Frequently Asked Questions
How does the W0598 differ from the larger W0664 goat blender?
The W0598 is a smaller round densely stuffed brush, built for precision blending in the crease and under-eye zones. The W0664 is a large-diameter fluffy barrel for broad powder and highlighter distribution across the face.
What does "premium goat hair" mean in CTR's grading?
CTR classifies goat hair across 8 softness levels. Premium goat sits at the top tier, sourced for its softness, fibre integrity, and pigment-gripping scale structure. Standard goat hair used in cheaper brushes is noticeably firmer and less elastic.
Can I use it for cream products?
It is optimised for dry textures. Natural goat hair absorbs oil-based products, which wastes product and shortens brush life. For cream shadows, use synthetic brushes such as the W0637 or W0645.
Is the round bundle better than a tapered shape for crease work?
The round bundle distributes pressure evenly for seamless diffusion, which is what you want for soft transitions. A tapered tip is better for precise placement, but harder to blend with evenly.
