Types of Kabuki Brushes and how to Use Them

Kabuki brushes are ideal for any makeup routine. A traditional kabuki brush is large with a big rounded head and is very useful for buffing powder or foundation into the skin for smooth and perfect coverage. There are many types of kabuki brushes for various makeup results but overall, each gives a soft, air-brushed and poreless looking skin.

Here are a few tips to use some of the types of these brushes for the right makeup. You can buy them from any brick and mortar store or order a kabuki brush online.

Flat Kabuki brush – This type of brush line up easily with the surface and ensures an even distribution of foundation or moisturizer over the skin. Flat brushes are also very useful for applying mineral powders over foundation for quick setting.

Rounded Kabuki brush – This kabuki brush has a slightly rounded shape and is right for buffing in pigmented powders such as bronzers, blushes, and highlighters into the surface of the skin. It gives the cheeks a pearly glow. When applying the blush, the brush should be moved in circular motions.
Angled kabuki brush – An angled kabuki brush is ideal for creating angles with natural shadows on the skin and is widely used for contouring the face. This brush helps to shade in the shadows on the face like hollows of the cheeks, above the eyebrows and jaw line and the sides of the nose.

A good quality kabuki brush will be soft and dense without any bristles falling out. Buy a heavy brush as they have an ergonomically better distribution of weight when being used.
