The MAC kabuki blows them all away. Just have to pimp this new brush because it really IS AMAZING. It's tied with the 187 for my fave brush EVER.

I couldn't agree more. I picked this brush up and I don't regret it at all its very useful and I've used it every day since I bought it. I'm debating picking up another before the LE stuff runs out. Its just that good IMO, soft, wonderful for blending and applying powder not to mention an unusual addition to my brush collection. I think the quality of this brush is just outstanding. I wish they would make it a permanent part of the collection.

I'm soo glad I ended up getting this one

I have the BE Kabuki, and the MAC's is SO much softer and doesn't scratch me like the BE does.

Yes! I got the last one at Robson today!! My fave MA she saw me looking at it and she started gushing about it. And so since I absolutely LOVED the two brushes she recommended me before, I decided to get it. But then they had none in stock! But! Oh how I looooove my MA... she told me there was one left that was on hold and nobody had come to pick it up. So she asked her manager if I could have it... and I got it! She was so cute, she was hopping about. The brush is so soft, I want to pet it! I'm so glad to hear most people saying it's better than BE. I have no way to get the Japonesque or Cat or Sephora (none near me, and I can't order online... and I just haven't heard enough about Nars), so it works out either way. Yay, I can't wait to use it!

yes it does cost that much but it does not poke the face.. very soft bristles

plus who knows when MAC will release another kabuki?

What is everone using their kabuki with? has anyone tried them with MSFS?

 

[Janelleleo]

I'm using my kabuki mainly for my face powders (select sheer loose / pressed, golden bronze, silver dusk). I tried it for the MSF and while its OK with those I don't think its an adequate substitute for the #187 brush. But with face powder its a dream, it really is everything one would look for in a face powder brush. I haven't really used my #150 since I got the Kabuki. Its also great for just blending all the colors in and creating that seamless look.

Thank goodness for ebay.

Hate to quote myself but I received some mail from MAC today and this brush will cost $AU88 - due on counters 6th February.

I use it with both my mineral foundation (Not BE, MMU's brand before they axed it--it's pressed, and Bombshell Bath's brand as well, which is loose like BE) and Studio Fix.

The brush REALLY buffs in the mineral foundation, it's awesome. VERY flawless look, nice and soft finish. MUCH better at putting on my mineral stuff than the BE brush. I was expecting the scratchiness on my face like I get using my BE kabuki, and there was NONE. I love love love the 182

thanks for all your thoughts everyone.

I got the brush, and I am extremely happy with my purchase! Soft, applies powders (or even blushes) like a dream.

But if you really don't have the money, take some of the suggestions above me. The only real issue here is that a kabuki brush is a MUST HAVE, whether it be by MAC or not.

My DH bought me the kabuki on a business trip

I love it!!! I was one of the naysayers on MUA about this brush, but I have to say that it's fabulous with the beauty powders. I can get so much control with it. It's very tightly packed with a lot of bristles, I like the softeness of it and it fits perfectly with the beauty powder compact size.

I haven't used or tried any other kabuki. I'm glad that an SA talked him into getting this one so I don't have to feel guilty about the outrageous price.

 

[lilu]

Can anyone compare this against the Cat Kabuki?

 

[allan_willb]

i got it without thinking twice about the price...thats what i love about mac i buy one and never ever buy it again....its the softest brush out there softer than the 187 get it NOOOW!!!!!!!!if not in a year it will be like 200 bucks on ebay LMAO!!!no really it will be byeee

 

[brandi]

i bought it the first day it came out... my MAC MA showed them to me before they were coming out it was sooo soft

i just had to get it... now that i went back it's sold out! i'm happy that i got mines!

So I caved in and bought one yesterday.

It is nowhere near as soft as my A'squirrel squirrel kabuki but it is far more dense. They will definitely serve different makeup (and face stroking) purposes and I'm glad I own them both.
