On the hunt for a new Kabuki brush since it seems my usual supplier has disappeared.
This is SUPER soft and the packaging says it's made from Taklon (YAY!). It's $14 from Kmart so not a bad purchase if the product didn't meet my expectations.
I like a full coverage and use kabuki brushes because that is what they help to provide so I expect it takes a while for the brush to start performing to its best once I've washed it from new.
It has shed a little and so far has been providing light coverage and I've had to use my other kabuki to go over to buff my foundation to the coverage I like.
The ferule (handle) is shorter than I'm used to so if you suffer from arthritis in the hands, you'll probably want something with a longer handle.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to tell just how good it is until I've used it for a couple of months but so far I'm quite happy with it, I just wanted to put something up for people looking at purchasing this so they don't have any unrealistic expectations that it will perform straight out of the packet and I can come back in a couple of months to recap.
Edit - 30 April 2014 I've used this for just over a month now and I've decided that it just isn't doing it for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful brush and beautifully soft but the bristles are too loose and to get any sort of decent coverage from my mineral foundation, they need to be more tightly packed.
I would suggest this is probably better for bronzers, illuminators or for those that are blessed with only needing light coverage mineral foundation rather than full.
This brush is excellent value for money - although there are certainly better brushes out there this offers great bang for your buck! A good all round brush to have - I use mine everyday and have owned it for a few months now. Easy to clean and I haven’t noticed any bristles falling out.
Tips: Wash regularly
