The Most Popular Makeup Brush in Japan - Shiseido Foundation Brush 131

Last week, I found Shiseido official YouTube video. In this video, Keiko Hasegawa, a Shiseido employee in Japan is sharing her 3 minute makeup challenge. I was really surprised that she is only using one makeup brush, Shiseido Foundation Brush 131, for applying foundation, bronzer, highlighter, blush, eyeshadow and eyebrow! She says, "With using Shiseido 131, you can apply all makeup except for lipstick". She also says that she really loves this excellent brush, and all Shiseido female employees probably have this brush too.

I searched about this brush and found that this is the best selling makeup brush in Japan according to @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review site. This was also selected the Best Cosmetic Awards of 2012, 2013 and 2014 by @cosme. It has so many positive reviews in Japan.

In this video, this Japanese makeup artist, Hiromi Yamamoto, explains how to use Shiseido Foundation Brush 131. She is the most famous professional makeup artist in Japan. When I lived in Japan, I've often seen her on Japanese fashion and beauty magazines. She says, "Starting around nose, just pat the foundation on your face with using this brush".

Shiseido Foundation Brush 131 is only selling in Japan. You can also find one on Amazon US though. I think I should get one when I visit Japan next time. You can purchase this brush at most Japanese drugstores. If you are planning on traveling in Japan, you really should check one there. :)
