Other important factors – how small do you like your face brushes? When I received the SUQQU Cheek, I was taken aback by how small it is perfect for small features but some might find it laboursome so if you dislike small face brushes, you might fare better with the Z4 (which is still considered a small face brush by most standards!). As I said in the original review, the SUQQU cheek excels at pigmented/bright/strong products, as you can build colour slowly and never have to worry about blending it does all the work.īoth are perfect for powder, I tend to prefer more precise brushes for highlight and contour but they do work well for those products, too. If you have a soft spot for strong cheek colours and pigmented bronzers, the SUQQU cheek will change your makeup life. Are the vast majority of your products on the sheer spectrum? I reach for the Z4 when using Chanel Blushers, pale bronzers and such, you’ll get a better payoff with less effort and time. This is the real question, one I can actually help answer! Take a look at your blush/bronzer/cheek whatever stash. ‘Worth the money’ also fits into this category (I’m a poor judge of this anyway, I can justify almost anything) Which one would suit me best? Better is an arbitrary judgement based on the three P’s: Price Payoff, Purpose and the big one, Preference. What’s better for me may differ from your definition of better which differs to the next person. Let us erase the word ‘better’ from our makeup vocabulary. This is not a function of the fibres used (equally soft, in my opinion) but rather the density where the Z4 has greater resistance, the suqqu has far more give and flexibility so it reads a bit softer on my face. If I had to pick, I’d say the suqqu is a TEENY bit softer to touch.
Which is softer?īoth are in bunny-softness-league. By no means would I classify the Z4 as a dense face brush, it’s denser by comparison.īoth are comprised of grey squirrel and both are incredibly well made (wash well, hold their shape, no shedding – just flawless). Upon closer inspection, you can see that the Z4 ferrule is about double the diameter of the SUQQU Cheek – so double the number of hairs and definitely denser. If my SUQQU Cheek bristles look a bit more rounded than other photos floating about the internet, it’s because I dry it in a brush guard ( lifesaver, love brush guards). Additionally, the SUQQU Cheek has a perfectly round ferrule, whereas the Z4 is pinched resulting in an oval footprint.ĮDITED TO ADD: A super helpful commenter has brought to my attention that the SUQQU ferrule *is* slightly pinched, but the Z4 is definitely flatter.
You can see that the Chikuhodo Z4 is discernibly larger and has a flatter, larger surface area of contact, while the SUQQU Cheek is more pointed/tapered. They are similar so when pictured apart, you could be forgiven for thinking they may be perfect substitutes. I’ve structured this comparison based on frequently asked questions. After countless questions (and promises on my end, sorry!), let’s address the SUQQU Cheek versus the Chikuhodo Z4 Cheek/Highlight debate.
