Flat Top Kabuki Brush By Keshima - Premium Foundation Brush, Buffing Brush, Blending Brush, Face Brush

This was a birthday gift to myself and boy, I chose well. This keshima brush is well known as a dupe for the sigma brush, which has been listed on amazon for only £5 more, so is a 'cheap' dupe that's not a whole bunch cheaper worth the effort? I can't say much about the sigma, but this brush more than meets my expectations and needs. The flat top is fantastic for buffing foundation into the skin rather than letting it sit on top which the traditional foundation brush can do. This leaves a much more natural and 'airbrushed' effect to the face. The bristles are DENSELY packed into the head! a wow for this price bracket and they are super soft enough not to scratch but strong enough to hold their shape with the pressure of application. The bristles pick up enough foundation to disperse evenly without clogging up the brush (and so dragging) and grip enough to not seep or over saturate at the first touch, however I would strongly advise at least wiping the brush every time you use it if not rinsing as unlike the traditional foundation brush which tends to work a bit better with product already on the bristles (obviously not built up but not squeaky clean either), this doesn't and can lead to streaks where the brush is wiping rather than buffing. I'm really pleased with the level of coverage you can build up with this brush with a small amount of product from barely there to full coverage. I have tested this brush with a variety of foundations including oil based and 'water' based, with and without silicones and all though different application levels work well with this brush. It does love a silicone packed foundation as it really helps to buff and blend but I also get a flawless application with a silicone free £4 Makeup Revolution foundation which is clotted cream thick, the trick is buffing not swiping. The handle is chunky which helps support the proper grip for buffing and so enabling a good result by design. My only quibble would have been to take a tip from Real Techniques and flatten the bottom of the brush as it is really handy to stand up when adding another bit of foundation/concealer etc without having to put back in the pot or lay down and thus transfer product. Seriously impressed with this brush, I'm definitely a convert to the kabuki flat head, and considering the quality and the price bracket, this brush should stand for it's quality alone rather than just being a dupe, putting the other set on my Christmas list! A post script, this truly is a company that cares, and hold true to their 100% satisfaction claim as I had an issue with my brush four months down the line and they were fantastic in helping me, I cannot recommend this company highly enough!

Great item, looks sleek and is durable. Decent size and will fit in a makeup bag easily. Good powder and liquid application, goes on smooth with the brush. Great value and stands up again expensive brushes.

Nice brush. Does a good job.

The brush itself is good very soft but there was some shedding from the bristles, and the box was damaged upon arrival. For that reason, I'm taking off a star. In general, having used it, it's a good blending brush. I previously had a Real Techniques brush that fell apart after cleaning; this one cleans perfectly. Update So when the brush arrived there was 3-5 bristles shedding I originally gave 4 stars updated it to 5 because the customer service was excellent. The buyer contacted me and reimbursed me which she didn't have to but did. So thank you

Great brush and great value.

Only used once so far but a lovely soft brush, foundation goes on really nicely! Prefer it to more expensive brushes I’ve used.

I bought this based on the rave reviews as an addition to my brush collection but it is honestly nothing special. My real techniques brush is far better at dispersing foundation. This doesn’t have a particularly dense head and coverage seemed quite patchy, I also used about double the amount of founds than I usually need to. Also quit annoying is the rounded end. I prefer to get my make up and brushes out in readiness when I’m applying, so like a flat end to stand the brush up, so it’s not touching any surfaces, which I couldn’t with this. Just my preference and my fault for not checking. I wouldn’t buy this brand again, I’d stick with real techniques in future.

This foundation brush exceeded my expectations - I’m really pleased with it and it was a lot cheaper than the ones I’ve bought in the past from Mac or Bobbi Brown but just as good. Will definitely buy again!

Der Pinsel ist perfekt. Er nimmt die Foundation gut auf und verteilt sie gleichmäßig auf dem Gesicht. Der Pinsel lässt sich gut reinigen ohne das der Pinsel Haare verliert. Des Weiteren liegt der Pinsel prima in der Hand. Absolute Kaufempfehlung.

Es linda, aunque muy pequeña.

Que vous dire de négatif sur ce pinceau, je ne vois pas ! Je l'ai acheté en remplacement d'un autre modèle qui avait fait son temps et en voyant les prix pratiqués dans les boutiques dédiées, j'ai décidé de tenter ma chance avec ce modèle. Malgré le prix de 10€, il est parfait et n'a rien à envier à des modèles beaucoup plus cher. Je peux appliquer mon fond de teint en toute simplicité et le nettoyage à l'eau et au savon est très facile. Ce pinceau est, du reste, très doux... Pour celles qui recherchent un pinceau à maquillage tout en ne voulant pas se ruiner, foncez, vous ne serez pas déçues. À ce prix là, je ne peux que vous le conseiller !

This brush is great quality and well made.

Perfect brush! Love this brush, very thick and soft, perfectly applied foundation, easily and completely ! Great value!
