Review: My brush Collection: The body shop Slanted Kabuki vs Minerals powder foundation brush

If memory serves, this slanted kabuki brush is a limited edition last Christmas. It retailed at $28 and I got it for $10 when Body Shop had 3 for $10 sale. At first I did not like it that much as TBS mineral powder foundation brush. But ever since I have been using liquid foundation due to drier skin more often, my love to this slanted kabuki brush grows. 

If I apply for liquid or cream foundation, I usually set it with translucent finishing powder--no matter it's in a pressed powder form or loose powder.


Since I like so much the glowy and dewy finish liquid and cream foundations give, I want the beautiful sheen to show. In order to help the makeup last longer I set with powders. However almost all powders I have tried so far are too matte for my liking.

So one day I picked this brush up and decided to give it a try. It works wonders! It picks up the powders and distribute them evenly and lightly on my skin. It gives a very beautiful air brushed look with light- handed application process.

The synthetic fibre hair of this slanted kabuki brush is not as soft as the mineral powder brush though it does not irritates my skin. 



As you can see from the above pics, the slanted kabuki brush is almost twice bigger than the mineral powder foundation brush. 

To sum up, if you are going to apply powder foundation with better coverage, try the mineral powder foundation brush; if you want no powder- on- face look, go for slanted kabuki brush.
