cheeks and along the jawline, and the graded bristles help soften harsh lines. community members find it works well with both powder and cream contour products.

can i use this as my only face brush when traveling?

many community members say brush 38 is the one brush they pack for travel. its versatility across blush, bronzer, contour, highlighter, and setting powder means it can handle a full cheek routine on its own. the longer handle gives added control, though a small number of community members noted the handle length can make fitting it into compact bags a bit tricky.
