In my research about Geisha makeup, I stumbled upon this great site that offers authentic or traditional Japanese makeup brushes. Hakuhodo has made the availability of Japanese Asian beauty tools possible in the West.
I reckon since these makeup tools are still being used by Kabuki actors, makeup artists in Hollywood and us common folk for the very same reasons why they were made. Of course, they’re commonly used for the purposes of putting on Geisha-Maiko makeup, but it can also be used by stage actors or other performers for “costume”. I’m thinking, people who do mime or rock artists like Kiss will find this tool useful.
Materials used for the brush’s hair are either Goat or Kolinsky.
I love the brushes, would you reccomend the small craftsman lip brush?
