I love this brush and have had it for almost over a year! The case that it came with was actually the deciding factor in my purchase. I was definitely a little peeved after its first wash though...

I have had this brush for several years, use it every day and it's still like new. Very seldom any shedding at all and it works great. A definite staple for me.

decent brush.. but not great, especially for the price! like many others, the hair pulled out of the base in a big clump. I had it for a year and rarely wear makeup so it's been used about 15...

For those of you who are considering this brush based on great reviews from someone else who already owns one, find out if that person bought their brush before Feb/March 2006. If you read back...

way too expensive, you could get a better one at target. didn't put any powder on that well, and it did fall apart. didn't like cat's cosmetics either.

The second time I washed it, the bristles completely came apart from the base of the brush. I use make-up brushes every day and have never had anything like this happen. I don't care how soft it...

I absolutely love this brush. I've had mine for at least a year, and I use it daily. It's sinfully soft and densely packed with bristles. It applies mineral make up with a smooth, even finish,...

This is my second Cat kabuki and sadly, my last. While the softness of the bristles can't be beat, the quality is extrememly poor. Both brushes immediately needed washing because I noticed a gray...

I absolutely agree with the description on the Cat Cosmetics website, this is the "rolls royce" of kabuki brushes. I have the Bare Escentuals kabuki brush but it's very rough compared to this...

When I asked the board which brush was best for applying mineral foundation, it was this one...hands down. Now I see why. It's the softest brush I've ever used, much like MAC's 138. I think it...

This brush is very soft BUT it also sheds a lot, is too small, and the black dye color washes off when you clean your brushes. I bought it on sale for $27, which isn't THAT bad, but it's still...
