What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
Is it used to apply compact foundations? If yes, how does the effect differ from using a sponge? Also, how does a kabuki brush measure up againest a powder brush?
Thanx!!

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
I like Kabukis way better than a regular powder brush...I have a few different size kabukis. I mainly use mine for loose powder, but I use it for bronzers too...I also use one of mine to sort of buff the face once I'm finished with the overall application, sometimes I'll even spritz it when I do this-depending on the effect I'm going for.

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
I had a big kabuki and a big powder brush. It is different shaped brush to work with. I found it to be a bit of a hassle to have an extra face brush because I didn't see that it was really that different from a regular large face brush. I swapped mine away, and the woman who has is now is really happy with it.

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
I have mineral foundation and use a kabuki to apply (a must). It is more for powders.

If you use a kabuki brush with mineral makeup, It's supposed to give you a fresh polished look.

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
I think so. I would never use a regular powder brush again after a kabuki IMHO

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
I have placed an order for MAC 219. If it doesn't work out for my compact powders, I could at least use it for my blushers. Then I might buy a kabuki brush. Any recommandations? I'm thinking 'bout the Bobbo Brown one but I heard that it sheds a lot for some people. But mainly, I'm interested coz its price seem resonable for a brush wif so many hairs(USD29.50)

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
Kabuki Brushes are shorthandled brushes used to apply powder, bronzer or blush. Very densely packed kabuki's, like Chanels, give more coverage and give a makeup look. Fluffier kabuki's like Benefit's are best for a softer look. They are also handy for small purses because they take up less space. They usually come in some sort of little bag to protect them. I LOVE my Benefit Bluff Puff (their name for their kabuki) it is super soft, and has never shedded one hair!!!!!! I use it on myself and others all day. It retails for $20usd. Good lUck on your Kabuki Search!!

Re: What's a KABUKI Brush used for?
Hi there! This is my first ever post
I recently brought an A'squirrel kabuki brush set (one with goat hair, and the other with squirrel) I use the goat hair kabuki to apply my powder foundations (Stila IPF, and Cliniques stay matte) and I use the Squirrel Kabuki to apply my blushes ( Nars and Stila)
The Kabukis are sooooo soft!
