Re: Kabuki
The Too Faced Kabuki is too soft to stand up to the 182. I bought it for looks because there's no way it would apply powder like my 182. The bristles damn near collapse on your face.

Re: Kabuki
I've tried a few but the 182 really works the best for me.

I always see the 180s whenever they go to the freestanding store but I don't know if they're discontinued.

Re: Kabuki
i just got all 3 of the kabuki brushes from coastalscents.com

they are VERY SOFT but still stiff enough to buff out your face and they cost like 5-10 bucks each. my fav one out of the 3 is the italian badger. its huge and works like a charm with no shedding!

Re: Best kabuki brush - recommendations
Hey gals, I'm deciding between the MAC 182 and the Lumiere Kabuki. MAC is obviously much more expensive, double the price, but I've heard so many rave reviews for the Lumiere one.

Which one do you think I should get?

I want to buy a kabuki as well but now I am confused between the 182 and 183. Which one is better for buffing?

Re: Best kabuki brush - recommendations
The Italian Buffer Brush Large from coastalscents.com is really good for people wanting a cheaper option than the MAC 182. I have it as well and I have used it quite a bit, the 182 is still the best imo, but the coastal scents one is very usable as well, and it's only like $11 or something.

In my opinion, definitely the 182. I have both, but the 182 is the one I grab non stop for buffing it seems to be the most popular of the two all around as well.

Re: Best kabuki brush - recommendations
I used mini kabuki brush from everyday minerals today..so soft and application is great. It only costs like 5 dollars!
Apart from this one, I also swear by mac's #182, it's great.

Re: Best kabuki brush - recommendations
My favourite brush for mineral makeup application is EDM Long handled kabuki brush. I just adore it! It is supersuper soft. It stays in shape while applying, so you can really buff foundation into your skin. So it's dence enough, but still feels silky in your skin. Also the price is perfect. This quality for such a low price, I can't believe it! And not even one hair had shed from my EDM kabukis and that is almost a miracle too. I can't say enough good thing about these brushes, but... Definitely worth trying for! (:

June, you asked about NARS kabukis. I have two of them: Kabuki artisan botan brush and Yachiyo kabuki brush. The last one is not a classic kabuki, it has a very lond handle. All in all NARS brushes are OK, but I expect more from that expensive makeup brushes. I do not see that the price is in right balance with the quality you get. So I can't recommend NARS kabukis. You can get better ones for less money.

MAC's 182 is also a quite good brush. It is also supersoft and easy to use. But it isn't my favourite one, it isn't as perfect as my favourite kabuki. It may be, if the price would be more reasonable. MAC 182 has also another minus: if you have small face, it is probably too large for some things (for example applying blush/face pigments to your face etc.) So in my opinion it isn't as versatile as EDM's version. But still I love 182 brush too.

Re: Best kabuki brush - recommendations
I got the Flat Top brush from Everyday Minerals. It should come in next week. It was recommended on Youtube. I'll let you all know how it is.
