THINGS TO RAVE ABOUT

• Cleans Easily: "I have to point out that my puppy got a hold of it twice before I even got to use it once. I washed it with (he only got it a little slobbery) with warm water and baby wash and it is as good as new." by skylao406
• Doesn't Disrupt Makeup: "It doesn't interfere with other makeup you may have underneath, say if your, for example, using this to apply powder over your liquid foundation and concealer, this kabuki will just gently distribute the powder over your skin without messing your foundation and concealer around." by BlondBarbieGirl
• Two-Toned Bristles: "This may sound weird, but I really like the two-toned bristles. The black ones at the tip tell you how much product is on the brush, so if you need to tap some off you know. The white ones are also good indicators of how dirty the bristles are, the more beige or "stained" they are, the dirtier it is!!" by ChaseSpearing
• Super Soft: "First of all, this is the softest brush I've ever owned. It feels like petting a fluffy baby bunny or something." by ColdFire
• Multi-Use: "This brush is perfect for applying powder, loose or pressed, and gives me a more fuller coverage because of the dense brush. Also good for buffing on mineral foundation, or blush/bronzer." by pinkfrost53

THINGS TO RANT ABOUT

• Flimsy Bristles: "The bristles are too long to properly distribute and blend product. I find they just sort of flop around on my face. If the bristles were just a bit shorter, this would be a perfect brush." by XJUL35 

IS IT FOR YOU?

YES: "If you want a very light, natural, and extremely sheer finish for your powder makeup." by honeyres
NO: "If your skin demands heavily concentrated concealing and coverage from your powder." by megellan
