What an expensive brush for such poor quality. Every time I use it, I have to spot check my face for any brush shedding, as well as clean up my sink for all of the loose hairs that fall out of the...

Ugh, ugh, ugh! This is a horrible brush -- not soft enough and it sheds like crazy! For the money I expected something really nice. This one is going straight back to Sephora.

Funny thing...I don't use the Kabuki Brush for applying Bare Escentuals. After I'm finished with my BE makeup, I THEN buff my whole face with the Kabuki brush. It blends everything together. ...

I do not really use this brush on my face. It is a bit rough and its coverage is too heavy. After washing it, the bristles became misshapen and not really usable on the face. I use it, though, on...

I love Be and I love the Kabuki brush. I've never had a problem with the brush shedding and it does a fabulous job of applying the foundation. I have noticed that the bristles spread a little as...

Oh, please... This must be a joke. I got this brush with my BE kit and it is incredible how it sheds! I mean, I've used this a couple of times and I end up covered in bristles! I'm throwing it...

I got this in the starter kit..this is not my fave kabuki brush ( I much prefer the MAC catherine deneueve one ) This one sheds and is kind of rough on my skin. It does an okay job at applying the...

I really don't like this brush at all, I've tried but it doesn't make my makeup look right, I use the flawless face brush, it's way better than this one, but I'm going to buy Smashbox face and body...

I happen to LOVE this brush. My Aromaleigh Kabuki finally died so I bought this one to replace it. The brush head picks up a large amount of minerals and distributes evenly. I've not had any...

Brush is extremely scratchy and too big for my face. Bought the heavenly face brush instead which feels wonderful and easier to work with.

I have to concur with the other reviewers here: this brush sheds like crazy!! I too got the BE starter kit, and both the kabuki and blush brush shed. I wondered initially if it was just because it...

For the first two months of using this brush all was fine (except for major shedding, but I didn't really mind that). Then I noticed that it felt a bit scratchy and then I noticed that my face was...

I wrote to Leslie Blodgett of Bare Escentuals when the make-up brushes that came with my introductory minerals make-up kit (ordered on HSN) shed all over my face. There was no response until the...

This is an OK brush but OK isn't good enough for me! It applies the minerals foundation just fine, so I still gave it a 3, and I liked the brush for about 2 weeks...then I noticed the first prick!...

I don't care much for this brush. I think it feels scratchy on my face. I ordered the Jane Iredale Chisel Powder brush and will compare than update my review. For the price I would expect better.

This brush feels great, but I hate that it sheds even with easy use. I most likely wouldn't buy this brush again because buy itself it is expensive. I might get another BE kit and get another one...

OK, but there are better; rather stiff, but I find that isn't necessarily a drawback if your really trying to blend something in. The worst part about the BE kabuki brush, however, is picking the...
