Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.
How long does delivery take?
These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.
- United States: 12 to 15 business days
- Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany: 9 to 12 business days
- Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland: 10 to 13 business days
- China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam: 8 to 10 business days
- Rest of the world: 11 to 18 business days
Actual delivery can be affected by customs clearance, seasonal congestion, or carrier delays in the destination country, all of which are outside our control.
Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
The brush is a little hard, but it feels good on the skin. I use it to apply deep colors.
I love NARS brushes, and I'm satisfied with my other brushes, so I wondered if this brush would be good, and it wasn't on my priority list, but I was curious and bought it anyway. NARS brushes are the best after all. It's not just "good," it's "really good!!" It gives a strong pigmentation, but it feels nice on the skin and can be used on the upper and lower eyelids, as well as on the eyebrows. I tried using it on my eyebrows, and the dark color applied softly and beautifully, which was great. I don't have much hair at the end of my eyebrows, so I'm really happy that I can apply the color in such a soft, nice, wide range. I can get a decent finish just by moving from eyeshadow to eyebrow, so it makes eyebrow application easier.

This one was also bigger than I expected. It wasn't small at all, and the cross section is also exquisitely asymmetrical, so it will probably take some time to get used to it. When I started collecting NARS eyeshadow brushes, I noticed that they only come in large or extra small sizes, and there are no small ones. I have yet to find a brush that I like to use for highlighting or on the lower eyelid.
I wanted a maneuverable eye makeup brush, so I read a lot of reviews and decided on this one. It's thicker than I expected, and the color seems to stick pretty well. It's easy to use.
