The Year of the Rabbit "Plum Blossom" Brush Set

I own many nice and super soft brushes, but boy oh boy…. ever since using this set, I discovered what really ‘soft’ means when talking about good quality makeup brushes. It also has me looking weirdly (in a predatory way) to every squirrel I see in my backyard… I better not see a red one… because it may end up in my vanity table (just kidding!!) 🤣🤣🤣😜

I am so pleased I decided to get this set.. it was the first red squirrel set I purchased and am blown away by how much I love it. (And have now purchased multiple other red squirrel brushes because I love it so much l!) The red squirrel hair is beyond soft.. noticeably softer than gray or Canadian squirrel. Which is perfect for me because I have very sensitive, reactive skin so it’s lovely being able to use these because I never have any issues whatsoever when it comes to irritation. The craftsmanship on this set is gorgeous, I absolutely adore the little bunnies and the shell has such great color play. I’m extremely tempted to purchase another set to keep in pristine condition.. we shall see;) All in all, if you are on the fence regarding these.. do it!! You will be so happy you did!! Oh and I loved how it came wrapped in that beautiful pink Japanese paper.. so much so I saved it and folded it up so I could put it inside the paulownia box:) So cute!!💖 Btw, my kitty was loving these brushes too! She wouldn’t stop smelling them.. it was really cute!

What else can I say besides these are heavenly. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep them because I just wasn't sure that I liked the design. Its just not my aesthetic but I was drawn in but the allure of Red Squirrel hair and the rarity of it... I am a big fude lover and collector. I have never owned this type of hair before and it blows all my grey and blue squirrels away, as well as all my different goat hairs mids and highs. Blue squirrel has always been the best to me, but this Red squirrel is in a league of its own. And though I am not drawn to the aesthetic of these brushes the softness and ability to create deep pigment with barely picking up any product, as well as the airbrush quality of these brushes makes them among my most favorite brushes in my collection now. I am so happy I have them and I am so happy I didn't return them. They are the best brushes I own. I adore them and how they make my face look and feel like that of an angel.

I feel so lucky to own this set. The cheek brush is so delicate and beautiful, and works well with softer powders. I can lightly buff but wouldn't want to push this brush too far because of the softness of the red squirrel. It is rare these days to find a set made entirely out of red squirrel these are stunning in person and so easy to use. The largest eyeshadow brush is one I reach for probably daily. It can blend, lay down color on the lid, or if I use the tip, I can lay down color in the crease. The smallest brush is fantastic. It can do all of your eye work: inner eye, lid, crease, smudge the lower lash line. I've washed them a couple of times now. I consider these brushes to be perfection, and the handle design is stunning. I hope other people can buy these and Beautylish restocks these soon.

This brush set is stunning and comes in a set of three, cheek brush and two eyeshadow brushes. All three brushes feature extremely rare red-hair squirrel hair bundled on black Japanese cherry wood handles and gold-coated brass ferrules. I absolutely love the chopstick style handles and the cute Mother of pearl rabbit inlay and plum blossoms. I have used these twice and LOVE the natural diffused look I get with my blush. The eyeshadow brushes are a perfect companion to each other and I found that they worked great for the quick elegant look I was going after. I Was able to build up depth in the outer corner with the smaller shader brush. Such a gorgeous brush set to have in your collection, especially if you’re a serious collector. I will proudly display these on my vanity Deborah
