Italian Badger Kabuki Brush

Mineral makeup provides healthy ingredients for your skin and a great look for your face. But, the makeup wouldn't be as beautiful if it wasn't applied well. Kabuki brushes are made for mineral makeup application. One such brush is the Italian badger kabuki brush.

Choose from synthetic or natural hair kabuki brushes. You can purchase synthetic brushes more cheaply than the natural ones but people with sensitive skin may have a problem with synthetic bristles. Skin irritations can result when they are used.

Natural hair brushes are an alternative for those with sensitive skin or those who just like the feel of a softer makeup brush. Italian badger kabuki brushes have become a popular brush type for mineral makeup.

What sets these brushes apart?

These brushes come from the Italian variety of an animal called the badger. They are cute little darlings from the weasel family. Sable, another natural hair, is also a member of the weasel family. Badgers have the same look no matter where they come from. Look at their faces and you will see a white face with a darker streak on either side of their nose.

Italian badger kabuki brushes are softer than a lot of other natural hair makeup brushes. This makes them perfect for applying such powders as foundation, bronzer and blush. The bristles are extremely dense so you won't have the bristles spreading too far and skewing your look. Because you are looking for even, all over coverage, they can do the job well.

Animal lovers don't have to shun natural hair makeup brushes. When making Italian badger kabuki brushes the animals themselves are not harmed. This kabuki brush is cruelty-free so rest easy.

What do these brushes look like?

The look of the brush is similar to the animal itself. The kabuki brushes have dense white hairs that are black on the tips. This distinct coloring makes them easy to identify from other kabuki makeup brushes. If you are in the market for an Italian badger kabuki brush, here are a few choices for you:

Kabuki fan brush

Kabuki flat top brush

Kabuki dome brush

Short kabuki deluxe brush

All of the brushes, regardless of their shape, have the soft bristles that make makeup application a joy. Only a small amount of mineral powder is needed because the powder extends the length of the bristle. Using too much powder can cause caking and accentuate those fine lines and wrinkles.

Anything else?

The key to the best makeup application is taking care of your kabuki brush. It is an animal hair brush so you may notice a slight smell when it arrives. Clean the brush and the smell will eventually disappear.

To clean your Italian badger brush, wash the hairs using your favorite shampoo. Rinse the kabuki brush in clean water and squeeze out any excess water. Shake the bristles to separate them and let it dry completely before using it.
