Nice for the Price!

When my last kabuki brush died (I can't even remember where I got it from, it was that old) I was so sad as it picked up product with ease and applied it well. Thankfully at the time I managed to get a Kabuki brush as part of an Elizabeth Arden set from BR's fabulous vault. It was lovely and soft but for some reason the product just never made it on to my cheeks (I use Kabuki for blusher mainly). So I thought it was my new blusher being average. Then I tried it with my old blusher and it still didn't apply that well. Clearly it was the brush - the search continued. So after reading the reviews of the e.l.f Kabuki Face Brush on iherb I decided to splash out a few dollars ($6US) and give it a go. And I'm so glad I did because it's amazing. It picks up colour beautifully and applies it to the face easily. I love a rosy glow and this brush gives me one. It's also nice and soft! Great product - amazing price - what's not to love?

Great review - I ordered this last night and haven't used a kabuki brush before so I am super curious as to how this will perform :)

Potential

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.

In love with ELF!

I really love this brush. Really Really. To be honest I purchased it because I needed a new one and it was really reasonably priced $14 at Kmart! Upon getting it home it is ridiculously soft and nice to use. My flatmates have also gone out and got their own - especially after I got fairly protective due to makeup theives in the house!

I love that ELF products are PETA approved and animal friendly.

Tips: Short brush can be a little fumbly if you aren't used to it or have short fingers like me!

Short and sweet

I had been looking for a kabuki brush to try, but there are so many brands out there I was never quite sure if I was going to get a good one. I tried the Elf Kabuki of a friend, and I loved it. I mainly only use it for getting light coverage of my powder foundation over my liquid, but it really makes a difference. It's easy to use with the short handle, and the bristles are so nice and soft.

great brush

I got this brush off iherb, I wanted another kabuki for my mineral foundation and this one is super cheap so I thought why not! It is quite big, I have a real techniques one and it is a lot bigger then that. The hair is quite soft and it is reasonable dense so it buffs out the powder nicely. Since it is so large it also does a large area quickly. The only problem with that is that it doesn't quite fit into my powder container but I guess I could just transfer it into something else- for now it is fine and I can't really be bothered doing that! I'm sure there are a tonne of amazing kabukis out there but for a beginner like me, I think this is a great buy.

Tips: because it is quite large, I think it's best suited to mineral foundations or finishing powders. I don't think it would be very good for precise blending like bronzer or blush.

I'm obsessed with iherb lol. They do two shipping options, the $4 option takes a few weeks to arrive and the $8 option is less then a week. They sell heaps of elf products plus a lot of other stuff too :) ZCB106 will give you a discount too :)

Amazing brush.

ELF recently had a sale where you got 50% off their new and best sellers so I managed to pick this up for only $3.50 US.

I'd never used a kabuki brush before and wasn't too sure what I would use it for but I'm super glad I got it.

The brush looks really pretty and it reminds me of a panda :p the bristles are tightly packed and best of all it's cruelty free and 100% synthetic. It feels amazingly soft and I haven't had any bristles fall out - even after washing it.

The brush picks product up really evenly - just remember to tap the brush before applying product to your face to reduce fallout. I've been using this mostly to apply my Finishing powder all over my face, but I also used it when I applied my bronzer.

It blended the product onto my face evenly and easily. It didn't leave behind any streaks, it felt super soft on my skin and it's sooo easy to use. I really like this for my finishing powder as, if you use a stippling motion, you can really get the powder to settle into your skin - rather than just sitting on top of it, which I feel looks more natural and reduces cakiness.

Overall I think it's a pretty brush, it's easy to clean and very soft and durable. The next time I do an elf order I will be purchasing this again as I would love to have a backup. For $6 it's an absolute bargain - especially when comparing it to other kabuki brushes. I highly recommend it.

Amazing

And yet another major HIT for Elf, I am constantly being blown away by the quality of their products. This brush set me back less than $4 NZD during their big 50% off sale and I'm so glad I got it and slightly annoyed I didn't grab a couple more. The bristles are super soft yet dense, the handle is big enough to grip properly yet small enough to carry around in your handbag. I love using this with my powder to set my foundation, I find that this brush doesn't move my foundation around while setting it unlike some other brushes I've used before. I think this brush is worth so much more than the current price tag but I'm certainly not complaining at the affordability. I haven't had any problems with shedding or bleeding either which is a big plus!

My holy grail powder brush!

I am a big powder user as I like the matte look, and I have now found my holy grail brush to apply it with! This brush is so very soft with a wide bristle area so it's great for getting coverage all over the face. The finish is good and because of the lack of a long handle, it fits easily in small purses and makeup bags. I like it so much I've bought two!

Great quality at an affordable price

After reading great reviews on the e.l.f kabuki brush I decided to give this a go! I'm super happy with my purchase and love how soft it is. I use this brush to blend over my bronzer and blush if I have applied slightly too much, this smooths everything out and makes my makeup look flawless. Love to pat this over my face gently once I have aplied setting spray as well. Definitely reccomend this product !

Great Kabuki

This is a great little kabuki brush, it is perfect for applying finishing powder to your face. I use this everyday and find that there is little to no shedding, it washes well and does an all around amazing job.

It is very soft and feels great against the skin, it holds product well and is a steal for the price.
