Why Choose Squirrel Hair?The luxury experience of a super soft brush.

Unmatched Softness: Gentle on sensitive skin, making it perfect for delicate areas.

Natural Finish: Delivers light, diffused application for powder, blush, and highlighter.

Pigment Control: Won't over-apply highly pigmented products, allowing for buildable color, especially good for mattes and shimmers.


Best Uses:

Highlighter & Blush

Finishing & Setting Powders

Eyeshadow Blending & Application


Considerations:

Not for Creams/Liquids:

They can't use them on creams/liquids/shadow sticks since the hairs are so fine, and they're not the best with picking up chunkier glitter shadow formulas.

They're fantastic with mattes and shimmers.

Delicate: Requires gentle use and care; avoid over-washing.

Brand Focus and Positioning: Look for high-quality craftsmanship for durability and precision.


Squirrel Hair Types - Key Analysis of the 4 Main Types:

1. Gray Squirrel Hair: Rare, grayish-black, with fine tips and slightly softer than the finest glossy squirrel hair. Support/powder pickup is slightly weaker, but the feel is pleasing.


2. Red Squirrel Hair: Rare and more expensive than gray squirrel hair, reddish-brown, with extremely fine tips and whitish roots. Extremely soft, perfect for sensitive skin.


3. Common Blue Squirrel Hair: Whitish in color, with slightly better support/powder pickup than gray and red squirrel hair, but the feel is slightly less desirable.
4. Canadian White Squirrel Hair: Snow-white and lustrous, far rarer than common squirrel hair, and priced higher. Support/powder pickup is comparable to common squirrel hair, but the feel is softer and more supple, approaching the softest glossy squirrel hair. Extremely friendly to sensitive skin.

Note: Squirrel hair has fine tips and coarser bottom roots, making it more slimming than goat brushes with the same ferrule size materials.
