Botan Brush

I bought it at an incredible price. I read the Non Blonde's review of it while it was winging its way to me. I washed it, blotted and caressed it. I dried it on a window sill with a rubber band compressed around the middle. Obsessive? Maybe. It does lose dye in the wash, it does lose a lot of hairs during the first few uses. It isn't as soft as some others, but this morning when I went …Read more

It's scratchy. BUT it's so efficient. Although I have way more brushes than I need, I find myself incorporating Botan into my daily routine. Paired with the nars translucent powder, it sets my makeup perfectly. even better, is that it polishes my look. whenever i am too heavy handed with my bronzer,contour or blush, i just buff away with my botan and my makeup looks flawless.

Update #2- I was determined to figure this brush out, and I think I have. I'm still only giving it a 4 overall because it IS rough, it DOES shed, it DOES bleed dye when washed, and yeah, it's pricey. At first I felt like I was just buffing off my makeup when I used it to apply Meteroites. I have since found a way to use it that works for me. I apply my primer, let dry, pat on …Read more

This is the most expensive brush I own but it's wonderful! I figured if I didn't like it I would exchange it for something else but after using it I'm hooked. I use it to buff out my makeup, I always felt like my studio fix powder was a little too much packed out even though I would lightly apply it. My face looked so flawless that my skin looked brand new to me. Definitely an …Read more

This is an investment piece. Even so, this Kabuki brush is very versatile. Use it to apply mineral foundations, powdered bronzers, and finishing powders. The unique shape of this brush is also perfect for blending powdered blush. This brush fits snugly in one’s hand and is crafted to help create a flawless finish. I love it!

This is by far one of the only items in my very large make up collection I reach for every single day. It is most definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Yes, it is very expensive (75 dollars I believe). But, with proper care it will last you for years and years. It is also a beautiful brush.

I use the Botan brush in two ways. The first is that I alternate …Read more

I LOVES IT. Totally didn't want to give it a 5-star review because it is so pricey, but it makes my life so much easier.

The first wash, it shed a million (okay, realistically speaking, probably more like 70) little hairs, and bled a lot. I had to shampoo it about five times for it to stop bleeding. Takes about 24 hours to dry, if you dry it upside down. Check my profile for a …Read more

Purchased this brush of eBay and got quite a good price! Although I would buy again I dont think I would pay full money! My brush really shed loads until i washed it which it then became softer and didn't shed as much! I also found that u have to really blend lightly with this as it does rub of all the make up u have just put on. Think I love this brush more just becos more of the the name …Read more
