Badger hair has the firmest bristles, which makes it ideal for eyebrow brushes, fan brushes, bronzer brushes and for grooming. Badger hair typically comes from China and is similar to sable hair in the sense that it has a thicker middle and a thin top, tapering out into a conical shape.
High-quality badger hair has a light and dark brown color, while lower-quality badger hair is gray and is commonly found in shaving brushes. Although badger hair is extremely firm, it is also very soft and has an elastic quality so it will never scratch up your face.
This Shu Uemura Natural Fan Brush ($45) is a popular brush used for powder and liquid face color. It's great for blending and dusting with accuracy. Keep in mind that because badger hair is so soft and bouncy, it must be kept clean at all times.

wow to the price..
1Love that brush style, but it is wicked expensive.
2It's expensive, but I bet it works wonders!
3I would like to know whether brushes like this are humanely produced. Is it like the fur trade? I wouldn't buy real fur, especially not from China,and I'm thinking that this could be just as bad. Anyone know?
4I wish i could afford those.
5Everyday Minerals has a cheaper fan brush.. I want it!
6I can never master all the brush types.
7confusing!
