Having the right brushes and applicators in your makeup kit is key to achieving a flawless look every time. Makeup application is an art and an artist is only as good as their tools!

KABUKI BRUSH

From buffing on mineral foundation, dusting on powder, bronzer and blush to using for a final blending step, kabuki brushes are a compact, super versatile must-have tool for every makeup kit.

esmi Skin Minerals Kabuki Brush has dual-layer vegan bristles for a buildable, flawless application of loose mineral foundation or powder.

Perfect for loose mineral makeup beginners or experts to quickly build all-over coverage with a natural look. The soft, dense bristles are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types. The shorter handle allows you to hold the brush close to your face while applying powder offering more control and precision.

Fun fact - the kabuki brush has Japanese origins. It was originally used in drama theatre to apply very heavy makeup made of white rice powder actors.

LIQUID FOUNDATION BRUSH

While you can use the kabuki brush for liquid foundation we recommend using a separate foundation brush for liquid makeup.

The esmi Skin Minerals Liquid Foundation Brush is a vegan, dual-layer bristle brush to buff, build and blend liquid foundation for seamless coverage without messy fingers. Using a liquid foundation brush allows you to get to those hard-to-reach areas of your face, like beneath your eyebrows or nasolabial folds. Apply foundation with your fingers to these areas and you’ll struggle to achieve a streak-free finish.

This vegan foundation brush is ideal beginners or experts. The easy to control brush blends liquid foundation and BB cream for a natural for a flawless finish- the perfect foundation application brush!
Caring for your kabuki brush and liquid foundation brush

Taking proper care of your kabuki brush and foundation application brush so they stay clean and hygienic is crucial for healthy skin. Dirty makeup brushes and tools can harbour bacteria that will come into contact with your skin on each application and can lead to acne breakouts. You should give your kabuki brush and foundation brush a deep cleanse each week or fortnight. 

Run the bristles under the tap to soak them - avoid getting the brush handle wet. Then, put a few drops of brush cleanser, liquid soap or shampoo into the palm of your hand and massage the brush bristles into the cleanser. Rinse and repeat until the water runs clear. Then dry your kabuki brush and foundation brush upside down (on the bristle side) on a piece of paper towel to avoid water running into the handle.

Depending on how frequently you use your brushes, we recommend replacing them every 6 months for optimal application results.
