What it is
The 0. 04mm ultra-fine bristles supplely adhere to the skin. The brush has excellent powder-holding properties and is gentle on the skin like natural bristles, making it light to use. The three-dimensionally curved brush fits the cheek and highlighter zone from any angle. It creates a soft and fluffy finish that looks like the color is coming from within, rather than being applied to the skin. This is a high-quality makeup brush that is unique to Koh Gen Do, which knows the professional photo shoot scene. Total length: Approximately 155mm Hair quality: PBT

I originally bought a NARS cheek brush, but it was too small for me, so I decided to use it for highlighting and bought this one instead. The bristles are very soft and don't irritate my cheeks. The size is just right!
I liked that the bristles were soft and didn't irritate my skin, but the blush color didn't blend well with my skin (although I think that may have something to do with how I use it and the compatibility with the blush I use...). It seems like it would take a bit more practice to get the hang of it, so I gave it a slightly lower rating since it's not exactly easy for beginners to use.
Of all the blush brushes I've used so far, this is my favorite. It's not scratchy, picks up powder well, and applies color beautifully. The brush is just the right thickness and size, making it easy to apply to the desired area. There was a time when I was particular about natural bristles, but this brush is easy to maintain and I was more than satisfied with it. Apart from the product reviews, as other reviews have mentioned, I also found a crease in the plastic on the brush, which was a disappointment.
It's certainly soft and fluffy, and not cheap, but the creases in the vinyl are quite stiff, which is a shame. The brush itself is good, and even I, who's not good at brushing, can use it. It bends when you touch it, and the angle is easily adjustable thanks to the same diagonal cut on both sides. It's not too dense, so you can adjust it from thin to thin, and it's the perfect size, not too big or too small. This is the brush I've been looking for! Update: I've raised the rating. I own brushes from many famous brands, but this is the most impressive and strongest brush! They say that tools are a pain, but even if you don't know how to use it, this is usable and amazing. It suddenly makes my skin look beautiful, so they're right. I want a few more.
The bristles are soft, which is great for my sensitive skin. I feel like the blush blends in better with my skin. The handle is easy to grip, so it's easy to use.
