yUKI Brush
High-end handmade brushes from the historical Kumano, Hiroshima prefecture where the world’s most exquisite brushes have been made for centuries. Developed by yUKI TAKESHIMA, makeup artist and beauty innovator, and the only artisan who can craft brushes to match today’s modern makeup method, Tetsubune Takemori. Brushes are precisely designed to feature a unique curve for the contours of the face with special cuticles that hold more product for the smoothest makeup application. Each brush has the Kumano Brush ® brand stamp and a serial number as proof of authenticity.
yUKI graduated from Christian Chauveau in Paris and worked as a makeup artist for high profile fashion shows in London, Milan and Paris. yUKI has contributed to the beauty industry for over 30 years, collaborating with prominent domestic + international fashion magazines, and providing makeup artistry for advertising campaigns.

When global celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Miranda Kerr visit Japan, they ask for yUKI.
