Types of Kabuki Brushes and How to Use Them

The kabuki brush is a very popular makeup brush with a short handle and dense bristles. Its origin can be traced to the heavy makeup worn by Japanese Kabuki dance-drama performers centuries ago. This type of brushes was necessary to apply the heavy makeup evenly all over the face. Today, kabuki brushes are used for all makeup routines, helping bring about a soft, airbrushed, and pore-less looking skin.

A kabuki makeup brush is available in various shapes for different purposes. 
  • Flat Kabuki brush – The flat shape of the head lines up with the surface of the skin to give an even distribution of tinted moisturizers and foundations. It is especially useful to apply mineral powder over the foundation to easily “set it” in place.
  • Rounded Kabuki brush – This slightly rounded shape of the brush is ideal for buffing in pigmented powders like bronzers, highlighters, and blushes into the cheeks. Apply the powder with a rounded kabuki makeup brush in circular motions to give the cheeks a pearly glow.
  • Angled kabuki brush – It is used for contouring the face by creating angles with natural shadows on the skin. Dark pigments on angled kabuki brush are used on the hollows of the cheeks, the sides of the nose, above the eyebrows and the jaw line.
  • Dome Kabuki brush – A dome kabuki makeup brush is used for blending in multicolored concealers while contouring and highlighting the angles of the face. Different colored powders can be applied at different locations in rounded motions until one color blends naturally into the territory of another. 
This is one indispensable accessory all women should have in their makeup boxes.
