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!

This is the best foundation brush I have used, I have just purchased my second one. The first brush lasted exactly 2 years, it suddenly started to shed hairs - so when they go, they go. I never actually wash them, just use makeup remover on a paper towel to clean the bristles. They are SO soft and pliable, easy to contour even in small areas, lovely chunky handle which is very comfortable to use. I swipe foundation on my skin then use the brush to blend out, that way you are not wasting lots of product and it keeps the base of the bristles clean. Nice looking brush too, also lightweight.

Ordered both sizes use the large size for foundation application and the small size for concealer/ undereye. Both really good brushes apply makeup well, don't absorb loads of product and blend really well and easily, and absolutely no shedding when applying makeup so far , very good for the price so far I am happy and think these brushes are really good for the price have paid more money for brushes in the past that are no good and shed all over the place when applying makeup so I am pleased. I cant rate how well they are being cleaned yet as I have only used a couple of times so far so have not attempted cleaning them yet, hopefully no shedding will start to occur once they have been cleaned.

This flat top make up brush is soft and good quality. Very good for putting on my make up. Very happy!

Good quality brush, gives a lovely finish when applying foundation. Good quality and excellent value for money. No shedding.

What a fantastic foundation/compressed powder brush! I love the retractable feature & the cap, keeps it nice n clean ✨️ The bristles are super soft & compact. I wish I'd seen this a long time ago, it would've saved me having to wash my make-up bag quite so often! 🙈

Nice to hold in hand and bristles are soft but sadly let down when the bristles keep falling out

Very good quality. Good coverage.

The brush broke only after 1 week use. Feb 18. Changing the review to 4 stars from 1 star. The seller reached out, refunded the broken brush and sent a free replacement that has no issues so far. Great customer service.

Es linda, aunque muy pequeña.

Die Make-up-Pinsel ist wirklich sehr gut. Die Borsten sind weich, aber trotzdem dicht genug, um das Produkt gleichmäßig aufzutragen. Das Make-up lässt sich damit sehr schön verblenden und das Ergebnis sieht natürlich aus. Außerdem verliert der Pinsel keine Haare und fühlt sich hochwertig an. Für den Preis bin ich sehr zufrieden und würde ihn definitiv wieder kaufen.

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 !

Ha cambiato il mio modo di usare il fondotinta, è veramente necessario per ottenere un effetto uniforme e naturale
