    I got this brush in the BE Starter Kit, and at first I loved it...until I tried other brushes that did its exact same job! I'm personally not a fan of such short handles, and even though I have...

    I picked this up when I purchased BE's mineral foundation and I am disappointed. It didn't shed when I used it but it has this terrible smell to it. Almost like car oil or a gas station. I can't...

    I agree with others, that this brush is too harsh on the skin. It is simply not soft enough. In addition, I have had shedding issues as well. Not as bad as some have had, but enough to drive me a...

    this brush is just okay. yes, like most other people say, it is very scratchy and pokey. however, after several washes with baby shampoo, it does soften up a bit. in my opinion, i think its the...

    i agree with everyone else. the brush is very scratchy and it pokes at your skin. while it does make the bare escentuals powder go on with more coverage, it is NOT worth the discomfort. soon after...

    Okay so I tried BB's Kabuki and then this one. Initially I was impressed with BE's Kabuki given that it seemed to shed less than my BB (which I have reviewed on this site and which I ended up...

    Save your money, there's way better ones out there (ex: japonesque, studio gear, nars, smashbox). This one will just get rough for the face over time and can't be fixed.

    Even after using it for a few months (so it's well broken in) it continues to shed. Not good!

    I bought this brush before I read the reviews on MUA. I read the reviews while this brush was being posted to me so you can imagine how scared I was - all the fairly poor reviews this poor brush...

    I don't think this brush is good for people with dry skin. It made my skin flaky and itchy. If you have the money to do so get Chanel's #6 powder brush. It's expensive but it lasts forever and does...

    I used Aveda makeup brushes for years. I like this brush- unlike other users, it doesn't scratch my skin. BUT it is WAY overpriced- I know I can find a better full coverage brush for MUCH less...

    I hate this brush! I really do. For the price you pay you should be getting a soft brush that doesn't shed everywhere. I'm glad I received mine included with my starter kit because I would have...

    I got this with my BE kit and it's one of the worst brushes I've ever tried. It actually hurts my skin and is very scratchy. I thought maybe I had gotten a defective model but after reading other...

    This is the first kabuki brush I bought -- b/c I didn't know any better. It's scratchy and the bristles feel like they're taking off my outer layer of skin. I then bought Aromaleigh's and was...

    BE brushes get a lot of crap on the boards, and in reviews. I have used this brush for a little over a year. I thought it was a great brush, since it really does do what a kabuki brush should does....

    This brush is completely and utterly AWFUL. It's <i>so</i> scratchy and irritates my sensitive skin like crazy. After a month and a half of almost everyday use it <u>broke</u>! The brush just came...

    Yes, it sheds like crazy, but mine stopped after I washed it twice. This is a great brush, I use it every day to apply EMs original glo foundation. The only reason why I don't give it 5 lippies is...

    When I first bought this brush, it was nice and strong enough to buff in my MMU. Over time, it became scratchy and very harsh for my skin. I've stopped using it and now I use EM's flocked sponge,...
