    This brush is fantastic for applying powders. I use it to quickly pick up my loose powder, apply all over face and blend out any areas. It's density and supple-ness are perfect. Picks up powder...

    I bought this brush after not wanting to deal with the insane shedding of my BB kabuki, it was out of control. :( I'd read good things about the 182, so I plunked down $45 for it at Nordstrom. I...

    #182 and #187 are my holy grail brushes. I use them daily. I love the effect #182 gives when I apply MSFN, but MSF natural breaks me out. Now I use #182 with MAC lightful powder, and it works...

    The MAC 182 brush is a small buffer/kabuki brush. It a little pricey coming in at CAN$ 50 but I think the high quality of this brush is worth the money - i considered it an investment. Its the...

    This brush is a very dense, medium-sized kabuki brush. It is smaller than the Posh kabuki brush, and more firm than the Too Faced one. I find it to be superior to both. It does a better job of...

    I had high hopes for this brush, as it felt soft on my hands and looked very full and cute. However, it feels a little bit scratchy on my face and it's been shedding a few strands of hair every...

    This has got to be the creme de la creme of kabuki brushes. It's beautifully soft, thick and buffs my mineral foundation in like a dream. unlike other MUAers before me, I haven't had any problems...

    Thankfully, I didn't have any shedding problems with my brush. My take on this particular brush is that it truly is the King of Kabuki. Dense but super-soft, it picks up a good amount of color...
