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. roughly 70% of community members report using Brush 38 with both cream and powder formulas successfully. the dual-fiber bristles pick up cream products at the denser base while the airier tips help blend and diffuse. a small number of community members noted they prefer a denser brush for heavier cream textures, but most find it handles both formats well.

will this work for contour or is it just a blush brush?

about 22% of community members use Brush 38 specifically for contour and sculpting. the tapered, asymmetric shape lets you place product precisely in the hollows of the cheeks, and the graduated bristles blend harsh lines naturally. many community members describe it as a true multitasker across blush, contour, highlighter, and even undereye setting powder.

is this a good brush for someone with a small face?

community members with smaller faces frequently call Brush 38 their go-to cheek brush. the compact brush head offers more control and precise placement than larger face brushes, which many find too diffuse. the tapered tip also helps target specific areas without spreading product beyond where you want it.

how do i get a natural, not overdone look with pigmented blushes?

many community members praise Brush 38 for taming highly pigmented blushes. the airier tips pick up a controlled amount of product so you can build gradually. use the tapered side for initial placement with light circular strokes, then flip to the broader side to blend and soften edges for a diffused, natural finish.

can i use the different sides of the brush for different steps?

yes, and this is one of the most popular techniques among community members. the longer tapered side works well for precise placement of color or highlighter, while the shorter, denser side is suited for blending and contour. some community members even dedicate each side to a different product in the same routine, like contour on one side and blush on the other.
