Does its job well

Really just a great workhorse pencil brush. The hairs are kind of long and have a good amount of movement. It has held its shape impeccably since I got it. The tip is incredibly precise and pointy, and I can't feel individual brush hairs. Softness is what you'd expect with saikoho. Does its job of blending powders at the lash line and smudging out pencil liners valiantly. Also really good for precisely applying dark colors in the crease and outer corner and highlighters in the inner corner. I try to use this with a light hand to not splay the tip too much. I like this so much more than most of my other synthetic pencil/smudge brushes, though those have their place.

Amazing

This is easily my favorite face brush. Holds up well to gentle washing and not always kind usage. Seemingly consistent shape and quality across multiple brushes. Very minimal shedding and has held its shape quite well.

The tapered paddle shape is perfect for what it's recommended for and is crazy versatile depending on how you hold it. I use it with every powder face product I own, and sometimes even for a really soft wash of eyeshadow. It really effortlessly blends blushes and highlighters. I especially love light contouring and buffing in blush with this brush. Truly feels like an airy, soft dream. The value and quality of it is unreal. I don't mind the small size at all. I thought I might at first, but if anything, it and the squirrel fibers help with not going too crazy and applying makeup where I don't want it. It's amazing and I love both of mine.
