shu uemura Portable Brush Set

The brush was smaller than I expected, but I think I'll still be able to use it. The pouch is also small, but it's convenient for storing other brushes I already own.

The brush was a bit drier than I expected, but the size is small, so it's good for carrying around.

I jumped at the chance to get a set of Shu Uemura brushes at this price, thinking it was a great deal. The actual product is surprisingly compact... The brushes are of good quality, but the handles are shorter than I expected. Is it for travel or carrying around? The case also seems a bit cheap... Plus, it's sized to fit the brushes, so you can't store any additional brushes you already own. The brushes themselves are great, but the set is a bit lacking in many ways, and I found it disappointing.

I like the bristles. They're synthetic, not natural. The brush is made in Japan. The pouch is made in China with a Japanese design. The brush holds just the right amount of powder, preventing overapplication and lasting for a reasonable period of time without any issues when wiped off with a tissue. With magazine supplements and affordable store-bought products, the bristles get so rough and dirty that you want to wash them immediately after use, but this one doesn't. I've been using my original eyeshadow brush for over 10 years, struggling to find one with the same bristles, but I've finally found something that could replace it. I usually apply lipstick directly, so I use the two on the right for eyeshadow. The black brush in the middle was originally intended for blush, but it's a bit thin, so I use it for highlighting or shading the face line. The white brush on the far left is soft and thin for a face brush, so I use it as a blush brush. If the handle isn't too long, you can fit another brush in, so you can store your own face brush next to the white brush. It's great that the entire set fits neatly and is lightweight. In terms of appearance and size, it's like a thinner eyeglass case, about 2.5cm thick. I'd like to wash the pouch when it gets dirty, but that seems difficult, so I think I'll just wipe it with wet tissues and let it dry.

It's just the right size.
