This is a really good quality brush, just like any other EM brushes I own. I use it to apply base colour on my lids, which is usually the EM multi-tasking concealer, and this does the job perfectly and like no other I have tried for this purpose.

This is one of my two must have brushes! (The other is my Sephora mineral No.45).

I use it to apply my favorite cream concealer- SK Hidden Agenda. It applies the color perfectly evenly and feathers is out beautifully.

For only $7 and cruelty free, this is a must have brush.

I love this brush! I use it to apply under-eye concealer and it works great! I'm thinking about getting a back-up just in case!

Love this brush! Not for eyeshadows, but for applying concealer/BM well rested/color correctors and so on. High quality.

This brush is perfect for applying eyeshadow primer. The size is perfect, the bristles are very soft and perfect for eyelids (even my sensitive lids feel soothed) and the synthetic bristles don't eat away at the product. It applies cream and liquid products smoothly and evenly leaving a perfect canvas for eyeshadow application. I have tried it with Nars Eyeshadow Base, Too Faced Shadow Insurance, NYX Jumbo pencils, Graftobian HD Glamour Cream. This is the main reason I wanted to buy this brush so I haven't used it on any powder shadows. It is also excellent for concealers and spot applying foundation. Easily one of my favorite brushes.

I really, really love this brush. Before I purchased it, I saw a lot of reviews that said it was "too big" for the eye area, but that it was good for applying concealer. At this point I had already purchased the 'Flat Top Brush' (which I ADORE), and recieved the 'Eye Kabuki Jr' in set with three eye shadows. So I figured, EM seems to have good quality brushes and I have big eye lids, so I thought that the eye kabuki brush would be good for me. And even if it didn't work for eye shadows (like everyone else had said), I figured I'd give it a go for concealer application.

I recieved the brush last week, and I can honestly say that I LOVE it. I have been using it for BOTH eye shadows and concealer. I am so glad that I bought it. It is PERFECT for blending eye shadows onto the eye (to get rid of any harsh lines), and it gives a really good "air brushed" look when I apply concealer.

Thumbs up all the way!

I love this eye buki. I use it to apply BE Well Rested practically all around the eye area. The bristles are so soft, yet they let the powder cling well and give good coverage. I would buy another as a spare the next time I order from EDM. I also have a BE eye buki, but I think the EDM version has much softer bristles.

I love this brush! I dont use it for blending out my eyeshadows though. I use it blending out undereye concealer and the occasional concealer over a huge pimple. Have washed it many times before and I have never experienced shedding so this is a great brush for it's price! You have to try to get the 40% off with purchase of 5 or more products from EDM to make it even more worth it!

I love this brush. I'm obsessed with all EDM brushes, but this one is very very versitile. Someday's I use it as a concealer brush, others I use it to apply all over the lid eyeshadow, other days I use it to buff out eye shadows.
I am actually just about to purchase another couple of these.

I got this brush in a swap some time ago, I don't use it to apply my e/s, but I use it to blend out once it is all on. Really great quality brush! My only beef might be that it takes awhile to dry once I wash it, but other than that it is lovely.

I got this brush as part of a kit almost two years ago...super soft...handle is nice & sturdy...no shedding...it's not that great for blending eye shadows (that's what the jr. kabuki is built for!) but it's great for applying shadow from the lid to the brow. it's also good for brushing off any shadow fall out as well as blending concealer...great brush - I would definitely repurchase...

This brush is perfect for applying MMU concealer. It's dense, comfortable in my hand, and has lasted for several years of near-daily use. Very happy with this purchase.

I love this brush and especially because it is vegan! One of those brushes you wonder how you survived without prior. (for me at least) I love that it is so dense and is slightly domed. It has enough flat surface to pack on product and domed for blending. Funny thing is, I can't use this for eyeshadow application as my eyes are too small for this brush to apply eyeshadow. For others who have that similar problem, here's what I find it works great for!


-Further blending of smokey eye looks to have everything blend in REALLY well.
- Undereye application of loose powder. I find I need extra under my eyes as I'm an 'oily' and a major undereye smudger.
- Nose contouring
-Concealer application
-That little dab of highlight on the high part of your cheek bone and brow bone.

This brush works really well as a multi-tasking brush of sorts.

I only used it as an all-over eyeshadow brush once, but it worked well for a sheer application of color if you're in a rush. If the color's light enough you can apply it up to your brow bone, and then use a contour color with a different brush.

That said, I use this brush as a concealer brush with my Everyday Minerals Intensive Medium concealer or with my foundation. I really tap a bunch of powder into the tip, then dab that on really well on my acne scars. I hardly ever need to blend it out. It delivers a great amount of powder since it is so dense.

I don't use concealer under my eye so I haven't used it for that, but others have said it works well.

If you really want to contour your nose, I think you can use it for that too.

Oh, one good one is if you have a pretty sheer highlighter than you can (my Everyday Minerals pearl beige) use this to apply it just above your cheekbones than blend out. It's hard for me to get that highlight color to show up unless I use this brush.

I added this to an order based on reviews. Turns out I should have added two. The reviews are right, this is a versatile brush, and you will find a use or three for it. Very soft, just like the regular kabuki. Love the bamboo handle.

Yes, it's way too big to apply shadow, unless you are someone who just sweeps across your whole eye and calls it done. It is nice for blending though! Also good for adding a bit of highlighter across your cheekbones, applying mineral concealer, or as I like to do, applying a bit more mineral foundation over a spot of liquid concealer.

Do you ever grab a regular sized brush (like the regular kabuki or a blush brush) and use just the edge of it? Then you need this brush.

Update: I still love this brush, about to order another. Turns out lately I actually am using it for eye shadow. I like it for sparkly things like stila starlight and kitten. I can just do a quick stab at my lids with this when I'm needing to get out the door, and poof I'm done. Not for precision, but it does apply washes beautifully without fallout.

Great brush. I bought a 2nd a few months after purchasing my 1st. I use it mostly for concealer under my eyes and around my nose. In addition to all the advantages mentioned by others, it is a good LENGTH. I hate the very long make up brushes because they don't fit nicely into a bag for travel and sometimes hit against the mirror if you are applying something really precisely and need to work very close to the mirror. This brush is about 6 inches in length, which is long enough to hold and manipulate comfortably but not so long as to bump the mirror. It fits nicely into a ziplock sandwich bag....which I use for my MU when traveling.

This brush is too big for applying eyeshadow, but it is fabulous for applying color all over the lid, under eye concealer and highlighter. No shedding, easy to handle and great coverage. Also love the tiny version available on their site for concealer and buffing color in crease.
