Cosmetic brushes using Silver Fox

Goat hair is one of the most common types of hair used for cosmetic brushes. The wavy strands easily expand towards the tip, giving it a fluffy, airy feel and positive firmness that make it excellent at holding powders. In addition to loose powders, it also handles a variety of other types of cosmetics, such as pressed and liquid, and features good color production. The material is also durable and easy to handle.
Goat hair comes in several grades including Sokouhou, a relatively soft and fine hair selected from the goat’s chest, and Saikouhou, a grade of only the best fibers selected from Sokouhou.

Horse hair is one of the most common types of hair used for cosmetic brushes. This supple, straight hair offers excellent color production and is appropriate for blush and eye shadow.

Many brushes use shorter horse hair to make up for the lack of firmness, and adapt to the skin through use. The material is also durable and easy to handle.

Tanuki hair features soft tips, thickness, and suppleness. It features less scattering of powders and a good skin feel, for a hair quality with a natural texture.

It is mainly used for brushes for eyebrows and concealers as well as screw brushes.

Weasel hair was long considered the highest quality hair for calligraphy brushes. Weasel hair combines a unique bend with soft tips but firm strands. They are excellent at applying lines, and offer good color production.

They work well not only with powders, but with liquid and cream cosmetics as well, and are primarily used in brushes for eye shadow, eyeliner, and lips.
We offer a wide variety of hairs in addition to those above, so please feel free to ask.
