Re: The best kabuki brush in your opinion???
MAC 182 is the best. I have BE kabuki and I hated it. Shed soo much and wasn't nearly as soft as the 182.

Bare Essentuals Kabuki Brush. It spreads powder and powder foundations very well.

Personally, I think no. The 187 was designed for a stippling motion, not a swirling buffing motion, and it would not be dense enough for foundation powder. A kabuki would work much better.
The 182 is my fav as well.

Bare Escentuals kabuki felt scratchy on my face. By the time I put on foundation and mineral veil several days in a row my skin felt slightly raw.
I recently switched over to Alima foundation and bought an Alima #25 brush. It is ooh so very soft...the softest I've ever felt. I just wish the bristle end was fatter and I wish the handle was smaller. That is, I wish they'd make that brush in kabuki form.
While waiting for my #25 to arrive, I bought an Essence of Beauty kabuki for $10 at CVS. It is bigger, more dense and a LOT softer than my Bare Escentuals brush. This is, by far, the best kabuki for the price.
Now, I use the Alima #25 for foundation and the EoB kabuki for mineral veil.

Well, the best mineral foundation brush I have is the Alima one. It's really soft, even though it takes like THREE DAYS to dry after you wash it. Still, worth it because it's such a nice soft brush.
As for ones that are in the kabuki shape, I like Tarte's "glam on the go" brush. It even has a little carrying case.
