Hi MissG. Sorry, just got your post. I used the kabuki for most of the minerals I tried. When I started using Monave, the flat top was recommended. I have since moved on to Lumiere and continue using the flat top.
With the flat top, I swirl and tap off excess just like the kabuki. However, when I apply the minerals (either wet or dry but usually dry), I just sweep it onto my skin. I got that recommendation from Periwinkle sky. For whatever reason, just sweeping it on, my skin looks better. It doesn't look as cakey and looks more natural on me.
That's not to say the kabuki isn't a good brush to use. I just prefer the flat top. I feel as though I have more control of the coverage. I am less likely to overdue on the minerals when I use the flat top.
As for how much, I sometimes use 1 layer other times 2 layers. It depends on what my skin looks like that day. Lately, it's been pretty good (no breakouts) so I use 1 layer. I do not buff at all.
The coverage is medium (I would say) but looks natural. I don't think you will go wrong with using either the flat top or the kabuki. It's all a matter of preference.
Good luck. I hope I answered your questions. Let me know if you want further information.
