Before I invested my money into a kabuki I wanted to test run a cheaper brand's. After looking at the reviews on MUA, I bought CVS's Esscence of Beauty for, I think, $9.99 and I LOVE it! It is so soft and cute and really affordable! It does the job amazingly! I might just pick up another. ; )

Hands down, the 182 from mac. It's an unbelievable brush and well worth the $$ (I believe it's around 40?). It's very dense and super soft and perfect for mineral foundation.

i have the benefit bluff puff and the inglot kabuki.
the benefit one is ok - a bit rough.
the inglot one is awesome.

I always use the Smashbox #19 Face & Body. Works great, it's a pretty dense brush and I love the long handle. I used to use Bobbi Brown's one but now I only use that for powder.
Stay away from the BE ones though, they are so harsh on skin imo!

Interesting side note to this, I was at Inglot the other day and I checked out their brushes, and upon picking up the kabuki, I was struck by how incredibly similar it is to the MAC 182; like... there is literally no difference I could see. So I pulled my MAC 182 out of my bag ( it travels in there for powder touch ups >_> ) and looked at the 182 and the Inglot kabuki side by side, and there is utterly no difference. The handles are the same length, width and shape with the same finish, the bristles are the same colour, length, density and softness. Scrape the print off both and I wouldn't have been able to pick it. So I guess this lends some credence to the rumour that Inglot brushes are manufactured by the same factory as MAC brushes.

I love the MAC 182 as well. It's very worth the money.

that was exactly why i bought the inglot one
it looked and felt identical to the 182 and was cheaper.
sharon7 - inglot is a Polish brand that has been around for ages and is now expanding out into other countries.
their uk website is http://www.inglot.co.uk/ . according to it there is a store in Kent that opened in July. There's also a whole thread dedicated to them in the cosmetic discussion forum

I have a cheapie one from Target that I got years ago. I use it for travel makeup. It's a bit rough, but it serves it's purpose well. I once had the Benefit kabuki, but it shed a lot, so I returned it.

I'm crazy in love with my Too Faced retractable kabuki. It's heavenly soft and cute. It's synthetic, no smell, never shed (I've tried to pull the hair off, yeah, I failed).
