BRUSH 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.

Product FAQ+−
can i use this for both cream and powder blush?
yes. about 68% of community members confirm Brush 38 works well with both cream and powder formulas. the dual-fiber bristles pick up cream products at the denser base and diffuse powders through the airy tapered tip. some community members keep two, one dedicated to creams and one to powders, to avoid mixing textures during a single application.
will this work if i have a small face?
many community members with smaller facial features say Brush 38 is one of the few cheek brushes sized right for them. about 78% of community members value the precision the compact head provides for targeted placement. it lets you build color gradually without overshooting onto areas you want to keep clean.
how do i use the two different sides of the brush?
the denser, shorter side is what most community members use to pick up and deposit product onto the cheek. the longer, tapered tip is used for diffusing edges and softening lines. some community members also flip the brush to use the flat of the bristles for broader sweeps of bronzer or blush across a wider area.
is this too small to use as my only face brush?
around 15% of community members felt Brush 38 was smaller than expected. however, many community members who travel say it works as a one-brush solution for blush, contour, highlighter, and setting powder. if you prefer large, sweeping motions for bronzer or finishing powder, you may want to pair it with a bigger brush for those steps.
what is the best way to apply pigmented blushes without overdoing it?
community members recommend using the tapered tip of Brush 38 with light, circular strokes to lay down color gradually. the bristles naturally limit how much product they pick up, which about 62% of community members say prevents the heavy-handed look. you can build intensity by layering rather than pressing harder into the pan.
