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 Details+

brush 38 features a tapered, asymmetric brush head with a mix of natural and synthetic fibers set in a pinched ferrule. the bristle arrangement is denser at the base and airier toward the tips, creating a graduated profile. the handle is longer than standard length. the compact head size sits between a typical face brush and an eye brush.

Reviews+

community members overwhelmingly praise brush 38 for its versatility and precision, with roughly 85% highlighting its ability to handle both cream and powder products effectively. around 78% of community members call out the tapered shape as a standout feature for targeted placement of blush, contour, and highlighter. the most common critique, noted by approximately 15% of community members, is that the brush head feels smaller than expected, which can limit coverage for those who prefer larger face brushes. a small number of community members noted the bristles could be slightly denser or firmer for heavier cream products.

Usage+

precision blush placement (68%)
cream and powder contour blending (42%)
targeted highlighter application (29%)

Product FAQ+

can i use this for both cream and powder blush?

yes. roughly 78% of community members confirm that brush 38 works well with both cream and powder formulas. the natural and synthetic fiber blend picks up cream products at the denser base while the airier tips help diffuse powder smoothly. some community members keep two, one dedicated to each formula.

is this brush good for contouring?

about 42% of community members use brush 38 for contour. the tapered shape fits into the hollows of the cheeks and along the jawline, allowing precise placement. community members note the graduated bristles make it easy to blend out harsh lines for a natural, sculpted finish.

will this work on a small face?

many community members with smaller facial features say brush 38 is one of the few face brushes that fits their proportions well. the compact head size allows controlled placement without overspreading product. around 15% of community members with larger faces or preferences for bigger brushes find it a bit small for all-over application.

what's the best way to apply blush without going overboard?

community members recommend using the tapered tip of brush 38 with light, circular strokes to build color gradually. the brush naturally picks up a moderate amount of pigment, which about 68% of community members say prevents heavy-handed application. the longer handle also encourages a lighter grip, giving you more control over pressure and placement.

can i use this brush for highlighter and under-eye powder?

yes. around 29% of community members use brush 38 for highlighter on the high points of the cheeks, and a notable portion also use it for setting under-eye concealer with powder. the compact, tapered head fits the under-eye area well and deposits a controlled, even layer without disturbing the product underneath.
