Shiseido

This semicircular eyeshadow brush is handmade by artisans in Japan and 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. The unique shape is ideal for picking up pigment, applying it evenly to lids and building colour intensity.

Pat the flat side of the brush across lids to deposit pigment and increase color saturation. The semicircular shape also fits snuggly along the top and lower lash lines,to create a seamless smoky eye.
