Powder Brush

Updated Sonia Kashuk Powder brushes from the core collection are coming in three different sizes and cost 21-22$. The large brush is huge. It has large and very head and large and very light handle. It feels very imbalanced. Bristles aren't really soft and it definitely doesn't deserve its price tag. The medium brush is okay, it feels more balanced, but it doesn't deserve its price tag because even ELF brushes feel softer and better made. The tapered powder brush is best for a blush, but once again the head is too heavy compared to the handle and bristles are far cry from Real Techniques Blush brush. Very overpriced and uncomfortable to use.

I bought this brush a few years ago and used it religiously, then I accidentally left it at my mom's, along with some other things. She mailed my other stuff back to me but not this brush, even though I specifically mentioned it. She doesn't even wear makeup?!! Why did she keep it?! Maybe one of my sisters found it at her house and stole it, that is the likely story. See how much I care about a makeup brush?! That's because it's a damn great brush. Super soft, never shed on me, and most importantly, large enough to give you a perfect powder job. I don't know why, but I've found it hard to find a truly big, fluffy face brush. Held up through multiple washes. I replaced it with a Nars powder brush, and even though it was way more expensive, it just isn't the same. Scratchy, sheds, and not quite large enough. (I got the Nars off Amazon, maybe it was a knockoff?). Anyway, I was impressed with this one Sonia Kashuk makeup brush I had, and I think I'm gonna get myself one of her brush sets for Christmas. Great quality, especially for the price.

I was lucky enough to have a dear friend ship this to me from the US, together with another Sonia Kashuk brush set. I was surprised to read that many have experienced phenomenal shedding with this brush as mine hasn't at all. I've had this since 2008, and the brush is a good 7 years old now but it still looks as good as new. I really like pairing this brush with loose powder as the size of the brush allows me to dust the powder all over quickly and evenly. It's a wonderful and affordable drugstore brush that is rather soft (of course, I cannot compare this to Hakuhodo / Suqqu brushes) and does the job really well.

This is for the white painted wooden handled one which I purchased many years ago when Sonia Kashuk first came to Target. I don't think they make these anymore but i just had to attest to its longevity. It was my first real make up brush, so not surprisingly- at the time, it was the most expensive brush I'd ever purchased and it was squirrel hair. I paid around $10. I have fancier brushes now. Yet, I have used this brush almost daily with regular washings and it is still my most used brush. I've had 2 issues-it went through a shedding phase a couple of years back to the point that I'd have to pick hairs off my face and I thought it was a goner. Eventually, it stopped shedding and is still very fluffy so I'm glad I stuck with it. I've had to superglue the wooden handle to the ferrule once or twice and the white paint has peeled some but considering how long I've had it and how much I've washed it, that's pretty amazing. The white ones I've seen in the last few years seem different and the handle appears to be plastic so when I do have to replace this, I will get the black handled one and hope it lives up to this.

Ive had this brush for 2 years now and it sheds like crazy kinda disappointed i expected better.

I love this brush. I actually use it as my powder brush, to just apply powder to my t-zone. I bought it several years ago, when SK first came to Target. I have bought other brushes in the interim, thinking I might be on to something better, but none of them prevail. This brush is soft, and splayed nicely so that product doesn't land on your face super-concentrated. That is my biggest complaint with other brushes. When this brush finally does die, I will get another.

I really love the handles to the Sonia brushes and all my eye shadow brushes work like a dream, but this powder brush is the worst! Everytime I use it - it sheds. It is very scratchy and I am constantly having to pick hairs off my face. :(

The bristles fall out every single time I use it and the brush wore out very quickly.

This is for the white handle brush - I've never had a brush that sheds so much in my life. It's not like every once in a while i end up with hairs on my face.. it's every time i use it. It gets really annoying to have to constantly pick the shedding hairs off my face all the time. Other than that though, the brush is nice and soft and gives me a nice dusting of my power over my foundations.

oh mah gawd this brush shed like THIRTY bristles over my face this morning-WTH? i bought this SK brush because of rave youtube reviews-seriously?! i have no issues spending more money on a quality brush but for $20.00 i expected better than this. it got all in my eyes too and onto my contacts. i am so disappointed. the size of the brush is fine but its just nasty that all the bristles are all over my face afterwards. i had to use my bare minerals powder brush to brush it all off. i am SO returning this to target today!!
