Shiseido Hanen Fude Shading Brush

This semicircular tool handmade by artisans in Japan features Hidden Core Technology to help maintain its shape over time and prevent skipping or streaking. The synthetic bristles allow for use with any texture, including powders, creams, and gels.

Named after traditional Japanese calligraphy brushes, hanen translates to “half-moon” or “semicircle.” This unique shape is ideal for picking up pigment, applying it evenly to lids, and building color intensity.

Densely packed bristles create a sturdy interior that is surrounded by a perimeter of soft, flexible fibers for easy blending and a streak-free finish. Compatible with all makeup textures, these animal-friendly fibers feature tapered tips that conform to facial contours. Crafted to fit comfortably in the hand, the modern design makes for controlled application.
