How To Use

I used Shu for foundation, lipstick, cleansing oil, and more until my 30s, but now I only use eyeshadow. Shu's lip brush and eyebrow brush are truly outstanding, and I've been using these two products since I was 26 without ever changing them. I got my eyebrows tattooed five years ago, so now I only use brushes. It's been 23 years (a long time), and I still haven't replaced my 6F Sable at home, even though I use it four days a week. For my portable brush, I've replaced it once with a silver holder (though it's commonplace now, but back in the day, no manufacturer made a sliding brush). Both brushes are feather-free, tweezers-free, and smudge-free, making them incredibly easy to apply with any brand of lipstick. I told a friend about this, and when she tried them, she showed me my brush and exclaimed, "You're kidding! What's this? It's so easy to apply! Is it really been 23 years?!" So we headed to Shu together to check it out and see what I was thinking! It seemed like my friend was ecstatic! She immediately bought the silver portable brush. There, among the many brushes lined up, my eye caught the bright red bristled 18R, a thick brush I impulsively bought 23 years ago just for its appearance. "Oh, it's still in production..." I thought, feeling nostalgic, and picked it up without thinking, rubbing it against my cheek. "Ouch, ouch, it hurts! It really does hurt. They haven't improved it in 23 years." My friend also rubbed it against me... "It stings, that's bad."... Haku●do brushes are also excellent, but when it comes to lip brushes and naginata-shaped eyebrow brushes, Shu is, for me, number one, the best, a monumental achievement. Shu Uemura passed away after Christmas in December 2007, so I still pray for his soul to rest in peace and will continue to keep an eye on Shu's future endeavors (tears).
It's been almost 10 years, but it's still going strong and in great condition. There's no lipstick brush that's easier to use. I bought a silver-holder lipstick brush from Shu for my portable use, but this one is definitely easier to use. It's a thin, flat brush, making it easy to pick up lipstick, and its wide width allows for a precise, even application. Applying lip balm before makeup with this brush also makes it easier to apply lipstick. Perhaps it's because it applies evenly, unlike with your fingers. I bought it after seeing it featured in an article by Nakano Akimi on August 23, 2009. It's a wide, flat brush. When I applied RMK Creamy Lips, it applied smoothly and evenly. The finish is incomparable to applying it directly. I was able to apply a dark lipstick I received as a gift, and it applied naturally, and I've become adept at using it. The finish really is different when you apply it with a brush. It really shows the power of tools. I recommend it. I want the same one for my portable use. I've read reviews saying that Shu's silver-holder portable version is similar, so I'd like to buy one someday.
I think it's a lip brush, but I bought it to use as an eyeliner with the darker color of my eyeshadow. It gives a beautiful color and allows me to draw the line as I want.
The handle is long and easy to use, but the bristles don't last very long.
I want one to keep on hand too. The thin, flat brush allows you to apply lipstick without taking too much. It's wide, so you can apply it evenly and precisely. It's easy to use even for someone like me who has thin lips. If you use this brush to apply lip balm before makeup, the lipstick will go on more easily.
