The Yakusugi Brush Set

Sonia G. Yakusugi Brush Set

‘Tis the season for a special holiday release from Sonia G.: the Yakusugi Brush Set. This limited edition set features two brushes, each handcrafted with precious Yakusugi wood harvested from thousand-year-old Japanese cedar trees only found on the island of Yakushima. The brushes are topped with silky natural bristles, hand-bundled by master artisans for effortless makeup application.

Note: Because Yakusugi wood can only be sourced from naturally fallen trees, you may notice some minor imperfections with color and texture. These variations only reinforce the unique, precious quality of this highly sought-after material.

What’s Included

• Eye Pencil Brush: a silky-soft pencil brush with blue squirrel bristles and a domed tip
• Face Brush: a versatile blush, powder, and bronzer brush with Saibikoho goat bristles

Why It’s Special

• Meticulously handcrafted in small batches by master craftspeople in Kumano and Tokyo, Japan
• Handles are made with thousand-year-old Yakusugi wood, an extremely rare material prized for its beautiful grain and natural fragrance
• Packaged in a wooden box with a decorative plum ornament and wrapped in traditional washi paper

How to Use

Use the Face Brush to apply blush, bronzer, or powders to skin. The Pencil Eye Brush can be used to apply and build up color along the lashline, in the inner and outer corners of the eye, and along the browbone.

Care Instructions

The brushes may be washed, as usual, with a brush shampoo. Avoid getting the handles too wet and wipe them immediately.

Do not remove excess product by tapping it against an object. The wood is very soft and delicate and doing that will damage them. To remove excess product, you may blow on the brush should you need to.

This brush set is not ideal to travel with. They are best kept separate from other items and brushes to maintain their integrity.
