Italian Badger Kabuki Brush
By now, you have heard about the benefits of using mineral makeup. It beautifies using natural minerals from the earth for a flawless look. But, part of that flawless look is the makeup brushes you use to apply it. Hear all about the Italian badger kabuki brush and how it can enhance your makeup application.
Kabuki brushes come in synthetic and natural hair bristles. Some choose the synthetic brushes because they are cheaper. Unfortunately for those with sensitive skin, synthetic bristles can irritate the skin during makeup application.
Natural hair brushes cost a little more but are a delight for those with sensitive skin. The brush is softer and less prone to cause irritation. One of the more popular hair types is the Italian badger kabuki brush.
What sets these brushes apart?
Badgers are cute little animals. They are part of the weasel family. Another member of that family, the sable, also provides natural hairs for kabuki brushes. There are several types of badgers in the world and they have a distinct look. This weasel has a white face with a black streak on either side of their nose.
If you want a truly soft natural hair makeup brush try an Italian badger kabuki brush. The texture makes them just right for all types of mineral powders: bronzers, blushes and foundations. These dense kabuki brushes stay compact for even coverage on your face. Unlike other brushes, they don't have a problem with skewed bristles going every way but down.
The number one concern about natural hair makeup brushes is that there was harm done to the animal from which the hairs were taken. Don't worry. In the making of Italian badger kabuki brushes, the badgers are not harmed. The brushes are completely cruelty-free.
What do these brushes look like?
Italian badger kabuki brushes have a distinct coloring that makes them stand out. The brush is white with black tips just like the animal itself. There are different brushes for different makeup applications. If you are looking for Italian badger kabuki brushes, you can choose from:
Kabuki fan brush
Kabuki flat top brush
Kabuki dome brush
Short kabuki deluxe brush
Each brush has dense soft hairs in various shapes that spread the makeup evenly across your face. Most choose the deluxe brush since it is all-purpose. Makeup applied to these brushes clings to the entire bristle so much is not needed. Excess powder is shaken off so it won't cake on your face. A smooth flawless look is what you want and what you get with an Italian hair kabuki brush.
Anything else?
The key to the best makeup application is taking care of your kabuki brush. It is an animal hair brush so you may notice a slight smell when it arrives. Clean the brush and the smell will eventually disappear.
Since the Italian kabuki makeup brush is made from natural hairs, use the same shampoo for your head on the makeup brush. Rinse the brush in clear water and squeeze out any excess. Shake and separate the bristles before drying it.
