Hi all!

This is my first time posting in a makeup sub and I feel a little out of place. I wear light makeup daily for work but that’s about it- so I’m definitely not a big makeup person.

Anyways, I have many random brushes that I use daily. None of them are high quality except for maybe one that was donated to me from my older sister. I’m struggling because I have perioral dermatitis that is triggered by many things and something that seems to cause flare-ups is “abrasive” materials. My current makeup brushes seem to be too “abrasive” for my skin and are constantly causing a problem for me.

That being said, can anyone recommend SOFT makeup brushes? I mean soft like hair-coated-in-leave-in conditioner-soft or like your favorite fuzzy blanket.

Thank you in advance!!! Links are super appreciated!

    It’s time you try Kumano Fude. Japanese brushes. Fude is like an entire makeup brush subculture. Google and learn all about it but in short, natural bristles that are bundled by Hand- and the natural tips are never cut into shape. Hence the hand bundling for shape. This technique along with using various grades or higher and higher quality (softness) bristles leads to the absolute softest brushes on earth. Beautylish selks a few brands of fude if you live in the USA. Wayne goss, Sonia g, koyudo, and Chikuhodo to name a few. They’re more expensive (sometimes) but many options are on par with prices from NARS, MAC, and few other high end brands at Sephora for example. You won’t find softer than fude
