I wanted to like this brush. The bristles are nice and tightly packed and it is cheap, but that's where it ends. It's harsh and scratchy and gets worse with every wash. It sheds a fair amount...

I really like using this kabuki - I use it on a daily basis to apply my mineral foundation (Monave or Silk Naturals). The bristles are dense and incredibly soft on my skin, and I could sit and buff...

I bought this before reading up on it. And yes, it does suck. Very scratchy. The other brushes from Essences of Beauty are very good though.

I think next time I will be trying a brush like Too Faced's Kabuki, but for now I'm perfectly happy with this one. I use it with L'Oreal Bare Natural MMU and occasionally with my loose powders if I...

It was good when it was new but after washing it few times it got so scratchy. Will not be buying it again.

What a disappointment. I think this brush is rated highly mostly because it is a relatively good quality brush at a reasonable price. But for me, it is far too large and tapered to apply MMU very...

I waited until after I washed it to see if it really sheds but I have to say its held up very well. even though its a little bulky for a brush, you will always get even coverage because of the...

Not my favorite brush..... it's larger than the BE one, but it's shaped differently. The bristles taper more drastically at the end, and they sort of curve in more. The bristles aren't very soft,...

I'm not sure if I would buy this again or not. It is very soft and luxurious and feels very high-end. Mine was new and rec'vd in swap but I hear they are very inexpensive. With that said...I feel...

OMG, does this brush shed! I bought it because I love the other EoB brushes I have (little to no shedding with those), and because it was so full and soft. I was really surprised at how much it...

I just got this at the CVS sale for EoB items and I like it! I had been using the BE Flawless Face brush or whatever it's called and I just realized a month ago that my face was a little...

I think I had a dud.... my kabuki sheds! Even so- I love it- it is soft and dense and exactly what I was looking for. The only kabuki I have is the BE one which is horribly coarse compared to this...

Excellent, dense and soft brush. I have the BE Kabuki and much prefer this one. Great for the price. Would highly recommend this brush no matter your beauty budget.

Love this brush, it is so soft and doesn't shed. I've washed it several times and there was no change or smell. At first I was apprehensive at how large it was but I'm finding that it makes...

This was a little poky/stiff. I returned it. The Essence of Beauty Foundation Brush is super soft and a better bet for applying powders IMO (I mean for loose powders, it's the wrong shape for...
