I got this brush in the BE starter kit but was afraid to use it because it felt too dense and hard when I ran my hand over it. I finally gave in and tried it and was very pleasantly surprised! It...

I only use Bare Escentuals brushes for applying mineral makeup. They are the highest quality I've tried. This one's perfect for applying foundation.

I got this brush in a BE starter set and used it for about a year. It started out kind of soft, but got worse with time. Eventually, it felt like I was trying to buff in m/u with a bundle of straw....

Lovely Kabuki brush. I prefer the long handle because now I can control how to use it. I can either hold the brush directly and apply, or hold it at the end of the handle for a looser/softer...

This is tiny, rough ,and completely ineffective, exactly the opposite of what a good Kabuki Brush should be! This felt scratchy on my face and I found that it did not do well with applying bare...

My favorite foundation brush by far. A large handle keeps your fingers away from the product and thick bristle base holds a lot of foundation, but doesn't store it up inside forever. It's a great...

Definitely one of my favorite brushes! Although it's a bit scratchy, i think it does the job better than the other MMU brushes (Everyday Minerals Long-Handled Kabuki, the BE flawless face &...

I love this brush! This is my favorite of all BE's brushes. This is the only BE brush that is soft enough and even worth trying! The kabuki and flawless face really scratches my face, and I don't...

Love this brush! I use this to apply my BE foundation, it gives more coverage than the baby buki or full coverage kabuki.

At first I thought this was a great brush. But the more I used it the more I realized this is not a brush I can use. It is very rough and pricks my skin. I was noticing a lot of skin irritation...

Generally this brush is pretty good. It applies evenly and unlike others I don't find it scratchy on my skin. I like that it has a handle, which means I don't press into my skin as much as I...

I purchased this brush new on eBay after a friend who is BE-crazy recommended it, and like most of BE's face brushes, it's pretty disappointing. I don't know why BE's face brushes are SO STIFF! ...

I like this brush MUCH better than the flawless application brush that also came with my starter kit. I use it to apply foundation and mineral veil. It's much softer and applies the makeup nicely...

I don't know what is up with these brushes but they are sucking. The only bare minerals brush that works very well is the full size kabuki. This brush that I am reviewing would be wonderful except...

I do like this brush a bit better than the Flawless Face brush for coverage. It provides light-to-medium (buildable) coverage. While, the Flawless Face Brush only provides sheer-to-light coverage...
