ELF Studio Kabuki

You know when cats rub their face against things and purr? Yup. That’s a pretty accurate representation of what I do with this. And (shh don’t tell him I told you) what hubby-to-be does too when he doesn’t think I’m looking.

I have a fair few brushes and this is by far my favourite. It is £5 from ELF with synthetic bristles. Barginous and animal friendly! What I love about it is that no matter what powder I use it never, ever gives a chalky finish. I have a lot of finishing powders. Some of them are quite cheap and potentially cakey but this smoothes everything out to give a smooth matte finish. I use it daily with powder to set my foundation.

The only thing I would change is the density of the fibres. Though relatively dense it isn’t *quite* dense enough to successfully do things like blend out blush if I’ve over applied. That said maybe if it were more dense it wouldn’t give such a lovely powder finish. With that in mind I am on the hunt for a soft but denser kabuki style brush. Any recommendations are gratefully received!!

I love this brush and am going to be putting in an order soon for backups of this kabuki and the Studio Powder brush. In fact I’m considering filming a Youtube video on the Studio brush collection. Anyone interested in seeing that? xxx
