 What is a Kabuki Brush and How to Use It



Still blending with the same old discolored makeup sponge? Do some spring cleaning with your beauty tools, and upgrade to a luscious brush that will have your makeup looking fresh and flawless for the upcoming season!

The brush we’re currently crushing on is none other than our what is a Kabuki Brush. If you’ve been stuck in a sponge rut — or just aren’t familiar with using this type of brush to apply your complexion products — below you’ll find a full guide on types of kabuki brushes! This includes how to use them, and what results you’ll get with each kind of application.

Type 1: the FLAT KABUKI Brush

When we think of a complexion brush, there are a few things they should all have in common: a chunky barrel and wand, and semi-full to full bristles for buffing in our beauty products. The kabuki stands out in this crowd, for its ability to create a smooth, poreless finish. Think of the flat kabuki brush as the Queen Bey of smooth and poreless. She blends, she buffs, she bakes and pretty much does it all with her unique flat design.

Type 2: the ROUND KABUKI Brush

Imagine the flat kabuki… now instead of the flat bristle head, imagine a subtle, rounded one — similar to a hamburger bun or macaron cookie. This brush will be your go-to for blending and shading with products like powder foundations, bronzers, and blush. The rounded shape makes the edges of the application undetectable, and the shape easily sweeps into the angles and curves of the face.

Type 3: the ANGLED KABUKI Brush

If there were a second in line for the throne to the kabuki empire, it would be the angled kabuki. It is equally as multifunctional as the flat kabuki, but applies some of our most important beauty products — specifically highlighter, contour and blush. This slanted design works best by depositing the most product at the shortest end of the brush, while the longer area is ideal for fanning out product and sweeping along the curves of the face.

Type 4: the DOME KABUKI Brush

A dome brush, despite its minimal functionality, is one that everyone should have in their collection. Tapered at the edges for a more extreme dome (rather than the gradual curve of the round kabuki), this brush is ideal for getting in narrow spots and corners, like under the eyes and around the creases of the nose. It’s great for applying powder, but also works as a highlighter brush for a very soft and diffused glow — rather than an intense beam. Most ideal for powder, this brush is going to be one of the last used in your routine.

Conclusion:

For highlighter, What is a kabuki brush simply dip the tip into your glow and sweep onto the bridge of the nose, center of the forehead and high points of the cheek, with the brush slightly angled rather than pointed directly up. Use gentle sweeping motions until you’ve achieved your desired level of shine.
