Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
I don't think there is a big market for fake BE brushes so I would place my bet on it being real. They are not that expensive or popular so I doubt many con artists see a benefit in copying them.

I agree, chances are, it's real. And what I've noticed is that many people on ebay have bought the kits and sell the pieces individually.

Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
I agree with both posters above, chances are it's probably real.

Did you look into kabuki brushes from other brands? I purchased the BE kit from sephora, and I'm not too fond of this kabuki brush. too scratchy and my face feels irritated with it.

MAC 182 is the best for mineral makeup!! It's incredibly soft and dense and it doesn't shed...I couldn't live without it now that I have it

Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
I personally dislike the BE kabuki brush . . . I used it for a year before experiencing anything else, and now I don't think I'll ever touch it again. I currently use Everyday Minerals' premium kabuki or the Posh mini-kabuki (one of my favorite high-quality DS brands!). Try something else! It's cheaper and will feel better on your face.

Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
I agree that the BE brush isn't that great. I mean, it does it's job real well, but it feels scratchy. I tried using the Everyday Minerals premium kabuki because I wanted something softer but I didn't like the brush because it shed way too much and was so soft that it would take away from it's density. So... I had to go back to using the BE kabuki. I want to try the MAC one, but don't have the money for now

Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
its probably real - but like many others are saying, the hairs are prickly. i bought my brush off of a brush supply website. i cant remember what kind of hairs they are, but its a flat top and is meant for mineral foundation. its uuuuuuuuber soft and applies my foundation like a dream. the brush does matter when it comes to what type of coverage you want! a lot of people say MM doesn't have good coverage, but if you apply it with the right brush, it can give you heavy coverage! my brush does that. its med. to full coverage, so its great. i'm not sure if i'm supposed to post links here though? i bought mine on clearance for $10. its discontinued now, but they have several other brushes. i haven't tried the others though.

Re: How can I tell if this KABUKI BRUSH is fake or real??
check out this ebay seller
http://http://stores.ebay.ca/FOREVER-FEMALE

She has badger brush Kabukis as well as badger hair buffer brushes. Very good quality and not so expensive. I have her Kabuki and it's better and softer than the one from Everydayminerals.
