Tips on buying a kabuki brush

Make sure that the Kabuki Brush you are buying are made of soft, and if possible, natural fibers.  Kabuki brushes made of soft animal hair such as goat hair are regarded as of the highest quality. While you can get one made of synthetic fibers such as taklon, be sure that it is soft enough to not harm your skin or create a rough, unpleasant feeling when used.  Ensure also that the brush has enough bristles and no open spots as this would cause your makeup to be applied unevenly.

Now, after you buy your brand-new brush, the next best thing is to use it!  Here is one way to get the prefect look using the Kabuki Brush:

1. Put a small amount of your favorite foundation or makeup on a cosmetic mixing bowl or the lid your makeup or foundation’s jar.  Be sure that it is wide enough for your kabuki brush head to fit into.
2. Apply the makeup to your kabuki brush until the brush tip is completely coated.  Remove excess by tapping your brush tip but ensure complete coverage for an even application.
3. If desired, lightly dampen the brush tip with clean, plain water before coating it with your makeup.  A damp brush will let you cover more area without having to use more makeup.
4. With gentle circular motions, use the brush to apply the makeup to your cheeks, forehead and nose area.  Let the shade of the makeup blend with your skin tone while you go, until you get the exact beautiful look you want.
5. You can also dampen the brush again lightly with clean water should it get dry for easier and more even application.
