I got the Jane Cosmetics Kabuki Brush from Walgreens for $4.99.

The brush is similar to my Cat Cosmetics Kabuki Brush, although it seems that the Jane brush is meant for blush application.

I tried the Jane Cosmetics Kabuki brush with my Bare Escentuals foundation, and I wasn’t impressed.

Although the brush is similar in size to the Cat Cosmetics Brush that I’ve had forever, it isn’t as soft.

I almost didn’t give the Jane Kabuki a chance after I swirled it into the top of my BE lid, and saw powder flying everywhere.

That’s never happened to be before, and I didn’t like the idea of wasting all of those minerals - or of having to clean them up off of the counter and floor.

I went ahead and tried the Kabuki, since it already had the minerals on it, and the brush felt really rough as I applied it to my face like I normally do.

I also noticed that the coverage was no where near as good as the coverage that I get with the Cat Cosmetics Kabuki - probably because all of the powder flew out of the lid, instead of going into the brush. Since Kabuki’s usually give me a light coverage, I pretty much had no coverage with the Jane Kabuki.

I did try the Jane Kabuki with powder blush, and it worked well - it wasn’t as scratchy since I don’t use as much pressure when I apply brush as I do when I apply my foundation.

Of course the brush doesn’t work any better than my other blush brushes, so I wouldn’t suggest purchasing it unless you are looking for a blush brush and you like Kabuki brushes.

If you’ve tried a kabuki brush, I’d love to hear what you think about it.
