Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

So I got suckered into purchasing a Kabuki brush from the Bobbi Brown counter and I have NO IDEA what to do with it. What's it for? I went there asking for a brush to apply pressed powder with. Someone told me it gives a lighter, more natural look when you use a brush instead of a sponge...

Anyway, do I use the Kabuki brush for that??

For those of you who can't place the name of the brush with the actual image, here's a pic...

THANKS!!

you use it for loose powder and /or bronzer. Some people use loose powder instead of foundation in the summer. It is an awesome tool to have!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Is it totally round, or is it flat on the sides?

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I have one for applying loose powder

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I put my powder bronzer on with one!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I have a similar brush to that. I used to for my (pressed) bronzer! I find it gives a more natural look!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I use it to apply bronzer

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I think it should be fine for pressed powder. It will distribute the powder nicely to your face.

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Ahhh - that's the Kabuki brush that bare escentuals gives you. I use mine for the mineral veil, which is sort of the all over powder. It gives a nice finishing look. I LOOOOOVE mine.

How do u like it so far??

Ok, but i don't use loose powder..lol

So I can't use it for a pressed powder compact??

I need a lesson on make-up brushes!!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

GREAT! i'll have to try it tomorrow!!

It came in this cute little carry bag too!

I am a make-up artists wet dream (not to be gross) but thsoe people can talk me into buying ANYTHING!!!!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I'd mostly use it for loose powder, but you can use it for whatever you want!

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Interesting! I might get one, b/c I'm not thrilled with the sponge-y thing in the BB pressed powder compact.

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I use my Kabuki for Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I have the bare minerals one , almost identical and love it.

Its great for loose powder, all over face color or bronzer. Just remember its not really like a "regular" brush. You shuld be like swirling ( for lack of a better word) the powders on. And the brush is made for the powder to get INSIDE it so to speak and not on the tips of the brush, so always tap off any extra or you wont get the desired effect the brush should give.

yes , I know wayyy too much about this

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

i use a regular blush brush for loose/pressed powder...hmmm, are those things expensive?

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

I love my Kabuki brush! Such a great tool. I use it for powder foundation or just powder.

Re: Make-up fanatics--- COME IN PLEASE

Did you try it?

I was thinking about getting one. I use the Bare Minerals make-up and they sell one that's supposed to be "full coverage." They look pretty cool
