Apply water-based cosmetics seamlessly with this classic Japanese flat makeup brush in black. Featuring a sturdy plastic handle and natural goat hair bristles, this compact tool delivers smooth, even coverage across the skin. Flat brushes of this style, known as ita-hake, have long been used in traditional Japanese stage makeup, helping performers build the bold, defined looks associated with kabuki and character work.
Designed specifically for water-based cosmetics, it works beautifully with kabuki white makeup, face cake, quick powder, liquid makeup, neri-oshiroi, tonoko, and shudo powder. To use, wet the bristles thoroughly with water, then work them into your cosmetic on a dish until the tips are evenly coated with color. Sweep the brush quickly across the skin while the mixture is still damp, then pat gently with a sponge to set the color in place.
The brush measures 87mm in total length, with a 26mm hair length and a broad 50mm base width. To keep the goat hair in good condition, swish the brush gently in lukewarm water mixed with a little mild detergent, taking care to keep the plastic handle dry. Rinse thoroughly, squeeze out the excess water, reshape the bristles, and let the brush dry fully in the shade.
