Got the red one. When I use it I have red goat hair all over my face and I have to take time to pick it all off. People mention that it's soft. Uh no... mine wasn't that soft. I wish I could...

First, I feel like I need to make a very obvious statement that descriptive words are very subjective. For example the word "soft", what one person my consider soft another person may actually find...

The 18R, overall, is a great powder brush depending on what you want to use it for.
I like it for applying my Guerlain Meteorites illuminating powder for a soft glow targeted to certain areas. I...

When I am done applying liquid foundation on my face, I set it with some loose powder with a powder puff. I use this brush to dust any excess loose powder off my face. The SA also told me that this...

This is a very soft brush, of course you can get softer brushes like Trish Mcevoy or Hakuhodo, but I'm happy with it, I love the hair color, I use it for very pigmented blushes.

I have the brush with black bristles. I'm pretty disappointed with it. It's not as soft/silky as I'd like. I wouldn't consider it scratchy but the individual bristles are fairly broad and thick. ...

I absolutely love this brush! I got it about a month ago directly from Shu Uemura's website for $48. Yes, it's kinda expensive for a brush. However, the quality of the brush & it's performance blew...

This is brush works great. I have to admit that the price is rather expensive. But keep in mind, you get for what you paid for. Shu Uemura's makeup brushes are high in quality. Their brushes...

I purchased this as well because of the MUA reviews. It was soft at first and then got scratchy after a few washes-now it sits alone in a clean storage bag. I like my badger and trucco powder...

After 7 months of being abused by my MAC 150, I decided to stand up to it, be my own person, and replace it with a Shu Uemura brush, famed for its durability and its exceptional quality. And so, I...

I bought this specifically for use with powder foundations and it's fabulous. You can also use it for blushes and highlighters, but it's the best brush I've ever used with powder foundations. Shu...

I got this brush at the Shu Uemura F&F sale for 20% off. I would never pay full price for this brush. I speak for myself on this having not owned a ton of brushes before. This is the best brush...

I have had this brush for at least ten years and it has never shed. I only rated it a 4 because it is not as soft as other powder brushes. I said I would not buy it again because it may last...

Normally I'd think a bit before spending $45 on a brush but I have a deep love for Shu Uemura products to not think twice about it.
I've seen this brush used a lot and it seems to be a very...
