When makeup is applied with a brush made of goat hair, you will be able to achieve a polished finish.
With a brush made of squirrel hair, natural and sheer coverage can be achieved.Material Features Goat: Good for more oily skin. Bristles made from goat are good for disguising pores as it distributes makeup evenly.
You can also achieve a radiant finish using the entire surface of the bristles and by using several strokes.
Suitable for powdery products such as lucent powder.Blue squirrel: Suitable for dry, sensitive skin. Bristles made from blue squirrel have little spring but are ultra soft, coverage will be natural and sheer.
Less durable, so use the surface of the bristles gently with the handle held flat.
Although it works well for lucent powder, it is not suitable for liquid or oil based products.
